Absence of vaginal bulge symptoms had strongest correlation to patient perception of success.

This editorial article discusses the need to define the disease, pelvic organ prolapse, and address what is normal pelvic support; what are the symptoms that corresponds to pelvic organ prolapse and at what level of support do patients find it bothersome; and what do patients expect from treatment.

According to the authors, the validation of the PGII for pelvic organ prolapse will be an important tool in assessing surgical outcomes in the future.

Erratum in: Obstet Gynecol. 2009 Jun;113(6):1377. This article is an important systematic review of apical vaginal prolapse repair. Procedures were separated into three groups: traditional vaginal surgery, sacrocolpopexy, and vaginal mesh kits. The rate of complications requiring reoperation and the total reoperation rate was highest for vaginal mesh kits despite a lower reoperation rate for prolapse recurrence and shorter overall follow-up.
