Abstract: Transvaginal sacrospinous colpopexy is a surgical technique applied to suspend the vaginal vault from the sacrospinous ligament to prevent vaginal vault prolapse. We herein present our experience in applying this technique in twenty women with either marked uterovaginal prolapsed or vault prolapsed. All patients were followed up over a six month period. We met with no intraoperative complications during the procedure. Postoperative complications such as fever (4.8%), urinary tract infections (23.9%), lower back and gluteal pain (14.3%) and urinary retention (14.3%) were recorded. None of our patients returned with recurrence of prolapsed during the flow up period of six months. Sacrospinous colpopexy is a simple, effective and safe technique that can be performed either by itself or as an adjunct to vaginal hysterectomy.
