Surgical treatment of uterine prolapse in women with bladder exstrophy: report of two cases with modified Prolift procedure

Lidewij R Bartelink et al. Int Urogynecol J. 2011 Jul.

Abstract

The incidence of pelvic organ prolapse is 18% in women with bladder exstrophy. A vaginal technique to correct the prolapse may be preferable in these women with multiple abdominal operations in their histories. We have performed a modified Prolift procedure for the repair of severe uterine prolapse in two young women. A review of the literature is presented.
