As this problem magnifi es, the need for surgical repair is increasing relatively. The main goals of surgical repair for POP include: no anatomic prolapse, no functional symptoms, patient satisfaction and avoidance of complications, goals that cannot always be fully achieved. The decision for the type of surgery depends of various factors such as patient characteristics and prolapsed compartment but also by the surgeon expertise. The laparoscopic approach is already the gold standard procedure for many urologic procedures and can also be used for the treatment of POP and stress urinary incontinence. Herein, we review the literature about the available data concerning laparoscopic surgery techniques for treating POP.展开更多
