Is combined surgery in pelvic organ prolapse safe and effective?
Combined surgery for POP is safe and effective when considering outcomes of rectal prolapse surgery. Therefore surgeons should not hesitate to address all pelvic floor issues during the same operation by working in partnership with the anterior pelvic floor colleagues.
Our work supported LRP5 genetic variants as possible susceptibility factors for osteoporosis and fractures in humans. Especially, the SNP rs491347 and its strongly associated SNPs (e.g., rs1784235) could be important to human osteoporosis phenotypes.
