Methods: This retrospective observational study evaluated data from 204 women who underwent the Manchester operation at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Hacettepe University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey, from January 1985 to April 2004. Results: Mean age was 34.68± 4.24 years and parity 2.47± 0.96; 85.8% of the patients were premenopausal; 176 patients (86.28% ) had grade 3 and 28 (13.72% ) had grade 2 uterine prolapse; 95.1% of the patients had associated cystoceles and 51.3% had associated rectoceles; and 81.4% had urinary incontinence. Regarding early postoperative complications, 27 patients (13.23% ) had febrile morbidity; retroperitoneal hematoma occurred in 1 patient (0.49% ); urinary retention occurred in 45 patients (22.05% ), and cervical stenosis occurred in 23 patients (11.27% ). At 1 year, 1 patient had undergone abdominal hysterectomy because of unsuccessful cervical dilatation; and a mean of 3.6 years following the operation, 8 patients (3.9% ) had undergone the tension- free vaginal tape procedure plus a vaginal hysterectomy for recurrent stress urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse. The mean satisfaction/acceptance score for the operation was 8.52 ± 2.13 (range, 2- 10). Conclusion: A high degree of acceptance/satisfaction and a low morbidity rate show the Manchester operation to be a good option for the treatment of uterine prolapse in women who wish to keep their uterus.展开更多
