Surgery for Anterior Compartment Vaginal Prolapse: Suture-Based Repair

Native tissue anterior compartment prolapse repair remains an important surgical procedure for pelvic prolapse. Native tissue repair has been well-studied and is successful in relieving vaginal bulge symptoms and reducing prolapse within the vagina. Native tissue cystocele repair has been performed safely since the advent to modern vaginal surgery for prolapse. Reoperation rates are low and the contribution of apical support in the durability of vaginal wall defect repair surgery has been well-established. Native tissue cystocele repair addresses symptom relief for women, and should continue to be a part of pelvic floor reconstructive surgery.
