Laparoscopic-Assisted Percutaneous Vaginal Tape Vault Suspension (Dramatic Health)
Dr. Raymond Rackley, Professor of Urology, Cleveland Clinic, describes his technique for repair of
pelvic organ prolapse surgery - The Laparoscopic-Assisted Percutaneous Vaginal Tape Vault Suspension:
Minimally-Invasive Prolapse Repair with Post-Hysterectomy and Uterine-Sparing Options. A
pneumoperitoneum is created and laparoscopy is performed. The vaginal cuff is dissected free. A
stamey needle faciliates tape (polypropylene) passage. The tape is secured to the cuff. The tape is
attached to the sacral promontory, completing the abdominal sacral colpopexy. The tape is
retroperitonealized.
