Abstract

A 55-yr-old woman presents with significant apical and anterior vaginal wall prolapse. She had a hysterectomy 5 yr earlier and a cystocele and rectocele repair and uterosacral vault suspension 2 yr ago. Currently, she is bothered by the prolapse, has difficulty voiding, and has a postvoid residual (PVR) of 200 cc. She does not note any incontinence. She is not interested in a pessary.
