PROCEDURE

Pelvic and abdominal organ suspension technique

The intervention involves a unique organ suspension technique tailored for minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries. A fragment of a Foley catheter (2 cm of a 1 Fr/Ch) is tied at the end of an absorbable 2-0 Polyglactin suture with a straight needle to create the suspension device. This suture is introduced into the pelvic cavity via an ancillary port. It's designed to penetrate organs such as the ovary, posterior peritoneum, vesico-uterine peritoneum, or bowel. Once the suture is retrieved by passing it through the abdominal wall and pulled so that the Foley segment faces the organ's surface, it's secured using a Kelly clamp. This setup eliminates the need for a knot and offers the surgeon the flexibility to adjust the suspension tension as required.
