The Change in Vaginal Axis on MRI After Uterus Preserving Laparoscopic Lateral Mesh Suspension

Laparoscopic lateral mesh suspension is emerged as a practical, safe and feasible alternative to sacropexy to treat female genital apical prolapse. Investigators hypothesized that uterus-preserving lateral suspension provides a better anatomical positioning.

Suspending the cervix to the bilateral abdominal wall through subperitoneal tunnels may properly mimic cardinal ligament and restore the normal vaginal axis. To prove the null hypothesis, it is planned to compare the vaginal axis on Magnetic Resonans Imaging taken preoperatively and postoperatively in patients who are scheduled for lateral mesh suspension for apical prolapse.

Inclusion Criteria:
