Abstract:
The goal of this study was to evaluate the long‐term outcomes of laparoscopic colposuspension to the C ooper's ligament after hysterectomy for uterovaginal prolapse. Material and Methods We performed chart reviews of 43 patients with uterovaginal prolapse who underwent laparoscopic colposuspension to the C ooper's ligament after hysterectomy at D aejeon S t. M ary's H ospital, C atholic U niversity of K orea from 2003 to 2009. These patients exhibited grade 3 (29 patients) or grade 4 (14 patients) uterovaginal prolapse. Results The mean age was 63.2 years (range, 39–76). The mean follow‐up period was 44.2 months (95% CI , 36.8–51.5). Forty‐three patients showed no sign or recurrence of prolapse. Postoperative complications were tolerable and curable. Urinary frequency (2 patients, 4.7%), voiding difficulty (2 patients, 4.7%), nocturia (1 patient, 2.3%) and vaginal spotting (1 patient, 2.3%) were reported. Conclusion Laparoscopic colposuspension using C ooper's ligament after hysterectomy could be an effective surgical option for the treatment of uterovaginal prolapse.
