Colpocleisis was first performed in the late 1800s. The popularity has waxed and waned but it has consistently been touted as an effective and minimally invasive procedure for the frail and / or elderly patient.
However it is not without complications and while not a complex procedure, it does require a good understanding of the technique.
In this workshop we will review appropriate indications and patients plus potential problems.
Participants will then be taken through the procedure using surgical models.
