%X <strong>Background:</strong> Cystocele is an anatomical form of pelvic organ prolapse. It involves herniation of the bladder through the anterior wall of the vagina. <strong>Objectives:</strong> To report the anatomical and functional results of vaginal cure of cystocele in five cases.<strong> Patients and methods: </strong>A cross-sectional descriptive study of five patients presenting with a cystocele between January 2021 and December 2022 at the Urology Department of the Bouak¨¦ University Hospital (C<span style=\"white-space:nowrap;\">&amp;#244;</span>te d¡¯Ivoire). All patients underwent vaginal cure of cystocele. The results of the operation were assessed on the basis of judgment criteria. The parameters studied were: age, marital status, profession, history, reason for consultation and outcome of the operation.<strong> Results: </strong>During the study period, five patients underwent vaginal cystocele surgery. The mean age was 46.6 years with extremes of 32 and 63 years. Three patients were married. All patients had a history of obstructed labour due to fetal macrosomia. 4 patients had grade II cystocele and one patient had grade III cystocele. All patients underwent anterior colpo-perineorrhaphy. The average operating time was 56 minutes (45 - 65 minutes). There was no morbidity. The average hospital stay was 3.6 days. The average duration of the urinary catheter was 2.2 days. At three months post-op, 4 patients had a good anatomical and functional result with a very good degree of satisfaction, compared with one patient who was moderately satisfied and had an average anatomical and functional result. At six months, all five patients had a good anatomical and functional result with a very good degree of satisfaction. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Cure of cystoceles by the vaginal route is a technique that offers several advantages, especially the significant reduction in patient morbidity. Its anatomical and functional results demonstrate its reliability.
