Conclusion
POP has been accepted as a quality of life problem rather than a comorbidity. The long-term outcome studies of prolapse surgery are often focused on recurrence and complications. To date, little is known about survival or the long-term health consequences of POP after reconstructive pelvic surgery. The survival rates after pelvic reconstructive surgeries assessed by inference from studies on patients aged 65 years or older undergoing elective general surgery were similar to those who did not undergo surgery.25 IAP was significantly increased after pelvic reconstructive surgery in our pilot study. Increased IAP after reconstructive pelvic surgery may be associated with long-term unfavorable health consequences. The association between increased IAP with POP and its clinical consequences should be evaluated in large, well-designed studies.
