Brief Summary

SSLF is typically a suture-based attachment of the vaginal apex to the sacrospinous ligament, either unilaterally or bilaterally. It is usually accomplished with specially designed equipment in English-language scientific literature. However, these instruments either reusable or disposable are relatively expensive and difficult in accessibility, and are not yet widely applied around China. Typical Asian smaller pelvis offers us an optional repair procedure with conventional surgical instruments instead of special instrument.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Success rate of SSLF with conventional instruments

    1. Symptomatic prolapse below grade II occurred at 3 months after operation, and the severest indication point in POP-Q evaluation was taken as the criterion. No vaginal swelling sensation, that is answer "no" for PFDI-20 Questionnaire Question 3, "Do you often see or feel vaginal tumors come out?". 2. The patient's self-perception symptoms is improved or improved significantly, that is answer 1 or 2 for the PGI-C questionnaire. 3. There is no need of further treatment for prolapse, such as reoperation or pessary. 4. Pelvic MRI evaluation on postoperative 3 months follow-up

    up to 36 months after operation

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Postoperative recurrence

    from 3 months after operation up to 36 months after operation

  • visual analogue scales

    within 3 days after operation

  • symptomatic improvement using validated instruments(PFIQ-7)

    up to 36 months after operation

  • symptomatic improvement using validated instruments(PFDI-20)

    up to 36 months after operation

  • symptomatic improvement using validated instruments(PISQ-12)

    up to 36 months after operation

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

sacrospinous ligament suspension (SSLF) as a typical native tissue repair procedure is one of the most widely used vaginal procedures for correcting apical prolapse. Ischial spinous fascia fixation (ISFF) will be the replacement procedure if SSLF will not be accomplished by conventional surgical instruments due to unsatisfactory exposure of spinous fascia.

Also known as: ischial spinous fascia fixation

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

Study Population

Women with apical prolapse with POP-Q III or IV who are planned to have unilateral SSLF is planned

You may qualify if:

  • Women with apical prolapse with POP-Q III or IV
  • Unilateral (all sutured to right sacrospinous ligament) SSLF is planned,while with vaginal hysterectomy, anterior/posterior vaginal wall repair or mid-urethral suspension could be performed simultaneously.
  • Women who have been eligible for long-term follow-up.
  • Women who agreed to participate in the study and signed informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Women who have surgical history for prolapse
  • Women who have contraindication for surgical procedure
  • Women who are unable to comply with the study procedures
