Sacrocolpopexy
Sacrocolpopexy is offered to patients with symptomatic prolapse (≥stage II) of the vaginal apex (vault or cervix). The procedure involves dissection of the promontory and the vaginal vault, suturing of two meshes to the anterior and posterior aspect of the vagina using minimally three rows of sutures on each side, and one row at the apex. Thereafter the mesh is fixed with staples to the promontory and the peritoneum closed, with staples and a running suture.
