Old meets new: vNOTES retroperitoneal promontory fixation in conjunction with the uterus preserving Manchester procedure^✰,✰✰.

Abstract

<h4>Introduction and hypothesis</h4>The Manchester procedure is a classic native tissue prolapse technique with low recurrence and low complication rate. vNOTES (vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery) is a vaginal approach to enter the intra or retroperitoneal space, with the guidance of endoscopic visualization. Different studies have shown women to prefer uterus-preserving correction of prolapse over hysterectomy, as they worry about complications, impact on sexual function and self- sense. At the same time, an increasing caution and awareness of mesh related complications has evolved, giving a need for the development of additional non-mesh uterus preserving surgical techniques for prolapse. The aim with the video is to show a new surgical technique for prolapse, combining the Manchester procedure with vNOTES retroperitoneal non-mesh promontory hysteropexy.
