title: [Laparoscopic treatment of genital prolapse: lateral utero-vaginal suspension with 2 meshes. Results of a series of 47 patients].
abstract: We report our experience with a new technique to treat genital prolapse: the laparoscopic lateral suspension with two meshes. This is a prospective longitudinal study of 47 women with genital prolapse. With a mean follow-up of 15.2 +/- 10 months (1-39), the anatomical result was perfect in 78.7% of the cases (37 patients). From the functional point of view, 89.3% were satisfied (42 patients). These good preliminary results need to be confirmed by other extensive studies.
