Vaginal vault prolapse: identification and surgical options

Cleve Clin J Med. 2005 Dec:72 Suppl 4:S12-9. doi: 10.3949/ccjm.72.suppl_4.s12.

Abstract

Reconstructive surgeons should be familiar with the identification and treatment of vaginal vault prolapse. Most utilized techniques can be effective in terms of suspension of the vaginal apex. New technology has allowed for the performance of vaginal-approach techniques with increasingly physiologic anatomic and functional outcomes (Figure 8).
