Clinical Report: Biomechanical Reconstruction of the Pelvic Floor for POP

Overview

This study evaluates the outcomes of pelvic floor biomechanical reconstruction in 135 patients with moderate to severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Background

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are common conditions that often coexist, affecting the quality of life in many women. Traditional surgical approaches may not adequately address both anatomical and functional restoration, leading to high rates of postoperative incontinence. This study investigates a biomechanical reconstruction technique aimed at improving both anatomical and urinary outcomes in patients with moderate to severe POP.

Data Highlights

Key Findings

• All POP-Q indicators improved significantly at 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years (P < 0.001).
• Ultrasound parameters showed significant decreases at 3 months postoperatively.
• 94.8% of patients reported being 'very much improved' or 'much improved' at 2 years.
• Postoperative SUI symptom rate was 3.7%, with a POP recurrence rate of 2.2%.
• Major adverse events were uncommon, with intraoperative complications at 3.0% and mesh exposure at 1.5%.

Clinical Implications

The findings suggest that pelvic floor biomechanical reconstruction can effectively restore anatomical integrity and improve urinary function in patients with moderate to severe POP. The low rates of complications and recurrence highlight its potential as a viable surgical option.

Conclusion

Pelvic floor biomechanical reconstruction demonstrates anatomical correction and continence outcomes over a two-year follow-up period.
