Abstract

Contemporary understanding of the dynamic anatomy of pelvic floor support has lead us to new conservative surgery for the management uterine prolapse. The uterus itself does not play any role in the pathogenesis of uterine prolapse. Therefore, hysterectomy should not be the prime treatment, and fixing of the cervix to strong ligament such as sacrospinous ligament could give a more successful result and conservation of the uterus in young women. Other techniques, such as abdominal mesh hysteropexy or posterior intravaginal slingoplasty with conservation of the uterus, are alternative surgical options.
