A Novel Suturing Technique for Natural Tissue Repair in Cystocele Treatment

The rug weaving-like plication technique may offer a viable alternative for cystocele repair without mesh, utilizing natural tissue.

Conditions

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to compare patients who underwent cystocele repair using the rug weaving plication technique, a natural tissue repair method implemented since 2022 for anterior prolapse, with those treated using conventional techniques.

The investigators retrospectively reviewed 33 patients who underwent anterior vaginal wall repair with the rug weaving-like plication technique and 32 patients who underwent surgery using conventional colporrhaphy. The investigators recorded demographic data and operative details of the patients. At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,the investigators assessed patients' complaints, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q), Modified Oxford Scoring (MOS), and pelvic floor muscle strength. The investigators measured bladder wall thickness between the bladder and anterior vaginal wall using Transvaginal Ultrasonography (USG) and compared demographic data, operative details, and postoperative outcomes between the two groups.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q)
Time Frame: Maximum 6 months

Postoperative anterior wall POP-Q

Measurements were conducted with a scaled abeslang while the patient was in the lithotomy position. Evaluation of the anterior compartment involved measuring points Aa and Ba, the apical compartment involved points C and D, and the posterior compartment involved points Ap and Bp. Staging was determined based on the lowest point of prolapse. Stage 0 indicated normal pelvic floor support, Stage 2 indicated a distance between -1 and 1 from the hymen, and Stage 4 indicated total uterine prolapse (prosidentia). Stages 1,2 and 3 indicated intermediary levels of prolapse severity, counting for grades between Stage 0 and 4.

Maximum 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Bladder thickness
Time Frame: Maximum 6 months
Postoperative bladder thickness:Bladder wall thickness between the bladder and anterior vaginal wall was measured using transvaginal ultrasonography and recorded in millimeters
Maximum 6 months
