Abstract:
Prolapses of the pelvic floor are common in women after childbirth. After hysterectomy, prolapse surgery is the second most common gynaecological surgery. Knowledge of pelvic anatomy and prolapses is essential for choosing a correct form of treatment and achieving a successful therapy. Follow-up is sufficient for prolapses that are asymptomatic or present minor symptoms. Rehabilitation of pelvic floor muscles may be helpful in the prevention of prolapses. The use of pessaries comes into question mainly in patients, to whom a surgical treatment is not applicable. Vaginal procedures are the primary ones for pelvic reconstructive surgery.
