Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video showcases a surgical case of anterior sacral meningiocele repair during abdominal sacrocopalpexy. Anterior sacral meningiocele is a rare condition where a meningeal sac herniates through a defect in the sacrum's anterior aspect. It is usually diagnosed when symptoms manifest, such as pelvic organ compression and constipation. In this case, the patient had uterovaginal prolapse and an enlarged meningiocele. The surgery involved decompressing the meningiocele, dissecting it, securing its base with fiber tape, collapsing it, and repairing the opening. An abdominal sacrocopalpexy and supracerbical hysterectomy were also performed. The patient experienced improvements in her symptoms after the surgery. No credits were mentioned.
