Summary

Laparoscopic lateral mesh suspension is emerged as a practical, safe and feasible alternative to sacropexy to treat female genital apical prolapse. Investigators hypothesized that uterus-preserving lateral suspension provides a better anatomical positioning.

Detailed description

Suspending the cervix to the bilateral abdominal wall through subperitoneal tunnels may properly mimic cardinal ligament and restore the normal vaginal axis. To prove the null hypothesis, it is planned to compare the vaginal axis on Magnetic Resonans Imaging taken preoperatively and postoperatively in patients who are scheduled for lateral mesh suspension for apical prolapse.

Conditions

• Prolapse Genital
• Anatomical Pathological Condition

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Magnetic resonance imaging	MRI will be performed using a standard body spiral in the supine position with 5 mm section thickness, on the axial, coronal and sagittal planes and the diffusion weighted images acquired will be evaluated by a specialised radiologist who will be blind to the participants.
