"Posterior culdeplasty": revisited.
A 22-year-old retrospective review was made of 68 cases treated by the technique of posterior culdoplasty. Indications were moderate to large enterocele (40), complete procidentia (18), and complete prolapse of the vaginal vault after hysterectomy (10). Indications, techniques, and complications are presented. The wedge culdoplasty of Torpin gave good results in moderate-sized enteroceles. The "posterior culdeplasty" of McCall gave very good long-term results (2 to 22 years), especially in the group of patients (28) with complete vaginal eversion who were desirous of maintaining their sexual function.
