Abstract

Pelvic organ prolapse is a widespread condition that especially affects women. There are a number of conservative and surgical therapeutic options. The choice of therapy should be individually made, depending on factors such as the grade of prolapse and concomitant secondary disorders as well as the age and general condition of the patient. This article presents current surgical options, analyzes recent studies, and offers future perspectives for reconstructive pelvic surgery.
