Overview
In the laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) technique, the fixation of the mesh as a prosthetic element for correcting anterior apical vaginal prolapse at the level of the dome or uterus can offer anatomical and functional results that are not inferior to those of the conventional surgical technique, minimize possible intraoperative complications and facilitate the specific learning curve of sacropexy.
