Severe cystocele: optimizing results. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Despite multiple variations in cystocele repair techniques, success rates have been historically low. In this review we summarize strategies to optimize long-term results of vaginally approached cystocele repair for the high-grade defect. Our proposed strategies include addressing prolapse of the vaginal apex (the uterus or the vaginal cuff), using the obturator fascia as an anchor for lateral cystocele defect repair, augmenting the repair with loosely woven polypropylene mesh, and placing a midurethral sling.
