title: Posterior sling (infracoccygeal sacropexy): an alternative procedure for vaginal vault prolapse.
abstract: This study of 30 patients evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the posterior sling (infracoccygeal sacropexy) in the surgical treatment of vaginal vault prolapse. The patients were reevaluated 3 months, 6 months and yearly postoperatively. Coexisting preoperative symptoms of pelvic pain, urgency, nocturia and 'obstructed' micturition feeling were followed-up. There was remarkable improvement in vault prolapse and in coexisting symptoms.
