Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Endopelvic fascia contributes to the support of the uterus and vagina. There is increasing evidence that alteration in the fascial extracellular matrix may lead to weakening of the fascia and development of prolapse. Other workers have identified discrete defects in endopelvic fascia that can be rectified to cure prolapse. This paper reviews fascial defects and their repair.
