Total Pelvic Floor Lifting: A New Approach for the Anatomic Repair of Pelvic Floor Hypermobility and Vaginal Laxity in Parous Women.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Global Open 2024 Februrary
Recent years have seen a steady increase in the information available regarding pelvic floor changes after childbirth. Obstetric trauma, to which all structures of the urogenital sphere are subjected, can affect different anatomical areas, including the vagina, perineum, deep pelvic floor muscles, and sphincter. Main complaints of parous women with regard to their pelvic floor are vaginal laxity, a wide introitus, and increased mobility of the uterus. Unilateral pectineal suspension is a novel method for surgical correction of the sequelae of vaginal birth-giving such as uterine hypermobility and perception of loose tissue, restoring a natural anatomy when conservative therapy has failed. Since the method is not ablative and does not interfere with anatomical structures, subsequent pregnancies and deliveries remain possible. Furthermore, there is no mesh application, adding to the safety aspects of this unique approach. The surgical technique is straightforward and can be adopted by laparoscopically trained surgeons without problems. The procedure consists of five clearly defined steps, which makes it easily reproducible. Unilateral pectineal suspension restores the pelvic floor and the vagina, with a single suture lifting the sagging structures back to their original position. If needed and according to the patient's choice, a short perineum associated with a wide introitus can be corrected in the same session by perineoplasty, resulting in a total aesthetic reconstruction of the female genital anatomy.
