ABSTRACT Objective This prospective study evaluated the impact of the “double‐hump” deformity—defined by anterior protrusions of the L4–L5 and L5–S1 disks—on L5–S1 angulation and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) outcomes. We hypothesized that this deformity is associated with reduced angulation and impaired sacral promontory visibility. Methods The L5–
