To explore the feasibility and clinical effect of laparoscopic sacrum fixation with swallow-tailed mesh in the treatment of middle and/or combined posterior pelvic cavity defects.
Methods
:
2
The clinical data of 4 patients with middle and/or combined posterior pelvic cavity defects treated by laparoscopic sacrum fixation with swallow-tailed mesh in Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children in 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. In this study
self-made mesh and self-designed puncture cone were used to complete the operation.
Results
:
2
Four patients were diagnosed as middle pelvic cavity combined with posterior pelvic defects
including 3 cases of uterine prolapse with vaginal posterior wall expansion
and 1 case of vaginal vault prolapse with enterocele. All patients received swallow-tailed sacrum fixation and successfully suffered from the operation
without auxiliary vaginal repairment and conversion to open abdomen
and no complications of intestinal tube and other organ damage during the operation. The average time of operation was 166 min
and the average amount of bleeding was 68 mL. All the patients were discharged smoothly 5-6 days after operation. According to the follow-up
ultrasound showed that the pelvic organs were in normal position
the mesh coverage was flat
the rectal and vaginal examination mesh was flat without tension
and the posterior wall of the vagina was soft without swelling.
Conclusion
:
2
The swallow-tailed sacrum fixation can repair and strengthen the levelⅠdefects as well as the levelⅡandⅢdefects
which is an effective method for the treatment of the middle pelvic cavity defects and the combination of the middle and the posterior pelvic cavity defects
and is also suitable for the diagnosis and treatment of the posterior pelvic cavity defects.
