title: Laparoscopic surgery for enterocele, vaginal apex prolapse and rectocele.
abstract: Laparoscopy has been applied to all aspects of gynecologic surgery, but few investigators have reported the repair of vaginal apex prolapse, enterocele and rectocele via the laparoscopic route. This article reviews the indications, anatomy, operative technique, clinical results and complications of laparoscopic culdeplasty, enterocele repair, posterior repair, sacral colpopexy and vaginal vault-uterosacral ligament suspension.
