- Pelvic Floor Disorders
Background:
- Systematic assessment of female genital prolapse therapies enhances understanding of anatomical and functional connections.
- Traditional surgical methods for vaginal prolapse repair demonstrate lasting effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate current therapy concepts for female genital prolapse.
- To address the increasing use of vaginal meshes in prolapse repair.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review and assessment of evidence-based therapy strategies.
- Analysis of functional and anatomical outcomes in prolapse management.
Main Results:
- Traditional surgery offers proven, lasting effectiveness for vaginal prolapse.
- Vaginal meshes are frequently employed, but lack robust therapy recommendations.
Conclusions:
- Standardized performance and application in experienced departments are crucial for novel methods like vaginal meshes.
- A cautious approach is warranted for vaginal mesh procedures due to limited evidence-based guidelines.
