Vaginal Vault Prolapse Surgical Treatment

Plain-language summary

Since apical support is the mainstay of vaginal cuff restoration, sacrocolpopexy is still accepted as the gold standard technique in vaginal vault prolapse (VVP). The increased risk of surgical morbidity in the abdominal approach has prompted the interest in minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) using mesh is an efficient alternative technique for apical support. In addition, vaginal approaches have been used in cuff prolapsus surgery for many years. Uterosacral ligaments are strong native tissues used in cuff surgery and apical support. In recent years, Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (VNOTES) has offered advantages particularly complications related to the ureter over the traditional transvaginal uterosacral ligament suspension in cuff restoration.
