Colpocleisis (Ancient Greek: kolpos, meaning "hollow" + cleisis, meaning "closure") is a surgical procedure involving closure of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls.
The procedure is indicated in women with recurrent or severe pelvic organ prolapse who no longer desire penetrative vaginal sexual intercourse. There are two different types of colpocleisis: partial and complete. Partial (LeFort) colpocleisis is indicated in patients who still have their uterus, whereas complete colpocleisis is indicated in patients who have already had a hysterectomy.
