Objective: To compare laparoscopic pectopexy with the standard laparoscopic sacropexy in women with symptomatic apical prolapse.

Material And Methods: An interim analysis of an exploratory randomized controlled trial with the primary objective of comparing mesh fixation time and secondary objectives were to compare total operating time, blood loss, and intra-operative and post-operative complications.
