Clinical and Urodynamic Findings Before and After Surgical Repair of Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Women With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. A Prospective Observational Study

To investigate the association between urodynamic findings and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) before and after surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP).Seventy-four patients with stage II or more anterior POP associated with LUTS and eligible for surgical repair of POP were included in this prospective study. All cases had clinical evaluation and urodynamic testing (UDS) before and 6 months after surgical repair of POP.Mean age was 45 ± 9 years. Mean BMI was 28 ± 6 kg/mPatients had significant improvement in LUTS after POP surgery with or without an anti-incontinence procedure. Detrusor underactivity was associated with persistence of voiding LUTS. Meanwhile, preoperative DO and post-void residual urine volume were of limited prognostic value.
