Vaginal extirpation of the uterus using implants made of titanium silk to prevent recurrence of the disease

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The frequency of post-hysterectomy prolapse of the vaginal dome reaches 43% in patients after surgical treatment for complete uterine prolapse. Goal ― improving the effectiveness of surgical treatment with titanium mesh implants in pre- and postmenopausal patients with complete uterine prolapse.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 21 patients with complete uterine prolapse who underwent the proposed new method of transvaginal surgical prevention of post-hysterectomy prolapse of the vaginal dome. The result of surgical treatment was evaluated by analyzing the data of vaginal examination and ultrasound.

RESULTS: Patients were observed for 2 years ― after 1, 6, 12 and 24 months. Analysis of vaginal examination and ultrasound data showed no displacement of the vaginal dome, pelvic organs and deformation of titanium implants. There were no mesh-associated complications during follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of the developed surgical method for the correction of post-hysterectomy prolapse of the vaginal dome with the use of implants made of titanium silk is a reliable tool that provides anatomical efficiency in pre- and postmenopausal patients.
