The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra. 1  Infection of the bladder (cystitis). This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 2  Infection of the urethra (urethritis).
Vaginal vault prolapse: This type of prolapse may occur following a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). Because the ligaments surrounding the uterus provides support for the top of the vagina, this condition is common after a hysterectomy. In vaginal vault prolapse, the top of the vagina gradually falls toward the vaginal opening. This may cause the walls of the vagina to weaken as well.
Preventing vaginal vault prolapse by supporting the vaginal cuff is an essential part of hysterectomy, whether abdominal or vaginal. The incidence of posthysterectomy vaginal prolapse varies from 0.2% to 43%. , Preventing complications is a sine qua non in surgery.f these supporting structures are not frail or attenuated, the pedicles are sutured to the vaginal membrane (Fig. 1). By securing the pedicles to the lateral angles of the vagina, the vault is supported and the lateral angles of the vaginal cuff are readily sutured.
