Factors associated with unsuccessful pessary fitting and reasons for discontinuation in Korean women with pelvic organ prolapse
TLDR
Patients with a history of hysterectomy and advanced-stage POP are at risk for an unsuccessful fitting of the ring pessary, and vaginal erosion is the main reason for discontinued use among patients with successful pessaries.
Patient Characteristics Associated With a Successful Pessary Fitting
TLDR
Patients with a previous hysterectomy and a TVL of less than 8 cm or a GH/TVL ratio of 0.9 or greater can be counseled that successful pessary fitting is unlikely.

TLDR
The ring pessary fitting can be attempted in all POP cases irrespective of stage and has an acceptable continuation rate and manageable adverse events, and is an important strategy to minimize adverse events.
Predictors of successful ring pessary use in women with pelvic organ prolapse.
TLDR
A history of previous hysterectomy is a predictor of pessary failure as are Gh+Pb on Valsalva and premenopausal status and statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationship between history, examination and imaging and pessaries success.
Risk Factors for Dislodgment of Vaginal Pessaries in Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Cohort Study
TLDR
The presence of advanced apical POP and previous POP surgery are risk factors for ring pessary dislodgment in women with advanced pelvic organ prolapse and this information should guide physicians for counseling patients before pessaries insertion.
Predictors of unsuccessful pessary fitting in women with prolapse: a cross-sectional study in general practice
TLDR
Pessary fitting was successful in 58 %, indicating that pessary treatment may be suitable for many, but not for all women in general practice with symptomatic prolapse, as demonstrated by the association with underactive pelvic floor muscles, and body mass index.
Predictors for dislodgment of vaginal pessary within one year in women with pelvic organ prolapse.
Is hysterectomy or prior reconstructive surgery associated with unsuccessful initial trial of pessary fitting in women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse?
TLDR
It seems conclusive to recommend pessary treatment as a general first-line therapy for symptomatic POP, since after unsuccessful pessaries treatment, women can still undergo surgery, whereas reversing treatment options might not always be feasible.
Factors associated with long-term pessary use in women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse

    Climacteric : the journal of the International Menopause Society
  • 2019
TLDR
TVL ≥ 7.5 cm and a higher baseline POPDI-6 score were independent factors associated with long-term pessary use after successful fitting in women with symptomatic POP.
Pessary fitting for pelvic organ prolapse: parameters associated with specific reasons for failure
TLDR
Complete avulsion and a small ring pessary with respect to the levator HA in Valsalva are predictors of pessaries dislodgment, whereas solitary predominant posterior compartment POP is a predictor of failure to relieve POP symptoms.
