The incidence and risk factors of occult malignancy in patients receiving vaginal hysterectomy for pelvic organ prolapse
ConclusionThe incidence of occult malignancy during VH for POP was significantly lower than that found in hysterectomy owing to benign disease. In the case of POP patients, for whom uterine-conserving surgery is not absolutely contraindicated, it can be performed. However, if endometrial pathology is confirmed by preoperative ultrasonography, uterine-conserving surgery is not recommended.

Gynecologists ’ perspectives on surgical treatment for apical prolapse: a qualitative study
ConclusionsRecurrent apical prolapse is the most important factor in advising patients which treatment they should undergo for VVP or uterine descent. Also, the patient ’s health status and the patient’s own preference are important factors. Gynecologists who do not perform the SCP in their own clinic are more likely to perform a VSF and find more reasons not to advise a SCP. All participants prefer a vaginal surgery for a primary uterine prolapse. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)
