Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral sacrospinous vault fixation (BSSVF) using synthetic mesh in restoring the normal anatomical relationships of the vaginal vault in women with and without a uterus, utilizing MRI for analysis.
- Ten women were assessed post-surgery, and their pelvic measurements were compared to those of a control group of nulliparous women, showing that BSSVF successfully matched the distances from the vaginal apex to the ischial spine.
- Results indicated that while BSSVF restored the necessary anatomy, clinical resolution of apical prolapse was achieved in all participants within six weeks after surgery, leading to further research into comparative techniques.
