Abstract

Objective: To describe successful management of postoperative urinary incontinence in a woman who underwent laparoscopic cervical sacropexy for severe genitourinary prolapse. Setting: Tertiary medical center. Subject: A 40-year-old woman, who suffered from severe uterine prolapse and wished to have her uterus preserved, underwent laparoscopic cervical sacropexy. She began to suffer from stress urinary incontinence at 3 months after surgery. Results: The patient underwent a minimally invasive tension-free vaginal taping using procedure, which allowed her to regain a normal social life. Conclusions: The patient's severe uterine prolapse was repaired by means of laparoscopic cervical sacropexy, and she benefited from relatively less postoperative pain and quicker recovery. Although stress urinary incontinence developed 3 months after surgery, the patient regained continence after minimally invasive tension-free vaginal taping.
