Popis: We herein describe the operative approach of a postmenopausal woman with a history of surgically corrected congenital bladder exstrophy-epispadias who presented with long-standing complete procidentia. The patient was initially treated by laparoscopic sacral colpopexy in conjunction with a modified Elevate mesh kit anterior vaginal repair with and posterior vaginal wall repair in the form of native tissue suture plication repair. Her prolapse recurred 8 months' later due to a detachment of the mesh at the level of the promontorium. During the second-look laparoscopy, a resuspension of this mesh was deemed unsatisfactory; therefore, with patients' consent, a successful colpocleisis was performed. This case report emphasizes the complexity of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in the context of a bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex. These women are more likely to fail the more conventional current surgical treatments for POP, coercing to revert to colpocleisis.
