Posterior sling (infracoccygeal sacropexy): an alternative procedure for vaginal vault prolapse.
This study of 30 patients evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the posterior sling (infracoccygeal sacropexy) in the surgical treatment of vaginal vault prolapse. The patients were reevaluated 3 months, 6 months and yearly postoperatively. Coexisting preoperative symptoms of pelvic pain, urgency, nocturia and 'obstructed' micturition feeling were followed-up. There was remarkable improvement in vault prolapse and in coexisting symptoms.
