Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of transperineal ultrasound compared to the preoperative pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) system in diagnosing surgical pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in patients with symptoms.
- Conducted over two years, the research included 167 patients who had both clinical examinations and ultrasounds before corrective surgery for symptomatic POP.
- Results show that the ultrasound had a very good correlation in diagnosing uterine prolapse and cervical elongation, outperforming the moderate to good correlation from the traditional clinical examination.
