This is a randomized single-blind, non-inferiorty trial. Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is considered the gold standard for vault prolapse, and has demonstrated superior anatomic outcomes compared to transvaginal suspension procedures. Sacrocolpopexy involves suspension of the vagina to the anterior

Endoscopic biliary drainage with a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) is an accepted form of palliative therapy for distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO); it is a low invasive procedure with a long-term patency. Covered SEMSs have a longer patency than uncovered SEMSs in patients with MBO,

Acute cholecystitis is an inflammatory process presenting with biliary colic that is unremitting and may persist for more than 1 day. Obstruction of the cystic duct by a gallstone is the initiating event that leads to distention, inflammation and edema of the gallbladder wall. When the gallbladder
