Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy Versus POPS in the Management of Pelvic Prolapse

This is the first study comparing the laparoscopic sacropexy with Pelvic Organs Prolapse Suspension (POPS) to treat pelvic organ prolapse. This prospective randomized surgical trial is designed to test the clinical and functional effects of the two different laparoscopic procedures in terms of anatomical correction of the prolapse, post-operative and long term morbidity, rate of recurrence and subjective satisfaction of the patient evaluated by a quality of life questionnaire.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who required surgical treatment for symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse stage ≥ 2 with or without stress urinary incontinence

Exclusion Criteria:
