PFD Week 2016-Native Tissue Bilateral Sacrospinous Fixation Using Novel Suture Capture Device

Native Tissue Bilateral Sacrospinous Fixation Using Novel Suture Capture Device

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Ty Erikson reviews a modified surgical procedure involving the sacrospinous ligament fixation using native tissue and a novel suture device. The video demonstrates the placement of the suture cap into the device's head, followed by the dissection in the posterior compartment and exposure of the sacrospinous ligament. The device's flexible head is introduced to the ligament, and the needle is fired into the cap. The procedure is performed bilaterally to provide support to the vaginal apex. By maintaining alignment and avoiding deviation, the risk of future anterior compartment defects is reduced. Closure of the incision and post-operative care are also shown.
