ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) was first described by Nezhat et al. in 1994 although Wattiez et al. claim to have first performed this procedure in 1991 ( 22 , 23 ). The proposed advantages of the LSC over the ASC include the avoidance of a major laparotomy incision, less postoperative pain, shorter time in hospital, and a quicker return to normal activities. The laparoscopic approach provides the surgeon with an enhanced view of the pelvic and intra-abdominal anatomy compared to the abdominal approach.
