{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>The objective is to study the pregnancy outcomes and the recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) following laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (SCP) with uterine preservation in patients who are considering future fertility.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>This is a retrospective study in single teaching hospital. The study included six young women who conceived spontaneously, after laparoscopic SCP. Data were retrieved from the medical records of patients who underwent laparoscopic SCP and became pregnant after surgery.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B> A total of six women conceived spontaneously. Two of them got pregnant twice. The total number of pregnancies was considered to be eight. Two pregnancies ended in spontaneous miscarriages; one of them required dilatation and curettage. Five pregnancies were carried out to term, and one pregnancy ended by preterm delivery at 32 weeks. All the neonates were at appropriate weight as per their respective gestational ages except the one preterm delivery, which was small for gestational age. No intraoperative difficulties were reported during all cesarean sections. Follow-up was documented by objective assessment for more than four years post laparoscopic SCP. No recurrent apical prolapse was found. Only one patient had a recurrent, symptomatic, grade two cystocele that required reoperation.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B> Patients who desired fertility and presented with symptomatic high-grade POP were good candidates for laparoscopic SCP. Our findings demonstrate the visibility of laparoscopic SCP as an effective surgical intervention that not only levitates symptomatic POP but preserves fertility in young women.
