title: Ivalon sponge hysterosacropexy for genital prolapse in patients with bladder extrophy.
abstract: 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.
