ABSTRACT:
A posterior vaginal retractor for vaginal surgery or procedure includes a flat plate member, a support member connected to the plate member, an arm member vertically adjustably connected to the support member, and a speculum member connected to the arm member. The plate member is positioned under the female patient's buttocks when the patient is on the operating table with legs up. The speculum member is inserted into the vagina, and the position of the speculum member is vertically adjusted to a desired fixed position by vertically moving the arm member so that the speculum member will depress the posterior wall of the vagina to facilitate a vaginal procedure or surgery.
