Vaginal apical support: cornerstone of pelvic reconstructive surgery.
Proper support of the vaginal apex is necessary to ensure successful reconstruction of pelvic prolapse. The modified McCall culdeplasty provides excellent vaginal apical support while maintaining a physiologic vaginal axis. This technique may be used transabdominally, transvaginally, or laparoscopically.
