Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The whole surgery is performed through the vaginal route and includes the following components: Anterior vaginal mesh (anterior Prolift system) repair, Sacrospinous hysteropexy and posterior fascial plication. The anterior Prolift system is a transvaginal surgical kit designed for the treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse. It consists of a synthetic mesh graft with four arms. The graft is placed between the bladder and the anterior vaginal wall without tension and the arms retrieved through the Obturator foramen using special trocars. This surgical procedure is a 'one off' procedure.
