Sacrospinous fixation: Review of relevant anatomy and surgical technique.
International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics 2023 September
Apical support is an important component of pelvic floor reconstruction for pelvic organ prolapse. Sacrospinous ligament fixation is a recognized procedure for apical support. Complications from sacrospinous ligament fixation include pain (buttock and leg) and bleeding. There is some debate as to the optimal location for placement of the sacrospinous fixation sutures. This review summarizes the neuroanatomy of the coccygeus sacrospinous ligament as it pertains to the sacrospinous ligament fixation procedure. An appreciation of the neuroanatomy will lead to a better understanding of methods to reduce operative complications and improve suture placement. This paper also describes a technique for the sacrospinous fixation procedure to better assist clinicians in dissecting the connective tissue off the ligament. Removing or clearing the connective tissue off the ligament will allow critical landmarks to be easily palpated and hence a more accurate placement of sutures. This in turn may reduce the risk of perioperative complications.
