UPLIFT Procedure: Retroverted Uterus

James E. Carter, MD, PhD.
Women's Health Center of South Orange County
Mission Viejo, CA.

Patient History

A 31-year-old woman, gravida 1 and parous 1, experienced severe pain with intercourse. The pain was reproduced during a physical exam with pressure on the cervix.

Diagnostic Laparoscopy

Laparoscopic examination revealed a retroverted uterus with no evidence of endometriosis.

Procedure

The round ligaments were invested with a non-absorbable suture and fixed to the lateral abdominal fascia to form secure fixation points. Movement of the cervix failed to reproduce the pain that was previously experienced.

Clinical Results

Discomfort with intercourse ceased, and movement of the cervix failed to reproduce the pain that was previously experienced.
