Pelvic organ prolapse: anterior, superior, and posterior vaginal segment defects

B L Shull. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1999 Jul.

Abstract

Pelvic organ prolapse is a complex entity that potentially involves not only poor support for multiple sites in the vagina but also the function of the urethra, bladder, and anorectum, as well as sexual function. We must provide a comprehensive approach to the evaluation and management of women with pelvic organ prolapse and must critically review the assessment of surgical management.
