Körnig M, et al. - Researchers sought to quantify the rate of complications in geriatric women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. Among these women, a low risk of complication and benefit from surgery were observed. Severe intra-, peri- or postoperative complications encountered were bowel injuries, bleeding requiring blood transfusion, resuscitation. A significant postoperative decrease was noted in pelvic organ prolapse connected symptoms, such as stress urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunction, recurrent urinary tract infection and rectal outlet obstruction. Findings thus highlight that age alone should not be a contraindication to surgery.
