PFD Week 2018-Cervical Elongation in the Setting of Uterine Preservation

Cervical Elongation in the Setting of Uterine Preservation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Carson Kaeser and Mickey Cram from the Christ Hospital in Cincinnati discuss the management of cervical elongation in a patient who desired future fertility. The patient had previously undergone sacrohystopexy with rectocele and experienced a recurrence of prolapse while on vacation. Upon re-examination, it was found that her cervix was at the level of the hymen with good apical support. The patient was diagnosed with cervical elongation, cystocele, and rectocele and underwent a partial trachelectomy with anterior and posterior repair. The procedures involved making incisions circumferentially, dissecting and removing the cervix, suturing the cervical canal, addressing the cystocele with an anterior repair, and performing a posterior repair. Additionally, a balloon Foley catheter was inserted to prevent cervical stenosis. A cystoscopy revealed a rectocele and widened genital hiatus.
