Surgical repair of recurrent prolapse after LeFort colpocleisis

Kay Ann Hoskey et al. Int Urogynecol J. 2012 Mar.

Abstract

Recurrent pelvic organ prolapse occurs rarely after obliterative procedures. The optimal surgical approach for therapy is unknown. We describe a case of recurrent prolapse after LeFort colpocleisis. The patient presented with stage III prolapse through the lateral vaginal channel. At surgery, the prolapse was repaired using a modified repeat colpocleisis and repeat perineorrhaphy. Transvaginal revision via modified repeat colpocleisis should be considered for treatment of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse after LeFort colpocleisis.
