  • Title: Long-term results following fixation of the vagina on the sacrospinal ligament by the vaginal route (vaginaefixatio sacrospinalis vaginalis).
    Author: Richter K, Albrich W.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1981 Dec 01; 141(7):811-6. PubMed ID: 7315907.
    Abstract:
    Vaginaefixatio sacrospinalis vaginalis is an operative procedure whereby the vaginal stump is affixed to the sacrospinal ligament of one side of the vaginal route. Intercourse is not inhibited by this operative method. This technique was performed on 81 patients, starting in 1959, with a follow-up period of up to 10 years. In 78 cases the indication for operation was a true vaginal vault prolapse following hysterectomy; in three cases it was a prolapse of the uterus and the vagina because of complete incompetence of the visceral fascia of the pelvis. The vaginal vault prolapse was alleviated by the colpopexy technique in all patients. However, coexisting cystocele, rectocele, and enterocele and related incontinence remained in a few instances.
