Brief Summary
Introduction and Hypothesis: Vaginally assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (VALS), which is a combined surgical approach where a vaginal hysterectomy is initially performed, followed by transvaginal placement of synthetic mesh and laparoscopic suspension, can be an alternative to overcome the dissection, suturing limitations of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. The aim of this study was to compare the middle term anatomic outcomes, complication rates, and operative times of patients with uterovaginal prolapse undergoing VALS with those of women undergoing abdominal sacrocolpopexy. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study that evaluates operation times, anesthesia times, estimated blood loss, middle term outcomes, perioperative and postoperative complications. We compared the results of 47 women who had the VALS to that of 32 abdominal sacrocolpopexy.

Interventions
The VALS procedure consists of two steps. First, vaginal hysterectomy or laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy performed, anterior vaginal wall dissected up to bladder neck starting from initial vaginal incision, posterior vaginal wall dissected from rectum starting from initial vaginal incision up to distal third of posterior vaginal wall.The free arms of fixed meshes are introduced to the peritoneal cavity and the vaginal vault is closed with absorbable polyglactin suture. laparoscopy phase was performed with one intraumbilical (10 mm), 3 lateral abdominal (5 mm) trocars. Two mesh strips fixated to anterior longitudinal ligament of the sacrum with two separate no: 1 polypropylene sutures without tension. AS was performed via Pfannenstiel incision after total or subtotal abdominal hysterectomy
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- \- Women suffering from prolapse and who desired surgical correction of their prolapse were included to trial.
You may not qualify if:
- \- Fertile women who have not completed their family and women with previous POP surgery, POP stage ≤ 2 and women who prefer conservative management or uterus sparing surgery were excluded from the study.
