Laparoscopic surgery for genuine stress incontinence and vaginal vault prolapse is emerging. More controlled studies are needed to compare laparoscopic techniques with traditional open surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Urogynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery for genuine stress incontinence (GSI) and vaginal vault prolapse is developing.
  • Discussions are frequent in medical forums, but published data and controlled studies are scarce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of laparoscopic procedures for GSI and vaginal vault prolapse.
  • To highlight the need for comparative outcome data against conventional surgical methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and surgical techniques.
  • Discussion of laparoscopic approaches mimicking open abdominal procedures.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic techniques for GSI and vaginal vault prolapse are in early developmental stages.
