Frailty and the Role of Obliterative versus Reconstructive Surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A National Study

For pelvic organ prolapse surgery, age rather than frailty is more strongly associated with the type of procedure performed. However, frailty is more strongly associated with postoperative complications than age. Furthermore, incorporating frailty into preoperative decision making is important to improve expectations and outcomes among older women considering pelvic organ prolapse surgery.
