Abstract
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common gynecologic condition, with increasing number of women electing for surgical intervention over conservative management with pessaries and pelvic floor physical therapy. Over the past decade, minimally invasive techniques using laparoscopic and vaginal approaches have largely replaced open abdominal surgery. However, this time period has also seen the challenges and limitations of using synthetic mesh materials in urogynecologic procedures. This publication provides a background for the most common and successful surgical techniques to treat pelvic organ prolapse and briefly reviews key anatomy and surgical steps. This review contains 3 figures, 3 tables, and 101 references. Key words: anterior colporrhaphy, colpocleisis, hysteropexy, mesh, pelvic organ prolapse, perineorrhaphy, posterior colporrhaphy, sacrocervicopexy, sacrocolpopexy, sacrospinous ligament suspension, uterosacral ligament suspension
