Abstract
Pelvic organ prolapse is a complex entity that potentially involves not onl y poor support for multiple sites in the vagina but also the function of th e urethra, bladder, and anorectum, as well as sexual function. We must prov ide a comprehensive approach to the evaluation and management of women with pelvic organ prolapse and must critically review the assessment of surgica l management.
