We previously developed a standardized surgical method to replace the uterosacral-ligaments in patients with genital prolapse. These cervicosacropexy (CESA) or vaginosacropexy (VASA) operations were effective in treating genital prolapse and urinary incontinence.

Material and Methods: Patients with UUI, OAB, MUI, and TI were eligible for the study and an informed consent was obtained. Patients with genital prolapse POP-Q stage>I were excluded. The USLs in all the patients were replaced by standardized polyvinylidene fluoride structures by CESA/VASA. If patients remained incon.. View More»
