[Dynamic MRI in the preoperative management of genital prolapse. A prospective study].

Forty-three patients with genital prolapse prospectively underwent blinded pre and postoperative MRI, with dynamic assessment of each compartment. MRI was significantly more accurate than physical examination for the diagnosis of posterior defects (rectocele, enterocele) but not for anterior defects or uterine prolapse (hysterocele, cystocele). Postoperative MRI confirmed the surgical outcome and also identified risk factors for recurrence.
