[Richter's spinofixation in vaginal prolapse].

The transvaginal sacrospinous fixation, called Richter operation was initially aimed to cure vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy. The results are as good as those of the abdominal promontory fixation with the well known advantages of the vaginal route. Indications way be extended to V3 U3 R3 prolapse and cure of elytrocele with good results in our practice. In few cases remnant cystocele may be a trouble some problem.
