Anatomical and functional results of McCall culdoplasty in the prevention of enteroceles and vaginal vault prolapse after vaginal hysterectomy.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of the McCall culdoplasty in the treatment of moderate hysterocele and the prevention of enterocele and vaginal vault prolapse after vaginal hysterectomy. Using a modified McCall procedure, 185 patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy for mild or moderate uterine prolapse. Pre- and post-operative assessments were carried out using the International Continence Society staging system. The 24-month follow-up showed stable 89.2% incidence of stage 0 vaginal vault prolapse (point C) and a 10% incidence of stage 1 vaginal vault prolapse that was well tolerated and did not require revision surgery. Functional analysis showed satisfactory sexual function at 24 months post-surgery for 81.2% of patients. The McCall culdoplasty did not lead to a disruption of the vaginal axis and gave excellent anatomical and functional results in maintaining support after vaginal hysterectomy, especially in sexually active patients.
