Özet
Objective: To evaluate the anatomical results of Manchester Fothergill operation performed due to cervical elongation cases without uterine descensus and its effects on quality of life and sexual function. Materials and methods: Thirty-six women who underwent Manchester Fothergill operation for cervical elongation without uterine descensus were analyzed retrospectively. Pre- and postoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification (POP-Q) measurements, Prolapse Quality of Life (P-QoL) Questionnaire and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12 (PISQ-12) scores were collected. Results: There were significant improvements in POP-Q measurements, P-QoL Questionnaire and PISQ-12 scores postoperatively. There was no relationship between the change in POP-Q measurements and the changes in questionnaires scores. Reoperation was performed in only one patient due to anterior compartment prolapse. No serious complications were detected. Conclusion: Manchester Fothergill operation is an effective and safe surgical option in the surgical treatment of cervical elongation cases without uterine descensus. It provides anatomical improvement, increases the quality of life and improves sexual function in women.
