The incidence of prolapse of the neovagina after male‐to‐female gender reassignment surgery is unknown. We present the first case of laparoscopic total pelvic floor repair in a male‐to‐female transsexual. This surgical procedure combined an understanding of the anatomy of the male pelvis with the principles of laparoscopic pelvic floor repair in the XX female.
