Laparoscopic and needle colposuspension.
Laparoscopic colposuspension can produce a similar anatomical result to open colposuspension. The procedure does, however, require additional laparoscopic surgical skills which take time to learn. Whether it is worth investing this time will only be known when a longer-term follow-up is reported by surgeons who have considerable experience with the technique.
