Popis: The aim of this study was to present a novel technique for the female pelvic organ prolapsed, an abdominal colpopexy at the lateral abdominal wall (ACLAW) using a tension-free tape and to compare it with the gold standard, the abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC). A retrospective comparative study was conducted consisting of 38 patients who underwent ACLAW and 40 patients who underwent ASC during the period 2007–2009. POP-Q data as well as PISQ-12 and POPDI-6 score values were recorded during a mean follow-up of 26.71 and 23.52 months for ACLAW and ASC groups, respectively. Parameters like operative time, blood loss and hospital stay time were evaluated as well. Except the 6-month point, anatomical outcome in terms of C point values and total vaginal length was comparable. Both score analyses did not demonstrate statistically significant differences between the groups. The novel technique was proved very much shorter (30 ± 10.2 vs. 125.93 ± 15.42 min, p
