Infectious spondylodiscitis after a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: About one case; [Spondylodiscite après promontofixation cœlioscopique : à propos d'un cas]

One case of spondylodiscitis, over a period of 18 months after a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with suture, was reported. After a needle aspiration of the disco-vertebral space retrieving Pseudomonas, adapted antibiotic treatment and immobilization permit favorable evolution. The clinical, biological and imaging with MRI favorable evolution, prompted not to disassemble the prosthetic material, however this option should be discussed at the outset when large abscess or vaginal fistula or unfavorable evolution with medical treatment. Fixation promontory must interest the prevertebral ligament and not the disc; using suture should be preferred to staples. © 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
