Robotic Vaginal Hernia Repair for Recurrent Vaginal Prolapse Status Post-Radical Cystectomy with an Indiana Pouch

© 2024. The International Urogynecological Association..

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Pelvic organ prolapse following a radical cystectomy is challenging to treat and recurrence of prolapse after primary repair is common owing to compromised pelvic floor support and tissue quality. Vaginal prolapse repairs are often preferred because of concern for patients' complex intraabdominal pathological conditions. However, for those with recurrent prolapse following colpocleisis, limited definitive treatment options exist.

METHODS: This surgical video presents a 64-year-old G4P4 with a history of radical cystectomy with an Indiana Pouch for invasive urothelial carcinoma who presented with recurrent stage IV vaginal prolapse two years following colpocleisis. Owing to thin vaginal tissue, a sacrocolpopexy with vaginal mesh could not be performed, thus, the patient underwent robotic-assisted vaginal hernia repair with a polypropylene-reinforced ovine tissue matrix attached to Cooper's ligament and the levator ani muscles.

RESULTS: The surgery was free from complications and her postoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification examination revealed a leading vaginal tissue remnant at the level of the hymen. The patient reported overall improved health and quality of life following surgery and recovery on postoperative validated questionnaires.

CONCLUSIONS: Vaginal and pelvic floor hernia repair with a polypropylene-reinforced tissue matrix is a feasible definitive surgical treatment for patients with prior radical cystectomy in whom colpocleisis has failed.
