Patient-Specific Pessaries After Suboptimal Outcomes With Standard Pessary Use

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of patient-specific pessaries for individuals with prior unsuccessful experiences using standard pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse. Their retrospective study found that 77% of patients achieved initial fitting success, with 63.7% continuing to use the device after a home trial, indicating that individualized pessaries may be a viable nonsurgical treatment option for this population.
