Laparoscopic Retrovesical Colpopectinopexy—A New Approach in Prolapse Surgery: Preliminary Results

Abstract Objective: Female pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is one of the main reasons for quality-of-life impairment in women. Urinary incontinence and sexual disorders are among the most frequent complaints. Several kinds of procedures in different surgical approaches exist but none has been accepted as a “gold standard.” The goal of this research was to assess a new technique, laparoscopic retrovesical colpopectinopexy (LRC) for POP. Materials and Methods: LRC was assessed for safety and long-term outcomes ina retrospective review of medical records and telephone call interviews of 22 consecutive patients who underwent LRC for POP from December 2011 through September 2015. LRC with use of polypropylen meshes was performed in all cases, using three trocars. All procedures were performed in one clinic by 1 surgeon.
