Laparoscopic sacral hysteropexy (SH) is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for uterovaginal prolapse in women who wish to retain the uterus. However, this procedure is limited by a steep learning curve and a long operating time. In this study, we aim to evaluate the surgical outcomes of a modified laparoscopic SH procedure using innovative methods of vaginal mesh attachment, which we hypothesized to be equally effective and time-saving.
