Uterine-sparing Uterosacral Ligament Suspension

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates a minimally invasive vaginal approach to uterine sparing utero-sacral ligament suspension, a procedure for pelvic organ prolapse repair. Traditionally, surgeons have performed a hysterectomy alongside prolapse repair, but there is growing evidence supporting uterine conservation. Many women prefer to retain their uterus for various reasons. Uterine sparing surgery offers advantages such as maintaining fertility, reducing surgical time and blood loss, and avoiding unnecessary procedures. The video describes the uterine sparing utero-sacral ligament suspension technique and highlights its effectiveness in supporting the apex and maintaining vaginal length. It concludes that this approach is a viable option for women seeking uterine preservation during prolapse repair.
