Laparoscopic ventral mesh uterorectopexy (VMUR) for simultaneously treating rectal prolapse and uterine prolapse: A minimally invasive approach with a single mesh.

The article discusses a minimally invasive surgical technique called laparoscopic ventral mesh uterorectopexy (VMUR) that aims to simultaneously treat rectal prolapse and uterine prolapse using a single mesh. The procedure combines elements of laparoscopic sacral hysteropexy and ventral mesh rectopexy to address multiple organ prolapses in one surgery. The technique has shown promising results in five cases, with no observed postoperative complications or recurrence within a one-year follow-up period. The authors suggest further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods to validate the effectiveness of this surgical approach. [Extracted from the article]
