Laparoscopic bilateral cervicosacropexy: introduction to a new tunneling technique
2019
Introduction and hypothesis
To elevate and suspend the apical end of the vagina, the uterosacral ligaments (USL) were replaced by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) structures. These PVDF structures were placed in the peritoneal folds of the USL at the pelvic wall to mimic the lateral and backward tension and to avoid rectal obstruction. A special tunneling device was used, which allowed the semi-circular placement of the structure without destroying the peritoneum.
