Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) has been reported to achieve lower recurrence rates, shorter recovery time, and less dyspareunia. However, as a pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery, LSC is problematic because it requires specific techniques and it takes a comparatively longer operative time. In this study, we present our surgical techniques of LSC and their effectiveness for shortening operative times and raising safety.
