• Uterine decensus
• Manchester operation
• Incontinence

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, peri- and post-operative outcomes, and clinical effectiveness of the Manchester-Fothergill (MF) procedure for uterine descensus as a uterine-sparing surgery.
In this study, 49 patients underwent the MF procedure as a uterine-sparing surgery for uterine descensus during 2008-2012 in the Department of Urogynecology at Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Research and Teaching Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Medical records and follow-up data were collected from 24 of the 49 patients (48.9 %). The mean age was 49.3 +/- A 9.1 years, and parity 3.6 +/- A 1.5; 41.6 % were post-menopausal; 6 patients (25 %) had grade II, and 18 (75 %) had grade III uterine prolapse; 95.8 % had associated cystoceles, and 79.1 % had associated rectoceles; 66.6 % complained of urinary incontinence. On follow-up examination, the cervical stumps were satisfactorily situated in 23 of 24 patients, and recurrent prolapse was seen in 1 patient (4.1 %). Bladder perforation was repaired at the time of the operation in 1 patient, and one complained of post-operative urinary retention.
The MF procedure is a viable option to surgically correct uterine descent while preserving the uterus to treat recurrent prolapse with a low complication rate and low morbidity.
