AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-Abdominal Sacrocoplopexy with Autologous Rectus Fascia Graft Demonstration and Case Series

Abdominal Sacrocoplopexy with Autologous Rectus Fascia Graft Demonstration and Case Series

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses a procedure called abdominal sacrocobal plexus, which is used to correct pelvic organ prolapse. It explores a novel technique using an autologous rectus fascia graft as an alternative to synthetic mesh grafts, which have been associated with complications. The video goes through the steps of the procedure, including creating the graft and anchoring it to the vaginal apex and ligaments over the sacrum. It also presents a small case series of postmenopausal women who underwent this procedure, showing positive outcomes in terms of support for the vaginal apex and resolution of urinary incontinence. Further research and analysis of the autologous rectus fascia graft are recommended.
