MethodsThe study population consisted of 12 women aged 28-41 years who had stage 4 uterine prolapse and who were surgically treated by abdominal hysteropexy using autogenous rectus fascia strips. Operative results and postoperative follow-up Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification and Prolapse Quality of Life results were recorded. ResultsMean age of patients was 35.54.1 years (range, 28-41). Mean parity in the study group was 2.6 +/- 1.0 (range, 1-5). Mean operation time was 32.0 +/- 5.2min (range, 25-42). All patients were discharged on the postoperative 3rd day and no complications were observed postoperatively. Mean follow-up period was 20 +/- 7.0 months (range, 12-36). All of the patients had complete remission for uterine prolapse and none of the patients had complaints related to the operation. ConclusionAbdominal hysteropexy operation using rectus fascia strips provides a safe and alternative approach for the management of uterine prolapse in young women who desire to preserve their uterus. But further analysis is needed to confirm our results.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAbdominal HysteropexyUterine ProlapseYoung WomenArticle391014651470238554022-s2.0-84900799558Q2WOS:000325465600005Q410.1111/jog.12084
