Abstract
A vaginal wall which has been damaged by one or more prolapsed organs may be repaired by a surgical procedure including the steps of: (a) mobilizing the vaginal epithelium off of the underlying fascia of at least a portion of the damaged vaginal wall; (b) positioning a reinforcing material over the exposed fascia; (c) re-fixing the vaginal epithelium over the reinforcing material; and, thereafter, (d) locating an intra-vaginal splint into the vagina such that the splint supports the vaginal wall and prevents substantial movement and displacement of the reinforcing material.
