AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-Sacrospinous Ligament Colpopexy with Graft Augmentation

Sacrospinous Ligament Colpopexy with Graft Augmentation - A View from Above

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides an overview of the anatomic relationship of the sacrospinous ligament and its surrounding structures. The sacrospinous ligament is a dense connective tissue that contributes to the stability of the pelvis. It is important for surgeons performing ligament suspensions to be familiar with the nearby neurovascular structures. The video also demonstrates the surgical procedure for treating pelvic organ prolapse using an extraperitoneal approach with sacrospinous ligament apical suspension with graft augmentation. Complications of this procedure include hemorrhage and neurologic pain. To reduce complications, sutures should be placed carefully, taking into account the location of the ischial spine and neurovascular structures.
