The investigators have performed colposacropexy in women with uterovaginal prolapse for many years with satisfactory results. This study was designed to compare whether, in the treatment of patients with uro-genital prolapse and urinary incontinence, the addition of a contemporary anti-incontinence procedure such as mini-sling is associated with a reduction of post-operative urinary incontinence (correction of pre-existent urinary incontinence and prevention of masked urinary incontinence).

For POP, the anterior vaginal wall is dissected from the bladder to expose a vaginal wall area where the mesh will be attached. The procedure is repeated for the posterior vaginal wall. The sacral promontory surface is prepared and 1 non-reabsorbable sutures are placed into the sacral periosteum. A mini sling system will be used, placing a urethral low-tension tape anchored to the obturator muscles bilaterally at the level of tendinous arc. This mini-sling is a polypropylene monofilament mesh.
