Elastic Fiber System Changes in the Endopelvic Fascia of a Young Patient with Uterine Prolapse - A Case Report - Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia
A case report of a young virgin patient with a second-degree uterine prolapse is presented. During the corrective surgery (Gillian surgery) samples of the ligaments and the pelvic fascia were obtained to evaluate the elastic fiber system. There were structural changes of the elastic fibers similar to ageing process, which promotes connective tissue weakness inducing a pelvic support defect.
