The protrusion of pelvic organs and their associated vaginal segments into or through the vagina is called pelvic organ prolapse (POP). In recent times, a larger number of women of reproductive age group are presenting with complaints of POP, seeking treatment for POP along with the preservation of the uterus. These groups of patients may plan for pregnancy in the future. There is limited data on successful pregnancy, delivery and long-term outcome after sacrohysteropexy. We present here the management of a case of pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) stage-III uterovaginal prolapse who underwent laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy and later on conceived and delivered by cesarean section. The uterus remained well-supported at follow up of one year after delivery.

Smoking's Impact on 30-Day Complications in Mesh and Nonmesh Prolapse Surgery.
Urogynecology (Phila)
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA.
Importance: Tobacco smoking is linked to poor surgical outcomes, leading many physicians to avoid synthetic implants like mesh in smokers due to concerns about impaired healing. While long-term outcomes for smokers have been studied, the effect of smoking on 30-day postoperative complications, especially related to surgical mesh, is less understood.
Objectives: This study aimed to quantify the association between tobacco smoking and risk of postoperative infection, readmission, and reoperation within 30 days of minimally invasive apical prolapse repair.
Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when one or more pelvic organs (uterus, bowel, bladder or top of the vagina) descend from their normal position and bulge into the vagina. Symptoms include pelvic discomfort, fullness, and changes in bladder or bowel function. Treatment ranges from conservative approaches to surgery, depending on symptom severity.

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.
Incorporating Perineorrhaphy into the LeFort Colpocleisis: A Modified Surgical Approach.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Perineorrhaphy with levator myorrhaphy is considered a standard part of colpocleisis. Typically, this is done through a separate incision after colpocleisis is completed. We present a video to demonstrate a modified approach to LeFort colpocleisis incorporating perineorrhaphy into the procedure.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a benign condition that can adversely affect women's quality of life. Mesh sacrocolpopexy is an effective surgical treatment for POP, but is considered a complex and risky surgery for obese and elderly women. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of age and obesity on the outcomes of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy.
