Pelvic pain and dyspareunia were reproduced by palpation of the retroverted uterus. Ultrasonographies were performed to confirm initial findings and to rule out any ovarian or uterine abnormalities. Orthopedic and psychological consultations were done to rule out any orthopedic disorders or non\u2010organic causes of their problem.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> Of the twenty\u2010five patients treated, 20 patients were treated using Webster\u2010Baldy method and five patients were treated using Franke's method, all the patients (100%) experienced great improvement 6 weeks after the operation. After 6 months, 16 patients (80%) with the Webster\u2010Baldy method and four patients (80%) with the Franke's method had complete relief from pelvic pain and dyspareunia. The remaining four patients (20%) with the former method and one patient (20%) with the latter method complained of mild abdominal discomfort. After 6 months to 2 years of follow\u2010up, 17 patients with Webster\u2010Baldy method and five patients with Franke's method (88%) had improved sexual life and the remaining three patients were lost to follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusion.<\/jats:italic> When dyspareunia and pelvic pain are caused by a retroverted method, we believe uterine suspension using different procedures will certainly relieve this problem. We have presented and have chosen these two procedures mainly due to their simplicity and the almost nil possibility of bowel intussusception into the anterior cul\u2010de\u2010sac as compared to other methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00016349609054674","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,22]],"date-time":"2007-11-22T00:48:57Z","timestamp":1195692537000},"page":"575-578","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Preliminary experience in pelviscopic uterine suspension using Webster\u2010Baldy and Franke's method"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Lim\u2010Woh","family":"Koh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francisco C.","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ming\u2010Huo","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"59","article-title":"The rise and fall of suspension operations for uterine retrodisplacement","volume":"96","author":"Fluhman C.
