Objective: Precise data are lacking concerning laparoscopic sacropexy in the elderly population. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes and complications associated with laparoscopic sacropexy (colpopexy or hysteropexy) in women aged under 70 and 70 or over.
Study Design: Retrospective review of data on patients who underwent laparoscopic sacropexy in two tertiary centers. Peri- and postoperative complications were recorded and described using the IUGA classification. Surgery was considered successful if the patient was symptomatically satisfied or very satisfied and if the POP-Q (Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification) stage score at the follow-up visit was below stage 2 for all compartments.
Results: Among the 191 women studied, 47 (24.6%) were aged 70 or more. According to the ICS/IUGA classification of POP complications, perioperative and postoperative complication rates were similar in the older versus younger groups (bladder injuries (0 vs. 1.39%, p=1) (4A T1 S2), rectal injuries (0% vs. 0.69%, p=1) (5BT1S5), vaginal injuries (2.13% vs. 0%, p=0.246) (2A T1 S1)). No laparotomy conversion was required in either group. At two months of follow-up, the success rate was 97.9% and 95.1% in the older and younger groups, respectively (p=0.68). At 24 months of follow-up, the overall reoperation rate was 12.8% for the older group versus 11.8% in the younger group (p=0.80).
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that laparoscopic sacropexy is a valid option in elderly women presenting with genital prolapse.

Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition that can affect up to 30% of women over the age of 50. For a long time, open abdominal and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP) have been considered the gold standard in the treatment of apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Promontory dissection may expose patients to potential life-threatening intraoperative vascular injuries, as well as damage to sacral roots or the hypogastric nerve.

Aim: Laparoscopic hysteropexy is a complicated procedure that requires specialized surgical skills, including precise dissection and suturing. The aim is to describe the technical considerations for performing a new, feasible, and minimally invasive technique to correct apical and concurrent apical and anterior vaginal wall defects.
Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 consecutive women who underwent surgery for stage ≥3 uterovaginal prolapse.

Article Synopsis
- The average lifespan has increased due to better quality of life, resulting in a healthy aging population, yet conditions like pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can significantly diminish that quality of life.
- This study reviews various surgical techniques for treating POP, evaluates ten international guidelines, and provides a user-friendly algorithm for selecting the best therapy for individual cases.
- Key findings indicate that anterior colporrhaphy is preferred for anterior abnormalities, most guidelines suggest mesh for recurrent cases, and sacrocolpopexy is a commonly accepted approach for apical deformities, with very few guidelines allowing obliteration techniques.

Background: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) is the gold standard for the treatment of apical prolapse, although dissection of the promontory may be challenging. Laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) with mesh is an alternative technique for apical repair with similar anatomical and functional outcomes, according to recent studies. The purpose of this study was to compare these operative techniques.
