[Surgical correction of recurrent uterine prolapse by means of the PTFE (1) plate].

Abstract

Surgical cure of recurrent prolapsus of the genital organs or after hysterectomy is not an easy to attain. Most authors use prosthetic to obtain a satisfactory anatomic and functional results which lasts. Since 1985, the tissue-reinforcement prosthesis GORE-TEX* was used in this type of situation for 50 patients. The operation remains simple, but certain technical details are of great importance. The material is solid and well tolerated. Results are good with long follow-up. One of the important points for a successful treatment is probably to treat directly and simultaneously all the lesions involved, recognizing that prolapsus of the genital organs is a continuous disease process.
