Abstract

Numerous surgical procedures have been described for the management of pelvic organ prolapse. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy has evolved from classical abdominal sacrocolpopexy and provides the potential to combine the success rate of an abdominal approach with faster recovery time associated with a minimally invasive technique. Pelvic organ support was assessed objectively using the pelvic organ prolapse quantification scale (POP-Q). Tissue dissection and mesh placement are facilitated by magnification of the operating field using laparoscopic approach. Our results confirm previous findings that laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is a safe and efficacious surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse. It provides excellent support and good functional outcome with overall improvement in sexual function.
