Abstract
To describe an endoscopic technique which simplifies the transvaginal sacrospinous colpopexy operation for vault prolapse.
Insertion of polydioxanone sutures was carried out under direct endoscopic visualization.
The introduction of this new technique has changed the difficult blind step of the operation into a directly visualized endoscopic procedure and has decreased the likelihood of complications, especially injury to pudendal nerve and vessels and postoperative buttock pain. This could allow the majority of the gynaecologists to safely perform the operation.
