Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
Yes, these days there is no age limit for surgery & any patient who is fit as suggested by an anesthetist can have surgery. Regional or local anesthesia can be used for many sling operations or TVT insertions. These are suitable for her or not depend upon her doctors advise & patients complains/ type of prolapse etc.
Anyway if she has been declared unfit for surgery, one other non-surgical option is vaginal passerines. There is no laser surgery offered for uterine prolapse.
Take care.
