Laparoscopic Management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse in a Kidney Transplant Recipient

Publication date: July 2017 Source:Urology Case Reports, Volume 13 Author(s): Jean Rouffilange, Maxime Deslandes, Laurent Lopez This is a report of a laparoscopic double mesh sacrocolpopexy performed in the setting of a 73-year-old woman carrying a grafted kidney. The patient had a vaginal prolapse of the anterior and posterior floor without urinary incontinence. Despite immunosuppression due to anti-rejection treatments and the presence of kidney transplant in left iliac fossa, laparoscopic intervention with the introduction of prosthetic material was conducted. The intervention showed no major difficulty in its implementation and the postoperative course was uneventful. The long-term follow-up will confirm the tolerance of a prosthetic material.
