Core Tip	Pelvic floor disorders are dysfunctions of the pelvic organs which affect a substantial amount of people, predominantly women. Operative treatment is often necessary and laparoscopic procedures play a major role. Many different techniques are used but their functional and operative outcome is hardly evaluated in randomised studies. In this review we summarize the present status of laparoscopic surgery for pelvic floor disorders. The different techniques are described, compared and rated concerning their operative outcome, functional results and recurrence rates. Clinically imp?ortant topics like management of complications and surgery in elderly people are highlighted.
