The goal of this randomized, non blind, one center study is to compare the efficacy of vNOTES (vaginal natural orifice transluminal surgery) and traditional vaginal operation between the two groups by determining the risk of re-operation for anterior, posterior or apical prolapse within the study period. Participants with a POP-Q (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification) of 3 or 4 and an indication for hysterectomy and prolapse repair will be selected and randomly divided in two groups. One group will be operated with standard technique for pelvic organ prolapse and in the other autologous graft will be used using vNOTES ICIQ-LUTSqol (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life Module) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire IUGA revised (PISQ-IR) will be used as a subjective measurement of operative treatment. Objective evaluation of the effect of postoperative results will be done using transperineal ultrasound before operation, 6 and 12 months after procedure. EXPECTED CONTRIBUTION: In this research we will evaluate the feasibility and surgical outcome of vaginal NOTES (vNOTES) prolapse repair using posterior rectus fascia (PREFAP- Posterior Rectus Fascia Prolapse repair)
