title: Treatment of uterine and vaginal prolapse.
abstract: As stated earlier, we as gynecologic surgeons are going to see more of these problems as we experience the increased longevity of our patients. With the patients best interest in mind, it is suggested that one inexperienced in the performance of the sacrospinous ligament suspension should serve a tutorial with one who had considerable experience with this procedure. Contrariwise, the colpectomy followed by a total colpocleisis is so straightforward that my teaching is, "See one; do one; teach one!"
