Background: Abdominal minimally invasive surgery has become increasingly prominent for the treatment of prolapse. Abdominal sacral colpopexy (ASC) is the gold standard for the treatment of advanced apical prolapse; however, alternative surgical approaches such as the abdominal lateral suspension (ALS) have been developed to improve patient outcomes. This study aims to determine whether ALS improves outcomes compared to ASC in multicompartmental prolapse patients.

- Laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) combines surgical techniques to perform laparoscopic procedures through a single incision, making it less invasive than traditional multiport laparoscopy.
- This method has gained traction in gynecology, particularly for total hysterectomy, due to its potential benefits.
- The literature review covers the indications, techniques, challenges, and advancements in single site hysterectomy, including the use of robotic assistance.
