ABSTRACT
Vaginal prolapse, which is the herniation of the bladder, rectum, small intestine, uterus, or other intraperitoneal contents into the vaginal canal, represents a problem of growing public awareness and increasing incidence. Thus, both gynecologists and urologists are caring for an increasing number of patients suffering from symptomatic vaginal prolapse. The recent demographic trend towards the larger number of ‘baby-boomers’ entering their peri-and postmenopausal years, when incidence of genital prolapse increases, is not an unexpected phenomenon.
