Summary
Aim. Assessment of the impact of correction of pelvic organ prolapse on co-occurring urological disorders in patients operated on with the use of the TVM Prolift system.
Material and methods. The TVM Prolift system was implanted in 22 patients with co-occurring pelvic organ prolapse in POPQ stages from II to IV and urological disorders such as: stress urinary incontinence, mixed urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, pollakiuria and difficulties with starting urination.
Results. In all of the patients, the surgery restored the correct anatomical conditions of the lower pelvic organs. In 77.3% of the patients operated on, the urological problems subsided or abated, in 4.5% of the patients the symptoms intensified and in 18.2% of the patients the symptoms in question remained unchanged.
Conclusions. It is justified to implant the TVM Prolift system in patients with co-occurring pelvic organ prolapse and urological disorders, because after the restoration of proper stability of lower pelvic organs the urological disorders subsided or abated in 77.3% of the patients operated on.
