Abstract

(Abstracted from Urogynecology 2022;28:667–678)

Undergoing pelvic floor reconstructive surgery bears a lifetime risk between 14% and 19%, with a significantly higher risk in elderly and postmenopausal women. The traditional preferred surgical approach for pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) is vaginal hysterectomy (VH) with or without pelvic floor repair.
