[The role of ethiopathologic approach in pelvic prolapse surgery]

Prior to examining and describing pelvic organ support defects in females, all clinicians should use optimal pelvic prolapse classification. We proposed our original classification which includes both the prolapse grade and etiopathological causes. In our classification crucial point of descent is isthmus of uterus. Such conception will aid in providing a comprehensive and correct surgical treatment to reduce prolapse recurrence. According to ethiopathologic principles in pelvic prolapse surgery, in our study success was obtained in 97.3%.
