Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) has long been subject to surgeons’ preference. Removal of the uterus has long been the standard surgical option for symptomatic POP. Is that the best option? Is surgery really necessary? What alternatives do we have? What evidence is available for these choices? Are patient’s own perspectives taken into account in what we offer them as treatment?
Learning Objectives - How do patient reported improvements compare between surgery and pessary?
- Removing or saving the uterus? Which is best from a patient’s perspective?
- What evidence do we have for the choice between uterus-sparing techniques?
