R. Rajabally et al., LAPAROSCOPIC VENTROFIXATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF GENITAL PROLAPSE - AN INEFFECTIVE AND INAPPROPRIATE PROCEDURE, Journal of gynecologic surgery, 13(3), 1997, pp. 131-133
Ventrofixation is an old gynecological surgical procedure which is ver
y rarely employed nowadays as it has proved to be almost useless in th
e treatment of genital prolapse, On the other hand, the scope of proce
dures performed by laparoscopy is rapidly expanding and there is growi
ng enthusiasm for this surgical route, Our report describes a case whe
re treatment of genital prolapse by laparoscopic ventrofixation ended
in total failure, We strongly support the view that although appealing
and in spite of its numerous advantages, laparoscopic surgery should
not be used to perform inadequate interventions.
