title: [Total vaginal hysterectomy for genital prolapse apropos of 10 cases].
abstract: There are many variants in vaginal hysterectomy procedures owing to precises indications. We have performed a total vaginal hysterectomy procedure which technique is described herein. Our procedure was using the preexisting anatomic structures. It allows a solid cure adapted to each compound of the genital prolapse. Among a series of 10 cases, we report few complications. An important peroperative bleeding occurred in one case. The postoperative morbidity included 1 case of genital infection and 1 case of urinary fistula. One patient died from a cause not reliable to the procedure. The mean duration of the hospital stay was 10 days. After 2 years follow up, 9 of our patients have good anatomical and functional results. The shortness of this series does not allow us to concluded definitively. However, our results are comparable with those reported in the literature.
