Laparoscopic Uterosacral Uterine Suspension and Paravaginal Repair: Use of a Novel Suturing Device

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a surgical procedure for treating uterovaginal prolapse in women is demonstrated. The case involves a woman with stage 2 apical and anterior wall prolapse who wanted to preserve her uterus and opted for a non-synthetic mesh repair. The procedure involves identifying and protecting the ureters, manipulating the uterus, and taking sutures to repair the ligaments. The paravaginal defect repair is then performed using dissection techniques and sutures. The video showcases the use of a reusable suturing device for convenience and accuracy. Overall, the procedure is shown to be effective for treating symptomatic mild to moderate uterovaginal prolapse with a paravaginal defect.
