Surgical treatment of uterine prolapse in woman who wishes to preserve her uterus remains a major surgical challenge. This case series describes a new surgical technique for uterine suspension in women who wish to preserve their uteri, using the Mersilene tape as an artificial uterosacral ligament to suspend the uterus to the sacral promontory. Four women with genital prolapse (two with stage 1 uterine prolapse and two with stage 2 uterine prolapse and stage 1 vaginal walls prolapse) who requested a uterine conserving procedure were offered I. Adelazim sacrohysteropexy technique as a new surgical option for treatment of the uterine prolapse. This surgical technique is formed of three basic steps: (1) exposure of the anterior longitudinal ligament over the sacral promontory and exposure of the uterosacral ligaments on the back of the uterine cervix; (2) fixation of the Mersilene tape as Y-shaped artificial uterosacral ligament extended from the sacral promontory to the back of the uterine cervix; and (3) closure of the incised visceral peritoneum over the artificial Y-shaped uterosacral ligament. The mean operative duration of was 50.5 ± 8.4 min and the mean estimated blood loss was 480 ± 67.8 ml. No intraoperative or postoperative complications or recurrence of the uterine prolapse were recorded in the studied cases. is an effective uterine suspension technique for treatment of uterine prolapse in women who wish to preserve their uteri, using the Mersilene tape as an artificial uterosacral ligament to suspend the uterus to the sacral promontory.

Pregnancies complicated by uterine prolapse are rare, occurring in 1 in 10 000 to 15 000 deliveries. We report a case of uterine prolapse at 36 weeks of gestation that resulted in vaginal delivery by placement of a colpeurynter (intravaginal balloon). The patient was a 33-year-old pregnant woman with a history of uterine prolapse during her previous pregnancy.

Background: Vaginal pessaries are a common method of managing pelvic organ prolapse (POP), as well as different types of urinary incontinence, allowing patients to successfully improve overall quality of life. Yet despite their positive attributes, there are several reasons why patients may choose to discontinue using pessaries and proceed with surgery to treat their condition instead. This study aimed to explore patients' experiences of pessary use in treating POP.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a debilitating condition that diminishes quality of life, and it has been linked to pregnancy and aging. Injury of the uterosacral ligaments (USLs), which provide apical support to the pelvic organs, is a major cause of uterine prolapse. In this study, we examined the effect of pregnancy and age on the apparent elastic modulus, susceptibility to collagen damage, and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition of the murine USL.

The prevalence of POP in women ranges from 30-40%, with 10-20% requiring surgical intervention. Annually, over 225,000 surgical procedures for POP are performed in the United States. The severity of prolapse is assessed using the four-stage POP-Q system, which facilitates clinical research by providing a standardized measure of defect severity.
