- Multispecialty management is recommended for treating pelvic floor dysfunction because many patients experience multicompartmental prolapse, which can affect multiple pelvic organs.

- Results indicated an average operative time of 211 minutes for ventral mesh rectopexy and 266 minutes for combined surgeries, with an average hospital stay of 1.6 days; only 2.5% were readmitted within 30 days due to complications, with some requiring additional
