Summary:Vaginal vault prolapse afflicts millions of women and evokes significant psychosocial and pelvic floor dysfunction. The risk factors and modalities of conservative management are discussed in this study. There remains controversy in the optimal surgical management.

In-depth evaluation of mesh-related postsurgical complications as compared to those associated with the native tissue is explored.
