Abstract
The POP-Q system can be used to assess female baboon vaginal support. In a sample of baboons, pelvic support loss consistent with POP was not identified. As the pelvic anatomy is similar to the human female, the baboon may prove useful for evaluating surgical materials and for modeling pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries.
