[Pelviscopic sacropexy in treatment of vaginal prolapse]

Although transabdominal sacropexy to correct vaginal prolapse is technically simple and yields good results, a minimal invasive procedure is desirable in the treatment of this benign condition. We therefore developed a laparoscopic sacropexy technique and were able to apply this operation successfully. Pelviscopic sacropexy does not differ greatly in principle from the intraabdominal approach; however, the techniques used in the individual steps must be adapted to pelviscopic methods.
