This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

This paper reports on a series of patients who underwent either a sacrohysteropexy or sacrocolpopexy, with or without concurrent hysterectomy and/or insertion of a TVT. It is a large series, with follow-up ranging from 6 months to 5 years. Unfortunately, the paper does not achieve its aims, as there are essentially three groups of patients: those with vault prolapse following previous hysterectomy, those with uterine prolapse treated with sacrohysteropexy, and those with uterine prolapse treated with hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy. In addition, each group can be further divided into those with or without incontinence, treated with or without TVT, respectively.
