OBJECTIVES: Considering as a starting point the present demands in the quality of life for patients in advanced decades and the possibilities of surgical repair of pelvic floor, we made a study to assess results from patients seen in Ramón González Coro Gynecology and Obstetrics Hospital from February, 2003 to October,2007. Also we proposed the characterization of a group of patients diagnosed with vaginal cupula prolapse treated by surgery as well as the description of some clinical variables, treatment modalities and evolution events. METHODS: A retrospective and descriptive study was conducted taking into account the following variables: age, parity, course time, surgical distinctive features and complications. RESULTS There were promising results using vaginal and abdominal-perineal approaches, with only a 9,6 % of relapses, although with a 4-years the follow-up. Complications were of 16,1% and the average surgical time was of only 150 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that vaginal cupula prolapse is a successful option and with a low risk considering always the individual criteria of the required technique for each patient in particular.
