The authors describe an operation for treating true prolapse of the vagina which can follow total hysterectomy. The vault is fixed to the little sacro-coccygeal ligament. They report 133 case histories. The results are very good indeed in 60% of cases. True failures are rare: 2 out of 100 cases in Richter's series and 3 out of 12 cases in Dargent's series.
