ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the related pelvic floor anatomy to the pathological vaginal relaxation and key points of the vaginal tightening surgery.Methods The vaginal tightening surgery was performed in 24 cases of vaginal relaxation.The key points of this operation included levator ani muscle suturation and perineal body reconstruction,and anal sphincter reconstruction as in case of the muscle injury grade Ⅲ.Results The degree of levator ani muscle separation was positively correlated with that of vaginal relaxation in all the 24 cases.18 cases were followed up from 6 months to 2 years,and had no complications of rectovaginal fistula and infections.The average level of perineal body was increased from 2.3 cm to 3.5 cm.Vaginal length of 6 cm from vaginal orifice was proper with good tightness.The patients felt strong anal contraction,enhanced ability of vaginal tightening and improved quality of sex life.There were no more infections of genitourinary tract.Conclusions Through levator ani muscle suturation and perineal body reconstruction,it can get the vaginal tightening effect.
