A new approach for treating uterine prolapse in old age is presented. Fifteen patients underwent this operation during our 5‐year study. The procedure is simple and brief and can be performed, using a local anesthetic, on patients whose general condition is poor. The patients in our series had no immediate postoperative complications, and those who attended our follow‐up clinic had no recurrence of the disease.
