Brief summary

The investigators planned to measure the effectiveness of laparoscopic pectopexy in apical prolapse and whether the addition of sacrouterine ligaments plication to pectopexy increases the effectiveness of pectopexy operation. Investigators planned to measure patients' quality of life using the female sexual function scale test 3, 6 and 12 months after the surgery and to determine how the operation affects the quality of sexual life.

Detailed description

In this study, the investigators planned to measure the effectiveness of laparoscopic pectopexy in apical prolapse and whether the addition of sacrouterine ligaments plication to pectopexy increases the effectiveness of pectopexy operation. Investigators planned to measure patients' quality of life using the female sexual function scale test 3, 6 and 12 months after the surgery and to determine how the operation affects the quality of sexual life.

Interventions

PROCEDUREpectopexy operation

Vaginal cuff or uterine cervix will be attached to iliopectineal ligament with polypropylene mesh on both sides.

PROCEDUREuterosacral ligaments plication operation.

At least 2/3 of the sacrouterine ligaments will be shortened with helical sutures, starting from the cervix and so douglas will be partially obliterated.
