Abstract
Anterior colporrhaphy is a common operation in gynecologic surgery. Although originally employed for stress incontinence alone, retropubic procedures are currently used to correct stress incontinence. In modern gynecologic surgery anterior colporrhaphy is performed primarily for prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall and secondarily for stress incontinence.
