In 54 patients, transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation procedures were reviewed retrospectively. The mean operation time was 15 (12–45) min. The mean blood loss was 126 (110–175) cm³. The only intraoperative complication was a rectal laceration that was repaired primarily. The mean duration of follow-up was 28 (4–54) months. There were only 2 recurrent vaginal vault prolapses. There were 3 cases of cystocele (5.5%), 1 case of rectocele (1.8%), 5 cases of enterocele (9.2%), 3 cases of stress incontinence (5.5%), and 5 cases of dysparonia (9.2%). Sacrospinous ligament fixation can be used as an alternative treatment to vaginal hysterectomy in aged women with medical problems and young women suffering from genital descent with infertility. The procedure has the advantage of avoiding laparatomy, facilitating other vaginal repairs needed during the same operation, preserving vaginal function and shortening the time necessary for anesthesia and surgery.
