Description

Pawel Szymanowski and co-authors tested defect-based surgery for bladder prolapse in this 2025 study. The condition, cystocele, often returns after standard repair. Records covered 317 women treated at one center in 2019 and 2020.

Patients were sorted into five defect types, and the repair was tailored to each type, from mesh and keyhole fixes to suspension methods. The overall return rate was 6.3 percent. It was highest for central defects and zero for one mixed type. The authors argue that naming the exact defect, rather than routine womb removal or mesh use, should drive surgical planning.
