Association between delivery mode and pelvic organ prolapse: A meta-analysis of observational studies
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology Mar 26, 2019
Leng B, et al. - In order to determine the long-term impact of delivery mode on pelvic organ prolapse (POP), researchers performed a meta-analysis including 13 eligible studies. Women undergoing assisted vaginal delivery (including vacuum and forceps) were not significantly different from those undergoing spontaneous vaginal births in terms of POP incidence. An increased risk of long-term POP was observed among women who underwent vaginal delivery (including women delivering only by spontaneous vaginal births and women with both vaginal and cesarean deliveries) compared to those undergoing cesarean sections.
