Correction of complete urogenital prolapse with infibulation.
1997
OBJECTIVE: The clinical case presented herein is part of a study intended to demonstrate the validity of infibulation, either alone or combined with bladder neck suspension, for correction of genital prolapse associated with urinary disturbances (incontinence, urine retention) in elderly patients whose general condition does not permit the use of prolonged anesthesia or major destructive surgery. METHODS: Urodynamic and echographic tests are carried out before and after the operation to evaluate changes in mictional kinetics and postmictional residues. RESULTS: To date, four other cases have benefited from the treatment described. CONCLUSION: While no definitive conclusions can be drawn from such a limited number of cases, they do however encourage continued experimentation given the frequency of the problem and its social importance.
