Mackenrodt uterosacral double ligaments suspension
Total hysterectomy will be performed and vaginal vault will be closed with absorbable vicryl sutures The pelvis is then inspected and both uterosacral ligaments and ureters are identified. The proximal part of the mid-portion of each ligament is grasped and put under tension. In case of proximity to the ureter, a peritoneal release incision is performed to avoid kinking of the ipsilateral ureter. A Vicryl 1/0 suture is then used and passed through the proximal portion of the ligament approximately 1 cm distal to its sacral origin, in order to avoid entrapment of S3 nerve root. The suture is then passed through the mid portion of the ligament in one or two bites and secured to the posterior vaginal wall.hese steps are repeated in the contralateral ligament. Manchester procedure: Vicryl 1 suture will pass through Mackenrodt ligament and then fixed to the anterior vaginal wall. The suture is repeated on the opposite side ,so both Mackenrodt ligaments will be fixed th anterior vagina
