Our results showed that MUS can cure low-stage anterior POP. Previous reports suggested that PVS might provide additional support to the bladder base, improving the durability of AC [Going through different POP grading systems, Muir et al. [Anterior colporrhaphy was thought to be curative in SUI in the study by Tamussino et al. [Although the use of meshes for the correction of cystocele was favorably considered by many [Pubovaginal sling using the rectus sheath was found to be an effective treatment for symptomatic cystoceles in 30 women [The difference between the two groups regarding symptoms was insignificant at 6 and 12 months. This means that concomitant colporrhaphy did not affect the patients’ perception of their quality of life.It was debated that repair of stage 2 cystoceles could be omitted altogether from surgery for SUI associated with cystoceles [In conclusion, MUS can correct symptomatic stage 1 or 2 cystoceles without the need for added AC. Adding colporrhaphy was associated with a significantly longer procedure and greater blood loss. Although three different sling techniques were adopted, which is potentially confounding to the outcome of the stud, this could be taken as a strength, as we utilized the three most popular MUS in the same study.
