Abstract:

Pelvic organ prolapse is a disease prevalent in middle-aged and elderly women. Surgery is often the ultimate choice to eliminate the symptoms of prolapse. However, there is currently no uniform standard for the treatment of this disease, and the existing surgical methods have obvious advantages, disadvantages, and applicability. In recent years, clinicians have favored laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh as a technique for preserving the uterus and achieving postoperative beauty for women. This surgery has proven to have good therapeutic results in both uterus preservation and hysterectomy, with short learning curve, low risk, minimal bleeding and low complication rate. The high success rate of this surgery and its modifications in the treatment of anterior and intermediate ventricular prolapses reflects the universality of the procedure and the high rate of complications. The universality and practicality of this procedure is expected to become a substitute for laparoscopic sacralcolpopexy. Among the different types of mesh materials, polypropylene synthetic mesh exhibits a lower incidence of complications and is the preferred extracorporeal repair material for laparoscopic surgery.
