Resumo: |
Genital prolapse is a highly prevalent disorder in women with negative impact in quality of life and sexual function. For uterovaginal prolapse, surgical repair may or may not include a hysterectomy, but the reestablishment of the vaginal apical support is always mandatory to ensure long-term effectiveness. Choosing the most appropriate surgical procedure should take into consideration many factors, such as the location of the anatomical defects, the severity of symptoms, the woman's level of activity or concerns regarding the treatment's durability. In this article we review data that can help to guide decisions when treating women with apical genital prolapse. |
