ABSTRACT
Prolapse of the vaginal vault is one of the most challenging conditions encountered by pelvic
surgeons. A comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy and function of female pelvic organs
is essential to achieve optimal outcome. Vaginal vault prolapse is reported to occur in 20% of all women with prolapse (1). As the life expectancy of the population increases and aware-
ness of this condition improves, a greater number of patients with this condition will be
detected.
