Summary

This study tested a new keyhole surgery (laparoscopic vaginorectopexy) in 25 women with multiple pelvic organ prolapses causing bowel problems. Researchers checked how well the surgery worked by looking at prolapse recurrence, bowel function, and quality of life up to 12 months after surgery, with a long-term follow-up planned at 10 years. The goal is to see if this single procedure can effectively treat several prolapses at once.
