Vaginal vault
The vaginal vault is the expanded region of the vaginal canal at the internal end of the vagina.[1]

Prolapse
The vaginal vault may prolapse after a hysterectomy, as there is no uterus supporting the interior end of the vagina. The incidence of vaginal vault prolapse is approximately 15% after hysterectomy due to uterine prolapse, and approximately 1% after hysterectomy due to other reasons.[2]
Colposacropexy is the gold standard for treating vaginal vault prolapse, by attaching the top of the vagina to the sacrum.[2]
