A new modification of colpocleisis for treatment of total procidentia in old age

A new approach for treating uterine prolapse in old age is presented. Fiftten patients underwent this operation during our 5-year study. The procedure is simple and brief and can be performed, using a local anesthetic, on patients whose general condition is poor. The patients in our series had no immediate postoperative complications, and those who attended our follow-up clinic had no recurrence of the disease.
