Evaluation of three different surgical approaches in repairing paravaginal support defects: a comparative trial.

Objectives: Paravaginal defects have been shown to account for 60-80% of anterior compartment prolapse and its repair offers the chance of a more effective cure of such defect. There is no good evidence to suggest the superiority of a particular route of paravaginal repair. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of abdominal (APVR), vaginal (VPVR) and laparoscopic (LPVR) approaches in the repair of such defects.
