Introduction And Hypothesis: Identifying patient-reported outcome measures allows management of urogenital prolapse to be tailored to reflect symptom bother and expectations of treatment. We devised a new single-item questionnaire, the Patient Perception of Prolapse Condition (PPPC), based on the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC). The aim was to evaluate the criterion validity, test/re-test reliability and responsiveness of the PPPC.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the anatomic and clinical outcomes of robot-assisted sacrohysteropexy (RASH) against robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) for the treatment of primary advanced apical prolapse.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all robot-assisted pelvic organ prolapse surgeries for primary advanced apical prolapse (stage ≥II) between January 2011 and May 2021 at an academic tertiary hospital. Surgical outcomes and pelvic organ function were evaluated using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantitative (POP-Q) stage and validated questionnaires (POPDI-6) during preoperative and postoperative 12-month follow-up evaluations.

Objectives: To evaluate whether cystocele type varies with vaginal parity.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 464 vaginally nulliparous women seen at 2 urogynecology units between November 2006 and November 2019. A control group consisted of 871 vaginally parous women seen between July 2017 and November 2019.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common disorder in women, and it is characterized by weakening of pelvic supportive structure with extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) was upregulated in anterior vaginal wall tissues of POP patients. We hypothesized that upregulation of ATF3 might contribute to POP development.
