A new alternative for the surgical treatment of vaginal prolapse is presented in which the prolapse vagina is brought towards the abdominal wall using an extraperitoneal abdomino perineal approach with endoscopic control. The technique consists of a small suprapubic transverse incision to expose the abdominis rectus muscle aponeurosis. A Stamey needle is passed retropubically to the vagina and the extremity of a helicoidal suture previously made in the vaginal wall is introduced in the eye of the needle. It is then withdrawn to bring the thread to the suprapubic region. The maneuver is repeated on the other side and the threads are tied up over the aponeurosis of the rectus abdominis muscles, bringing the vagina to its original position. Endoscopic control is important to avoid bladder perforation.
