Why?
Hysterectomy causes: the attenuation of the cardinal/uterosacral ligament
complex when they are excised during hysterectomy
the separation of the pubocervical fascia from the rectovaginal fascia
the separation of the pubocervical fascia, rectovaginal fascia from the cardinal/ uterosacral ligament complex

recommended measure to prevent enteroecele formation. Grade A Recommendation
March 13, 2014Manila Doctors Hospital
Department of OB Gyn Postgraduate Course19
Can anything be done? Cruikshank et al (AJOG, 1999)
- Small RCT, 100 women- Comparison of 3 preventive techniques against
enterocoele formation performed during VH- 3 year follow-up
Conclusion: Mccall culdoplasty was more effective than vaginal Moschowitz procedure or peritoneal closure in preventing enterocoele formation.

Can anything be done? McCall ML (Obstet Gynecol, 1957)
- Describes a technique approximating the uterosacral ligaments using continuous sutures as high as possible to obliterate the cul de sac
- Following vaginal hysterectomy

Can anything be done? Ostrzenski A (Int J Gynaecol Obstet, 1995)
- Describe an innovation performed during abdominal hysterectomy
- 10 year study, 250 women, mean age 43
Conclusion: Good postsurgical patient satisfaction, No symptoms or signs of dysfunctional vagina, prolapse or enterocoele formation.
Level of Evidence III

Can anything be done? Ostrzenski A (Int J Gynaecol Obstet, 1995)
- Incorporating the deep layers of uterosacral ligaments with the perirectal-paravaginal fascia in posterior culdoplasty
- Cardinal ligaments and superficial layers of the USL are approximated with the latero-posterior aspect of the vagina

Can anything be done?
Green-top Guideline No. 46 4. Prevention at the time of hysterectomySuturing the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments to the vaginal
cuff at the time of hysterectomy is a recommended measure to avoid vault prolapse.
Grade B Recommendation

Department of OB Gyn Postgraduate Course24
Can anything be done? Cruikshank SH (AJOG, 1987)
- 112 patients, follow-up 7 to 42 months- Method:
Attaching the uterosacral and cardinal ligaments to the vaginal cuff
AND high circumferential obliteration of the pouch of Douglas
- Outcome: No cases of vault prolapse or enteroecele

Can anything be done?
Green-top Guideline No. 46 4. Prevention at the time of hysterectomySacrospinous fixation at the time of vaginal hysterectomy is
recommended when the vault descends to the introitus during closure.
Grade B Recommendation

Can anything be done? Cruikshank SH et al (AJOG, 1990)
- Retrospective study, 48 patients - Mean follow-up, 2 years.10 - Sacrospinous fixation at the time of vaginal hysterectomy
- Outcomes: One vault prolapse20 women with right buttock pain up to 6 weeks post op 5 women, developed anterior vaginal wall prolapse
Level of Evidence III

Can anything be done? Colombo et al (AJOG 1998)
− Retrospective study, 124 women, follow-up 4 years − Objective: Sacrospinous fixation versus McCall’s culdoplasty
at the time vaginal hysterectomy in advance uterovaginal prolapse
− Outcomes: No significant difference in the incidence of vaginal vault
prolapse Sacrospinous fixation: longer to perform, associated with
significantly more blood loss, significant development of Grade 2 or 3 anterior vaginal wall prolapse
