Popis: The presacral space lies in the true pelvis anterior to the sacrum. Within the presacral space lies the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL), which covers a portion of the anterior sacrum. Fixation to the ALL of the pelvic floor and reproductive tract in women has been performed for several decades as a treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) (Fig. 18.1) [1]. The specific area of interest for the pelvic reconstructive surgeon lies caudal to the bifurcation of the great vessels and medial to the right ureter and sigmoid colon.
