Risk of malignancy in women who underwent hysterectomy for uterine prolapse
TLDR
To evaluate the risk of missing a malignancy in surgical specimens following hysterectomy for uterine prolapse if routine pathological examination is not performed, and if uterine preservation is the preferred management option, data will be provided.
Surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse in women: how to choose the best approach.
TLDR
The surgery's main objective is to ameliorate the patient's discomfort and her quality of life without causing iatrogenic dysfunctional symptoms (urinary, digestive, sexual).
Definition of apical descent in women with and without previous hysterectomy: A retrospective analysis
TLDR
A cut- off for ‘significant central compartment descent’ of 5 cm above the hymen on Valsalva seems valid regardless of previous hysterectomy.
Anterior but not posterior compartment prolapse is associated with levator hiatus area: a three‐ and four‐dimensional transperineal ultrasound study
TLDR
Anterior but not posterior compartment prolapse is associated with levator hiatus area: a three‐ and four‐dimensional transperineal ultrasound study.
Use of a visual analog scale for evaluation of bother from pelvic organ prolapse
TLDR
The aim of this study was to determine the factors contributing to the degree of bother due to a given degree of prolapse to help with the clinical evaluation of patients and planning of preventive intervention trials and surgical treatment.

What is clinically relevant prolapse? An attempt at defining cutoffs for the clinical assessment of pelvic organ descent
  • H. Dietz, K. Mann
  • Medicine, Psychology

  • 2013
TLDR
The findings suggest that the ICS POP-Q staging system requires revision and prolapse of the anterior and posterior vaginal wall of < −1 should probably be regarded as normal.
Accuracy of assessing Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification points using dynamic 2D transperineal ultrasound in women with pelvic organ prolapse
TLDR
Findings suggest that the accuracy of pelvic floor US staging is limited and that clinical assessment remains the gold standard.

TLDR
This work has shown that mild to moderate pelvic organ descent is common in young, nulligravid women and that pelvic organ prolapse is generally thought to worsen over time.
Pelvic organ prolapse symptoms in relation to POP-Q, ICS ordinal stages and ultrasound stages
TLDR
The ability of the POP-Q, ICS ordinal stages and ultrasound staging systems to discriminate between women with and without symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse was evaluated.

TLDR
Posterior compartment descent may encompass perineal hypermobility, isolated enterocele or a ‘true’ rectocele due to a rectovaginal septal defect and the prevalence was determined in a urogynecological population.
Correlation of symptoms with degree of pelvic organ support in a general population of women: what is pelvic organ prolapse?
TLDR
Women with pelvic organ prolapse with the leading edge of the prolapse beyond the hymenal remnants (some stage II and all stage III) have increased symptoms, which may help define symptomatic pelvic organs prolapse.
Correlation of symptoms with location and severity of pelvic organ prolapse.
TLDR
Increasing severity of pelvic organ prolapse is weakly to moderately associated with several specific symptoms that are related to urinary incontinence and voiding, defecatory, sexual, and pelvic floor dysfunction.
