Several pelvic prolapses can render defecation difficulties and they are often treated with different surgical techniques. This study will evaluate a novel variation of a laparoscopic technique used to treat rectal prolapse that is modified to treat multiple pelvic prolapses. 25 women with symptoms of obstructed defecation and multiple pelvic prolapses are assessed before and after surgery with clinical examination, defecography and a questionnaire for bowel function and quality of life. Follow up was scheduled after three and twelve months and at long term (minimum ten years).
