Colposuspension to anterior abdominal wall either by mersilene tape or rectus sheath fascial strip is a better operative procedure compared to colposacropexy by mersilene tape for correction of vaginal vault prolapse . It has better support for vaginal apex, restores normal vaginal depth and axis, prevents later development of hernia of Douglas pouch and finally it avoids intra-operative bleeding and post-operative low backache.
