Vaginal-assisted Laparoscopic Sacrohysteropexy and Vaginal Hysterectomy with Vaginal Vault Suspension for Advanced Uterine Prolapse: 12-month Preliminary Results of a Randomized Controlled Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Vaginal-assisted laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy (VALH) is a new modified form of uterine-sparing prolapse surgery using a combined vaginal and laparoscopic approach.
