Abstract:
The separate disease entities that are included in the general term of pelvic organ prolapse have been discussed in detail in this chapter. The focus of discussion centered on the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of these conditions. At this point, the emergency physician should be able to properly recognize, assess, initiate treatment, and obtain appropriate referral in cases of pelvic organ prolapse. Postoperative complications commonly seen after these entities are repaired have also been reviewed to help the emergency medicine physician recognize and mange common postoperative complications.
