Multicenter Study on the Correction of Prolapse Via Laparoscopy

Multicenter Study on the Correction of Prolapse Via Laparoscopy

In the laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) technique, the fixation of the mesh as a prosthetic element for correcting anterior apical vaginal prolapse at the level of the dome or uterus can offer anatomical and functional results that are not inferior to those of the conventional surgical technique, minimize possible intraoperative complications and facilitate the specific learning curve of sacropexy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with Stage II- IV primary or recurrent prolapse affecting the anterior or middle vaginal compartment with or without minimal posterior defect (Stage I) according to the POP-Q.

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of abdominal prolapse reconstructive surgery.
• History of prolapse reconstructive surgery with vaginal meshes.
• Stage I according to the POP-Q classification or asymptomatic prolapse.
• Medical contraindication for general anaesthesia.
• Patient preference for vaginal surgical treatment.
• Patient does not wish to participate in the study.
