Case description

Sacrocolpopexy is a procedure to correct prolapse of the vaginal vault (top of the vagina) in women who have had a previous hysterectomy. The operation is designed to restore the vagina to its normal position and function. A variation of this surgery called sacrohysteropexy corrects prolapse of the uterus. After a hysterectomy the top of the vagina, where the neck of the womb (cervix) used to be, is called the vault. The vaginal vault can sag down, known as a vault prolapse. A laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy operation involves supporting the vaginal vault using a piece of permanent artificial mesh material.
