Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of abdominal sacral colpopexy and sacrospinous ligament suspension with the use of vaginal mesh for apical prolapse.
Method: This retrospective study was conducted from 2005 to 2012 and included 89 women with apical prolapse who underwent surgery. Assessments included pre- and postoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stage. Rates of objective cure and immediate/late complications were compared.
Results: In total, 41 of the 89 women underwent sacrospinous ligament suspension, and 48 of the women underwent abdominal sacral colpopexy. A total of 40.4% of the women had vault prolapse (p=0.9361). Most of them had no complications (93.2%) (p=0.9418). Approximately 30% of the women had late complications; local pain was the main symptom and was found only in women who underwent the abdominal procedure (25.6%) (p=0.001). Only the women who were submitted to the vaginal procedure had mesh exposure (18.4%). The objective success rate and the rate of anterior vaginal prolapse (p=0.2970) were similar for both techniques.
Conclusion: Sacrospinous ligament suspension was as effective and had a similar objective success rate as abdominal sacral colpopexy for the treatment of apical prolapse. Sacrospinous ligament suspension performed with the use of vaginal mesh in the anterior compartment was effective in preventing anterior vaginal prolapse after surgery.

Objectives: To evaluate the short-term safety and efficacy of vaginal hysterectomy with cervical preservation in patients with genital prolapse stages II to IV.
Materials And Methods: This is a descriptive case series study. It included women with genital prolapse stages II to IV, indicated for vaginal hysterectomy, with negative cervicovaginal cytology for malignancy, who underwent subtotal vaginal hysterectomy with suspension of the cervical stump to the sacrospinous ligament between June 1 and December 31, 2023, at a high-complexity general clinic.

Objective: This study was designed to assess the complications raised in different suture-passing techniques when fixating the Sacrospinous ligament for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Search Strategy: We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Sciences, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, and performed a systematic review meta-analysis to assess complications when implementing different suture passings in fixating the sacrospinous ligament.
Selection Criteria: The inclusion and exclusion criteria for literature screening were predetermined to allow for a more rigorous process.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Sacrospinous hysteropexy is one of the preeminent uterus-preserving surgical techniques for treating pelvic organ prolapse supported by level one evidence. As training on models greatly improves surgical skills and outcomes, we developed a simple and inexpensive model to simulate sacrospinous hysteropexy.
Methods: A step-by-step instruction for the production of the model is available to be viewed online.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition that significantly impairs a woman's quality of life. Currently a range of interventions from non-surgical to surgical options exist, all with their unique advantages and disadvantages. Among these, the EnPlace system stands out as a truly minimally invasive transvaginal percutaneous device designed to repair apical POP by bilaterally anchoring sutures to the sacrospinous ligaments.
