Concomitant Repair of Pelvic Floor Disorders in Women Undergoing Surgery for Gynecologic Malignancies.
The aims of this study were to determine the rate and describe 30-day postoperative complications of concomitant pelvic organ prolapse and/or urinary incontinence (POPUI) procedures in women undergoing surgery for a gynecologic malignancy. ⋯ Using a large national surgical database, only 2.4% of women undergoing gynecologic cancer surgery had a concomitant POPUI procedure. Our data suggest that postoperative complications may not increase when concomitant surgery for POPUI is done at the time of gynecologic cancer surgery.
