    Abstract:
    This is a review article about the colposacropexy and the colpopromontoriopexy in the treatment of vaginal prolapse. We reviewed the literature through the eyes of a urologist dealing with genuine stress incontinence. The treatment of genuine stress incontinence without sphincterdeficiency consists in the correction of the anterior compartment prolapse. Preoperative it is important to examen the middle and the posterior compartment of the vagina in order to achieve good postoperative results. Most urologists cure genuine stress incontinence with an abdominal approach. The combination of a colposuspension and a colpopromontoriopexy is an operation that corrects anterior, middle and posterior compartment prolapse by the same approach without significant more complications or bloodloss.
