[Article in Russian]

Abstract

A review of current literature on the results of surgical treatment of patients with pelvic organ prolapse by vaginal approach is presented in the article. The relevant issues are the safety and efficiency of using mesh implants for the surgical correction of pelvic organ prolapse. Most experts recognize a need for further improvement of vaginal reconstruction techniques using synthetic meshes, however, current restrictions in a number of countries significantly impact on the respective studies. Despite the many scientific works and various publications, to date there is no single concept of the pelvic organ prolapse. It is necessary to conduct multicenter clinical studies in order to further develop clinical guidelines and to determine a place of these operations in the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.

Keywords: complications; pelvic organ prolapse; relapse; restrictions; synthetic meshes; vaginal approach.
