Abstract
Genital prolapse surgery is a functional surgery aimed at restoring the anatomical position and functions of the pelvic organs. Currently, the gold standard is laparoscopic surgery with a polypropylene prosthesis. This is functional surgery involving the interposition of strips and their fixation to the spine. This technique avoids the need for a vaginal opening and is therefore less prone to infectious complications and prosthesis exposure. Exposure of the prosthesis several years after insertion calls for monitoring. We present the case of a patient operated on at our level for genital prolapse using the laparoscopic lateral suspension technique, with exposure of the sling three years after insertion. We describe the various lesions found and the therapeutic strategy.
