Rectus fascia colpopexy in posthysterectomy vaginal prolapse: analysis of 18 cases.

The great variety of techniques described indicates that there is disagreement about the ideal route or technique to be used. The authors present their experience in surgical correction using colpopexy with rectus abdominal muscle fascia.
