  • Title: [Spinous fixation (vaginae fixatio sacrospinalis) in the treatment of vaginal prolapse after hysterectomy].
    Author: Richter K, Dargent D.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1986; 15(8):1081-8. PubMed ID: 3819357.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe an operation for treating true prolapse of the vagina which can follow total hysterectomy. The vault is fixed to the little sacro-coccygeal ligament. They report 133 case histories. The results are very good indeed in 60% of cases. True failures are rare: 2 out of 100 cases in Richter's series and 3 out of 12 cases in Dargent's series.
