Pelvic support defects and visceral and sexual function in women treated with sarcospinous ligament suspension and pelvic reconstruction

Article Abstract:

Women having sacrospinous ligament suspension and pelvic reconstruction may develop vaginal prolapse over time. Researchers followed up 243 women who had had this procedure to correct vaginal prolapse for an average of 74 months. At one year, 88% of the women were free of problems, but by five years, 20% of the group had developed a second degree prolapse or more or were experiencing urinary, bowel, or sexual function symptoms, rising to half the group by ten years. Five percent of the group had subsequent pelvic reconstructive surgery.
