The procedure would be laparotomic in my hands, but I believe that also the laparoscopic approach works very well. The operation is usually quite simple and it's similar to the standard sacropexy performed for vaginal vault prolapse, except for the fact that the mesh(es) is(are) secured to the posterior aspect of the uterine isthmus. -- Mario Colombo, MD Uroginecologic Unit San Gerardo Hospital Monza University of Milan Italy > Elrod Glen wrote: > I have a 32 yo G2P2 that had uterine prolapse during her last pregnancy and > now has symptomatic prolapse, with associated rectocele and cystocele.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
