Abstract

Sacrospinous ligament suspension is used for suspension of apical prolapse; however, it has a high rate of recurrence compared with sacrocolpopexy, and a high rate of pain compared with uterosacral suspension. We developed a novel surgical procedure of bilateral sacrospinous vaginal vault fixation with synthetic mesh arms. We previously demonstrated its safety, and in Supplementary video 1, we describe a step-by-step surgical approach that could be replicated. This technique restores support, creating an anatomically correct midline configuration of the vaginal axis with minimal tension. A randomized controlled trial is underway to examine durability of mesh versus suture techniques for sacrospinous ligament suspension.
