Modified Lefort partial colpocleisis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and hypothesis

We present a surgical video that describes the technical considerations for performing a modified LeFort partial colpocleisis.

Methods

Hydro-dissection with diluted pituitrin was performed before the creation of anterior and posterior mid-line incisions through which lateral flaps were created bilaterally to expose the bladder and rectum fascia. Several purse-string sutures were placed to push the bladder and rectum back to their normal positions and reinforce the fascia under the vaginal wall. After removing the excess part of the vaginal wall, the lateral margins were re-approximated to create lateral channels that were wide enough to fit one finger. Perineoplasty was then performed to reduce the length of the genital hiatus.
