Abstract

elvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common pathology affecting females with advancement of age. Nearly 40 % of women aged between 49 and 75 years have POP including anterior and vaginal vault prolapse (Nygaard et al., 2008). Numerous techniques have been used during the last century to treat POP, with varying success rates both for the abdominal and the vaginal route. Vaginal route for treatment of anterior POP using native tissue repair is associated with high relapse rates of up to 40 % in the long term follow up (Maher et al., 2013).
