Obliterative Repair for Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Retrospective Cohort Comparing Three Techniques

This study aimed to compare the outcomes of three different obliterative surgical techniques for advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women who do not desire vaginal intercourse. The authors found that all techniques—colpocleisis (vault), colpocleisis with vaginal hysterectomy, and Le Fort colpocleisis—demonstrated high rates of both objective and subjective cure with minimal complications, although the length of hospitalization varied significantly among the procedures. These results support the use of obliterative surgery as a safe and effective treatment option for advanced POP.
