[UTEROSACRAL VERSUS SACROSPINOUS LIGAMENT FIXATION FOLLOWING VAGINAL HYSTERECTOMY FOR THE TREATMENT OF ADVANCED PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE].

Introduction: Transvaginal repair of advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) often involves vaginal hysterectomy (VH) followed by fixation of the vaginal vault to either the sacrospinous or the uterosacral ligaments. To date, only a few studies have compared the results of these two vaginal vault fixation techniques.

Objectives: To compare short and medium-term results and complications of sacrospinous versus high uterosacral ligament fixation of the vaginal vault after vaginal hysterectomy for the treatment of advanced POP.
