Abstract
Genital prolapse is a disorder of pelvic support and is one of the most frequent disorders encountered in our gynaecological practice. Our social and cultural background predisposes to this condition to occur at an age which is reported to be earlier than any part of the world. Over a period of 4 years, 1986-1989, 17 cases were studied in whom the Sleeve Excision anastomosis operation was carried out, either at the Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital, Sion, Bombay, India or in some other hospital. All these patients were either admitted in active labour or as cases of abortions or were being treated for infertility. The incidence of full-term normal vaginal delivery in our study was 66.6% and the incidence of Caesarean section was 8.3%. There was 1 case of posterior wall rupture following previous sleeve excision anastomosis operation. The recurrence rate of prolapse in our series was only 7.7%. The Sleeve excision anastomosis operation has given excellent anatomical and obstetric results in our study and future multicentric trials will be necessary to study its effect on subsequent fertility to arrive at any final conclusion.
