{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>Women undergoing surgery for apical pelvic organ prolapse have several medically sound options for specific surgical approaches.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>We review the principles of shared decision-making as they pertain to surgery for prolapse. We review the literature supporting the superior sacrocolpopexy as a durable treatment for prolapse and the factors that may differentiate it from other repairs in risk and benefit.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>We emphasize the importance of collaboration between patients and surgeons in surgical decision-making.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>All medically appropriate patients who desire reconstructive surgery for prolapse should be offered sacrocolpopexy.
