Steckel Operation

Steckel's operation (W. Stoeckel, 1871-1961) is an operation proposed by the German gynecologist Wilhelm Steckel for the treatment of uterine and vaginal prolapse.

The Steckel procedure is a surgical procedure on the uterus and vagina in which diseased tissue is removed and a new vagina is created using tissue grafts. This operation is one of the most common operations in gynecology.

The Steckel operation has several options, which differ from each other depending on the degree of uterine prolapse. In some cases, Steckel surgery is performed in conjunction with other surgeries, such as removal of an ovarian cyst or removal of uterine fibroids.

As a result of the Steckel operation, the normal position of the uterus is restored, the size of the vagina is reduced and the symptoms of prolapse are eliminated. However, like any surgery, Steckel surgery may have certain risks, such as bleeding, infection, damage to internal organs and other complications.

Thus, Steckel surgery is an effective method for treating uterine prolapse, but requires careful preparation and professional performance.

Steckl (Steckel) operation is a surgical method of treating genital prolapse in women (prolapse of the anterior wall of the vagina and uterus), in which the affected tissues are fixed in normal anatomical positions. First proposed by K. Stoeckle in 1891. Developed by A. Mullins and F. Fasbeger, who improved the original operation, giving it the appearance of “rubber band repairs.” "). Modified methods have been developed by C. C. Wallich, R. Frängenheim, and G. Gebel
