new sling operation for the treatment of genital prolapse in young females

ABSTRACT

A review of 26 cases of genital prolapse in women less than 35 years of age is presented. Twenty [77%] of the women were less than 30 years of age and six [23%] were less than 25 years. All the patients had primary symptomatic prolapse and five [19%] of them were unmarried. The new abdominal sling operation was performed on all of them. In the beginning, sling was made from the rectus abdominis sheath and from January 1992 [for the last 10 cases] only mersilene mesh or tape was used as a sling to avoid recurrence of genital prolapse
