Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject's leading edge of POP is at or beyond the hymen. At or beyond the hymen is defined as POP-Q scores of Ba ≥ 0 or Bp ≥ 0 or C ≥ 0 (for prolapse of the apical compartment alone) or C ≥ -½ total vaginal length (for a multi-compartment prolapse that includes the apical compartment).
• Subject is seeking surgical intervention for symptomatic POP, which is defined as experiencing symptoms of vaginal bulging or pelvic heaviness. Vaginal bulge or pelvic heaviness will be considered present if a subject responds "yes" (≥1) to PFDI-20, question 3.
• Subject or subject's legally authorized representative is willing to provide written informed consent.

• Subject is not able to conform to the modified dorsal lithotomy position.
