The aim of our study is to examine the effect of prolapse surgery on voiding. Our study is the very first one to combine several innovative low-invasive and low-cost methods to analyse the amelioration or deterioration of voiding function after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse using 3D/4D translabial ultrasound, home-uroflowmetry and patient reported quality of life outcomes.
