Correlation of preoperative and intraoperative assessment of pelvic organ prolapse by pelvic organ prolapse quantification system

We aimed to correlate the measurements of pelvic organ quantification (POP‐Q) score obtained preoperatively with Valsalva maneuver with POP‐Q score obtained intraoperatively under anesthesia in the assessment of pelvic organ prolapse. Preoperative POP‐Q scores significantly differed when assessed intraoperatively under spinal anesthesia with traction. The patient should be informed that the surgical plan may change depending on the intraoperative findings. Our study is an alert for both surgeons and patients.
