Abstract

The article describes a potential decision algorithm for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair. POP can affect quality of life by impairing urinary, bowel and sexual function. Conservative options include pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and pessaries. The most common type of anterior repair is anterior colporrhaphy, which involves plicating the pubocervival fascia in the midline with a series of absorbable sutures.
