Vaginal vault suspension.
A laparoscopic approach to significant pelvic relaxation and vault prolapse, including technical aspects of the procedures involved and an anatomic rationale for the laparoscopic approach, are described. The results demonstrate good clinical outcomes in addition to low intraoperative and post operative morbidity. It is concluded that the laparoscopic approach to vault support has a superior result when compared to open vaginal alternatives.
