ObjectiveTo evaluate modified anterior abdominal wall cervicopexy (AWC) as a less invasive (via 3-cm minilaparotomy) and more augmented (via securing posterior vaginal wall to uterosacral ligaments) technique.MethodsCase series of 30 women with Stages III and IV apical uterine prolapse assessed by the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system.ResultsThe modified AWC procedure was performed successfully for 17 cases with Stage III uterovaginal prolapse and 13 cases with Stage IV uterovaginal prolapse. The procedure was conducted safely with no operative or postoperative complications, apart from two cases with postoperative urinary retention. Operative time ranged from 45 to 70Â min. Follow-up was available for 1-3 years. Overall, 27 cases were satisfied with the procedure, and three cases developed recurrence after caesarean section due to cutting the supporting sutures.ConclusionsThe modified AWC procedure is less invasive, simple and effective for Stages III and IV uterine prolapse.
