Ivalon sponge hysterosacropexy for genital prolapse in patients with bladder extrophy.
Two patients with bladder extrophy are presented. Both had had corrective surgery in childhood and subsequently presented with recurrent procidentia after a previously unsatisfactory repair operation. Both were treated by hysteroscaropexy (a new procedure) which is described in detail and when reviewed 12 months later were symptom-free with good genital tract support.
