OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate local anesthesia with sedation for vaginal surgery for @entity1442 . STUDY DESIGN: Five sacrospinous ligament suspensions and 12 vaginal @entity154 repairs performed under local anesthesia in 2004 were identified. Medical records and @entity1 satisfaction questionnaire were reviewed. @entity1 demographics, degree of prolapse, duration of surgery, hospital stay, and responses to an anesthesia satisfaction questionnaires were recorded. RESULTS: All repairs incorporated placement of dermal allograft. Concomitant procedures included: 6 tension-free vaginal tape (TVTs), 12 posterior and 4 enterocele repairs. Mean @entity1 age was 66.1 years. All @entity1 had prolapse of apex or anterior wall > or = grade 3. Mean OR time was 132 minutes. Average hospital stay was 1.2 days. No @entity1 was converted to general anesthesia. All 17 @entity1 were "very satisfied" with their surgical experience.
