Popis: Video abstract summary The purpose of this educational video is to describe the surgical technique and required equipment for performing a LeFort partial colpocleisis using surgical footage as well as a low-cost surgical model. Pelvic organ prolapse is very common, and 1 in 9 women will undergo surgery for prolapse by the age of 80. Management options include conservative and surgical treatment. Surgical treatment consists of reconstructive procedures or obliterative procedures. LeFort partial colpocleisis is an obliterative procedure with high success rates and low recurrent rates and is indicated in patients who are no longer having vaginal intercourse and/or have comorbidities that prohibit a more extensive procedure.
