Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition affecting women, characterized by the descent of pelvic organs such as the vagina and uterus. While POP may not always cause symptoms, it can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. Diagnosis is typically made through clinical examination, and treatment options range from pelvic-floor physical therapy to surgery.

Anterior sacrospinous ligament fixation (ASSLF) has emerged as a viable technique for treating apical prolapse vaginally. This procedure involves attaching the cervix or vaginal vault to the sacrospinous ligament, providing satisfactory results in the short term. Compared to the posterior approach, ASSLF shows similar efficacy, shorter operative time, and potentially fewer complications. Vaginal surgery offers advantages such as lower morbidity and cost, ability to address other pelvic conditions simultaneously, and suitability for managing recurrences.

The presented case involves a 72-year-old woman with stage 3 cystocele, stage 3 hysterocele, stage 1 rectocele, and severe voiding dysfunction. After unsuccessful attempts with a pessary, surgical intervention becomes necessary. An instructive video article has been created to standardize the essential steps of ASSLF and facilitate resident education. The video demonstrates ten surgical steps, including installation/exposure, anterior vaginal wall infiltration, median anterior colpotomy, vesico-vaginal dissection, paravesical dissection, sacrospinous ligament suture, cystocele correction, colpotomy and vaginal wall repair, uterine anterior isthmus suture and sacrospinous ligament fixation, and colporrhaphy final closure.

In conclusion, POP is a prevalent condition that can be effectively managed through techniques like ASSLF. Vaginal surgery offers several advantages, and proper training and standardization of surgical steps contribute to successful outcomes and resident education.
