Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common pelvic floor disorder associated with impaired quality of life and considerable postoperative recurrence following native tissue repair. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a regenerative adjunct to improve tissue healing and surgical outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the effect of adjuvant PRP on pelvic floor muscle A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 40 women with stage II or higher POP who were randomly assigned to surgery with adjuvant PRP (n=20) or surgery alone (n=20). Pelvic floor muscle strength was assessed by perineometry, while anatomical outcomes were evaluated using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system 8 weeks postoperatively.

In this RCT participants receive POP surgery with adjunctive PRP injection in anterior vaginal wall approximately 1,5 cm below urethra at Pubocervical Fascia. Pelvic organ prolapse quantification and assessment of Levator ani muscle tone by using Eden Q biofeedback tool before surgery and 8 weeks postoperative

Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength
Pelvic Floor Muscle strength was assessed by using EDAN q biofeedback. The output were resting tone, quick contraction, contonous contraction and post resting tone.
Time frame: From enrollment until post operative evaluation at 8 weeks
Degree of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Degree of POP is measured by using POPQ assessment. Points Ba, C, and Bp are described degree of cystocele, uterine prolapse and rectocele respectively
Time frame: From enrollment to the post operative follow up at 8 weeks
