Post Radical Cystectomy Vault Prolapse Repair by Vaginal Closure

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a procedure is demonstrated for repairing pelvic organ prolapse (POP) after a radical testectomy. POP is a common complication of this surgery and can cause physical inconvenience. The procedure involves side-to-side closure of the vagina, reducing it to its normal position. Two U-shaped lines are drawn on the vaginal mucosa to mark the incision. The vaginal mucosa is dissected and sutures are placed to attach the vaginal walls together in three layers. The labia majora is also sutured. The procedure successfully seals the vaginal canal with no further prolapse. This video is credited to Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa, Israel.
