Anterior colporrhaphy: a standard operation? Systematic review of the technical aspects of a common procedure in randomized controlled trials

Abstract: IntroductionAnterior colporrhaphy (AC) is considered a standard procedure and is performed all over the world. However, not a single step of the procedure has ever been truly standardized and the rates of failure show a wide range in the literature from 0% up to 92%. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the differences in technique and procedure worldwide.MethodsWe performed a systematic literature search up to March 2016 using the MeSH terms “(anterior AND (colporrhaph* or colporhaph* or repair* … Show more

“…131 Many pelvic floor surgeons are therefore prone to use absorbable sutures for midline plication. 67 The only previous study comparing PDS® and Vicryl® is a randomized controlled feasibility trial published in 2008 by Allahdin et al They found no differences in prolapse symptom relief or quality of life scores between the groups at follow-up. The study, however, included a mix of anterior, posterior and paravaginal procedures as well as concomitant procedures (hysterectomy, incontinence surgery).…”

“…66 Nonetheless, colporrhaphy is far from a standardized procedure. 67 There are very few trials assessing details of the surgical technique used for colporrhaphies and it remains important to identify surgical factors that may optimize the result.…”

“…Anterior repair or anterior colporrhaphy is used for surgical treatment of cystocele and mild or moderate severity cases of stress incontinence. Anterior colporrhaphy includes plication of fibromusculer layer (pubocervical facia) in midline (13). Repairing of thinning or torn endopelvic facia in midline is possible, and anterior colporrhaphy i.e.…”
