Timeframe: preoperative, within 48 hours before surgery

Population: Data was collected retrospectively and few pelvic organ prolapse stage were not available

Pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) Staging Criteria Prolapse is staged using POP-Q criteria that can range from good support (no organ descent) reported as a POP-Q stage 0 or I to a POP-Q score of IV (complete procidentia or vault eversion)
