Video Transcription

Video Summary

Pectopexy is a surgical alternative to sacrocolpopexy for patients with colonic pathology who cannot undergo mesh sacrocolpopexy. The procedure involves using mesh to create support for the vaginal vertex, utilizing the pectineal ligaments as support points. Pectopexy has been shown to have similar results to sacrocolpopexy, with lower postoperative intestinal symptoms. It does not involve placing mesh near the colon, making it suitable for patients with diverticular disease. The technique involves dissecting the pectineal ligament, attaching the mesh to the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina, and securing it to the pectineal ligaments. Pectopexy is a useful option for patients with contraindications for sacrocolpopexy.
