During a period of 15 years, at the Hospital Central Militar, 36 operations were done to fix the vaginal cupule to sacrocyatic ligament, as therapeutic or preventive surgery; most of the fixations were together with vaginal hysterectomy by genital prolapse; and six of them were as surgical therapy of vaginal cupule prolapse. Complications were in 2.8% (one case), recidive of cupule prolapse and in 2.8% pudendal vein lesion. Long term result has been excellent, with minimal morbidity.
