Conclusion
The laparoscopic sacral colpopexy using Mersilene mesh effectively supported the vaginal apex in a patient with complete vaginal vault prolapse.
Supporting Evidence

- The operative time was one hour and fifty-two minutes with an estimated blood loss of 50 ml.
Takeaway
Doctors can use a special technique to fix a woman's vagina when it falls out, and it can be done with small cuts instead of big ones.
Methodology
The procedure involved laparoscopic placement of Mersilene mesh to support the vaginal apex in a patient with vaginal vault prolapse.
Limitations
The study is based on a single case report, and larger studies are needed to confirm the technique's effectiveness and safety.
Participant Demographics
