This report aims to describe management of benign cervical disease following laparoscopic sacrocervicopexy including successful trachelectomy performed vaginally. CASE: A 70-year-old sexually active woman presented with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Her Papanicolaou smears over several years were unremarkable, and she had a benign endocervical polyp removed in the office 3 months before surgery. She underwent an uncomplicated robotic-assisted laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy and sacrocervicopexy. She presented 8 months after surgery with persistent vaginal spotting after intercourse and was found to have a recurrent endocervical polyp. Ultimately, she underwent uncomplicated trachelectomy performed vaginally with resolution of her symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Retention of the cervix at the time of mesh-augmented abdominal prolapse repairs introduces a unique set of evaluation and management considerations for benign cervical disease. Trachelectomy performed vaginally was successful and uncomplicated in this case.
