Pelvic Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects 23.4% of women in Saudi Arabia. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is the established surgical gold standard; however, whether concomitant hysterectomy confers additional perioperative risk remains debated.

Older women pursing surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse are often at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), yet administration of preoperative pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis (PTX) may increase risk of wound complications and bleeding.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is commonly associated with voiding dysfunction, often presumed to result from bladder outlet obstruction. However, neurological or structural lesions may mimic or coexist with prolapse-related dysfunction.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common pelvic floor disorder in postmenopausal women, yet no biomarkers currently exist to predict its development. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sex hormone levels, particularly androgens, and the severity of POP in postmenopausal women.

Laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) is an effective mesh-based repair for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), but the optimal concomitant hysterectomy strategy - total (TH) versus subtotal (STH) - remains undefined.

Anterior compartment prolapse is the most common pelvic organ prolapse. Clinicians have utilised various surgical techniques to minimise the rate of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

To determine the benefits and harms of surgery for anterior compartment prolapse.

To explore the application value of multiparameter quantitative MRI in evaluating pelvic floor muscle function in POP patients.

Sixty-nine POP patients and 32 healthy controls (HC) were prospectively enrolled and categorized into POP I-II (n = 32) and POP III-IV (n = 37) groups based on POP-Q.

Uterine preserving procedures for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) have been drawing increased interest in recent years. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of obesity on outcomes following uterine preserving apical prolapse repair.

The pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q) can be difficult to learn, but visual aids can facilitate its learning. We aimed to evaluate the Interactive Pelvic Organ Prolapse (iPOP) model as a teaching tool for residents learning the POP-Q and hypothesized that training with the iPOP model would enhance learner confidence and proficiency in conducting POP-Q examinations.

Data are limited regarding the impact of concomitant midurethral sling (MUS) placement at the time of apical pelvic organ prolapse repair (POPR) on postoperative changes in overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence (OAB/UUI).
