Outcome of Manchester/Fothergill repair

ABSTRACT

During last twelve years more than 100 cases of Manchester repair have been performed with a success rate of 80%. But here a review of only 50 cases of Manchester repair is presented, performed during the year 1985-89, because these cases were followed regularly and thoroughly. The results of these cases are very encouraging specially regarding relief of symptoms, subsequent conception and parturition and very low recurrence rate. Manchester repair is not liked by many young Gynaecologists because of certain disadvantages and difficult technique. Therefore, it is not done so frequently now a days, as it was done previously, but I have found it very advantageous in selected cases
