Abstract

The pelvi-perineal prolapse (PPP), which is a relatively well defined anatomo-clinical and surgical entity, involves a complex etiology and pathogeny. The relatively rapid appearance of PPP after subtotal hysterectomy without the suspension of the vaginal stump and perineal reconstruction has already been substantiated. This study refers to a similar case, where it was necessary to apply some non-typical surgical technics (cervical stump extirpation, colpoligamentopexy with 4 non-resorbable threads at the Cooper ligaments and perineal reconstruction), with the aim of vaginal suspension, at a menopausal patient with PPP of 3rd degree, stress urinary incontinence, ulcerating remaining cervix and cystorectocele, installed at 2 years after the inter-annexal subtotal hysterectomy.
