Abstract
Post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapsed is a common complication
following different types of hysterectomy which can lead to significant
urinary, anorectal and sexual impairment in the patients. Pre existing
pelvic floor defect is the most important predicting factor in the
future
development of vaginal vault prolapse. Preventive measures can be taken
intraoperatively to reduce the incidence of later development of vault
prolapse but the possibility cannot be eliminated completely. Both
vaginal and abdominal approaches have been advocated for the correction
of vault prolapse. With the abdominal approach, the results are better
and recurrence is less. However, recovery time is more and the procedure
requires a lot of bowel manipulation. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy can
circumvent the disadvantages of open abdominal approach while
retaining its advantages of great patient satisfaction and less
recurrence. Being a minimally invasive procedure, lap sacrocolpopexy
allows for
less blood loss and speedy recovery. Here, we present a retrospective
analysis of 25 cases of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy over 2 years.
