Background: Treatment of total genital prolapse in elderly patients is still controversial in terms of postoperative objective and subjective results.
Aim: The present study aimed to compare the long-term objective and subjective cure rates of sacrospinous ligament fixation and Le Fort operation for treatment of total genital prolapse.
Patients And Methods: Patients over the age of 60 with stage 3 or 4 pelvic organ prolapse that presented to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clinic of the Faculty of Medicine of *** University. The study sample consisted of 17 patients that underwent Le Fort operation and 29 patients that underwent sacrospinous ligament fixation. Data on duration of operation, intraoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and differences between preoperative and postoperative estimated blood loss, postoperative complications, and relapse in the long term were obtained. Questionnaires exploring quality of life, incontinence, and pelvic floor disorders were applied to the patients.
Results: As subjective cure rates, postoperative patient satisfaction (P = 0.001), regret rate (P = 0.038) and recommendation rate (P = 0.044), as well as postoperative questionnaire results, Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire and SF36 were found to be significantly better in the Le Fort group (respectively P = 0.039 and 0.042). As objective cure rates, there was no difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative cystocele, rectocele, and cystorectocele (P = 0.955) and postoperative recurrence of prolapse beyond the hymen (P: 0.893). Duration of operation and duration of hospital stay were found to be significantly shorter in the Le Fort group (respectively P = 0.032 and 0.012).
Conclusion: Le Fort operation could be the intervention of choice in sexually inactive elderly patients with stage 3 or 4 pelvic organ prolapse.

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.
