[Abdominal sacrocolpopexy in the enterocoele treatment--analysis of the surgical technique and the course of the initial procedures].
OBJECTIVE
Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is one of the most effective treatments of enterocoele. Alas, little is known about complications resulting from the procedure.


METHODS
The aim of the study was to analyze the course of the operation, the perioperative period and the outcome of abdominal sacrocolpopexy.


METHODS
8 women, aged 60-75, have undergone the operation. The sacrocolpopexy procedure has been performed through abdominal access on patients with considerable enterocele (III and IV degree on POP-Q scale). Polypropylene multifilament tape Surgipro (Tyco) has been applied in all cases.


RESULTS
All of the procedures have run without any complications. The patients did not complain about any major ailments during postoperative period and have been released from the hospital according to schedule. One month after the operation, the check-up proved the outcome was good. After six months, III degree POP has been diagnosed again in two patients with previously performed Richter operation and, additionally, vaginal erosion has been found in one of them.


CONCLUSIONS
Abdominal sacrocolpopexy procedure involves a low risk of complications. Detailed evaluation will only be possible after assessing higher number of procedures and estimating the results after a longer period of time.
