Summary
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a relentless increase condition, impacting on quality of life when affecting physical performances, emotional reactions and sleep status, giving pain or conditioning social isolation. Lifetime risk of undergoing surgery for a pelvic floor disorder is around 11%, with a reoperation rate for recurrence of 29,2% [1]. Increase in the average age of the female population, pregnancy, childbirth, obesity and genetics have all been cited as aetiological factors [2]. Way of previous hysterectomy (abdominal or vaginal) doesn’t influence the occurrence of the disorder [5]. Management of vaginal vault prolapse depends on the age at presentation, comorbidity (which may impact on the choice of surgery), desire to preserve sexual function and to obtain satisfactory aesthetic outcomes
