ReviewWhat's new in the functional anatomy of pelvic organ prolapse?
Provide an evidence-based review of pelvic floor functional anatomy related to pelvic organ prolapse. ⋯ Pelvic organ prolapse occurs because of injury to the levator ani muscles and failure of the lateral connections between the pelvic organs to the pelvic sidewall. Abnormalities of the vaginal wall fascial tissues may play a minor role.
