Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether the bilateral sacrospinous vault fixation (BSSVF) with synthetic, polypropylene mesh arms restores the nulliparous anatomic relationships of the vaginal vault in women with and without uterus using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: This was a prospective case series of women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who, after BSSVF, underwent a pelvic MRI (1-13 months postoperatively). Postsurgical pelvic distances were measured from MRI scans and compared with measurements from a group of 11 nulliparous women with adequate pelvic support who underwent MRI in a previous study.

In recent years, pelvic floor surgeons have increasingly repaired pelvic organ prolapse around an intact uterus. Uterine conservation and hysteropexy have been driven by patient preference, less risk of mesh erosion, shorter operative time, and decreased blood loss and postoperative pain. We present a case series of patients with cervical elongation after vaginal sacrospinous hysteropexy using polypropylene mesh arms, a novel technique developed by the senior author.
