Approximately 10% of patients with pelvic organ prolapse face the challenge of requiring repeat surgical correction after the primary treatment has failed.
IUGA Member Gil Levy, Director of the Female Pelvic Medicine division at the Dept. of OBGYN at Assuta University Hospital, Ashdod Israel, and his team aim to provide the best care for patients, and that includes finding the most effective surgical approach following recurrent apical prolapse post laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (SCP).
We need your valuable input and experience. Participating in this brief questionnaire can help us gain insights and identify the optimal surgical alternative after a failed sacrocolpopexy.
We thank you very much for your collaboration by filling out the survey, which will take just 5-7 minutes of your time.
Uterine prolapse stands as the third leading cause of benign hysterectomy, with approximately 70,000 procedures being performed annually in the United States alone. It has long been acknowledged that the uterus is a passive bystander to the prolapse process. As more information is being accumulated surgeons are offering more uterine-preserving procedures to their patients.
Omar Duenas Garcia, MD and his team from the West Virginia University, USA are initiating a comprehensive study to discern the contemporary practices regarding the preservation of the uterus during apical prolapse surgical interventions or the preference for hysterectomy.
We invite your invaluable participation in this pivotal study aiming to unravel the most recent practices, delve into secondary outcomes, discern preferred sutures and approaches, as well as explore concerns associated with the choice of hysterectomy during prolapse repair.

Within pelvic floor surgery there is no clear evidence about when to perform a perineorrhaphy (also referred to as perineoplasty).
In preparation of a clinical multi-center study to evaluate which patients are likely to benefit of perineorraphy and which patients are not, we have learned that there is a significant practice variation. It is our intention to understand the drivers of this practice variation. There are several possible explanations, like how the surgeon has been trained, what the own clinical experience is, how the available scientific evidence is interpreted, or the patient characteristics influence the decision to perform perineorraphy or not.
In this survey we intend to quantify the role of all factors that drive surgeon's preference with respect to performing perineorraphy.
We request your willingness in helping us with understanding this practice variation as it is needed to translate the findings of our future studies to colleagues worldwide.
