Influence of Patient's Age on the Outcome of Vaginal and Laparoscopic Procedures in Urogynaecology.

Conclusion Our data show that both pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence can be treated with surgery with good results in women aged ≥ 70 years. It was thus possible to show for the first time in a large patient population that older women should not be denied appropriate surgery but can be offered the same range of surgical options as younger patients.
