Postoperative Mobility After Partial Semitendinosus Tendon Harvesting in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery: Results of a Prospective Observational Study

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of partial semitendinosus tendon harvesting during pelvic organ prolapse surgery on postoperative mobility and to identify patient-related factors influencing mobility outcomes. The findings indicate that the procedure does not impair mobility and is associated with significant improvements in function and quality of life, although older age and higher BMI are linked to lower mobility potential. Overall, the majority of patients reported high satisfaction with the procedure.
