Introduction and Objective |
There is limited data regarding the use of mesh for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair in young women of childbearing age who wish to preserve their uterus.1 Sacrohysteropexy with concurrent rectopexy can be performed in this population with a biologic graft, to decrease the risk of contamination with colorectal surgery and allow for future pregnancy.2, 3, 4 The objective of this video is to present the surgical management of prolapse repair in a young woman with uterine and rectosigmoid prolapse, causing rectal outlet obstruction.
Materials and Methods |
Our patient is a 21-year-old woman with over a decade of severe constipation. Her past medical history includes anxiety, depression and sexual abuse. She previously underwent robotic rectopexy for intra-rectal intussusception and mucosal prolapse with immediate improvement in her symptoms; however, two months after rectopexy, she suffered from persistent abdominal pain and severe difficulty passing stool. Dynamic resonance imaging demonstrated descent of the bladder with significant uterine prolapse, causing impingement of rectum and rectocele, blocking the evacuation of stool. The patient was thus indicated for concurrent sacrohysteropexy and rectopexy.
Results |
She underwent a robotic procedure. Given her age, in an effort to preserve future child-bearing potential, we performed the surgery with a biologic graft made of fascia lata. For the sacrohysteropexy, the graft was sutured to the posterior cervix. Intraoperatively she was noted to have an intact enterocele repair and posterior rectopexy from her previous surgery; however, there was an angulation at the recto sigmoid. This was corrected by performing a rectopexy to the fascia lata graft. She discharged home the day of surgery without incident.
Conclusion |
Biologic grafts can be used for multi compartment prolapse repair in women of child-bearing age. Fascia lata provides a safe alternative to mesh to allow for future pregnancy. Also, sacrohysteropexy with concurrent rectopexy can be performed with same day discharge.
