Introduction And Hypothesis: This manuscript is part of the International Urogynecological Consultation (IUC) on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), Chapter 3, Committee 1 focusing on pessary management of POP.

Methods: A narrative review was conducted by an international, multi-disciplinary group of clinicians working in the field of pelvic health following a search of the literature using the MeSH terms "pelvic organ prolapse" OR "urogenital prolapse" OR "vaginal prolapse" OR "uterovaginal prolapse" AND "pessary" OR "support device" OR "intravaginal device." Relevant studies, as determined after review using the Covidence manuscript review platform, were included.

Urinary Incontinence and Care Seeking Among Wisconsin Women.

Importance: Women who identify as Black or African American are underrepresented in research about pelvic floor disorders.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to describe the prevalence of and factors associated with urinary incontinence (UI) and UI care-seeking among adult women in a Wisconsin household survey.

Study Design: This was a cross-sectional analysis of data collected by the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW).

Effect of Older Age on Postoperative Urinary Retention After Prolapse Surgery.

Importance: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is common after reconstructive pelvic surgery. Little is known about the relationship between older age (≥70 years) and POUR after pelvic organ prolapse surgery.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the relationship between age ≥70 years and POUR.

Operating on the Oldest-Old: Vaginal Prolapse Surgery Outcomes in Women Over 90.

Importance: Women aged 90 years and older ("oldest-old") represent a small but growing population who may experience bothersome pelvic organ prolapse and opt for surgical repair.

Objective: This study aimed to compare perioperative adverse events (AEs) within 8 weeks of prolapse surgery between women ≥90 years and younger patients.

Study Design: We performed a secondary analysis of a dual-center retrospective cohort study of women ≥61 years old undergoing major prolapse surgery from January 2016 to May 2023.

The Effects of a Dedicated Education Unit on Baccalaureate Nursing Students' Clinical Judgment.

Background: Nurse educators and students consider clinical learning experiences to be the best method for learning clinical judgment skills. Research on the relationship between dedicated education units (DEUs) and nursing students' clinical judgment skills is scarce. This study investigated the effects of a DEU on Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students' clinical judgment skills.
