Aims To systematically review the evidence for the effect of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and/or continence surgery on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) morphometry and function in women, and to investigate whether a relationship exists between PFM measures and clinician‐reported objective pelvic floor outcomes postoperatively. Methods Six electronic databases were searched until March 2018. Studies were included if they examined the effect of POP and/or continence surgery on the PFM in women, and reported pre‐ and postoperative data. Methodological quality was assessed using a modified Downs and Black checklist. Three meta‐analyses were planned based on postoperative follow‐up time. Results Twenty‐one studies met the inclusion criteria. Varied surgical interventions and 33 different PFM measures were represented. The methodological quality of included studies varied considerably. The 0 to 6 weeks postoperative meta‐analysis showed no statistically significant change in PFM function (SMD = 0.04; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.26 to 0.33). This was consistent at 3 and 6 or more months (SMD = 1.13; 0.35 95% CI = −0.34 to 2.60, − 0.42 to 1.12 respectively). None of the included studies investigated the relationship between PFM measures and clinician‐reported objective outcomes postoperatively. Conclusions This review did not show a clear effect of POP and/or continence surgery on PFM morphometry or function in women and was unable to show a relationship with outcomes such as objective prolapse score and urodynamic findings. This could be because surgery does not measurably impact on the PFM or due to the poor quality and heterogeneity of studies. Future well‐designed research is needed to specifically investigate change in the PFM following surgery.

Introduction and hypothesis The objective of this study was to identify the potential characteristics of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) in the preoperative assessment that could be associated with post-surgical prolapse severity. We hypothesized that the same variables, if identified, could be addressed in preoperative rehabilitation to improve surgical results. Methods This was a single-center prospective observational study that included women who underwent surgical pelvic organ prolapse repair between 2020–2022. Genital prolapse was evaluated according to the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system. All the participants underwent a PFM assessment, including a vaginal digital assessment and manometry (Peritron™ 9300 V) before surgery and at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-ups. Several PFM variables were recorded: vaginal resting pressure, vaginal pressure during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), area under the curve during a 10-second MVC, ability to correctly contract the PFMs, and reflexive activation during cough and relaxation. The primary endpoint of the analysis was objective surgical success defined as POP-Q 0 or 1 at the 6-month follow-up. Additionally, a change in pelvic floor muscle function was recorded during postoperative visits. Results A total of 106 females were included in the study. Fifty-one were lost during the 6-month follow-up, which is a major limitation of the study. None of the examined parameters evaluating PFM were associated with surgical success. No statistically significant difference was found in MVC and PFM endurance before and after surgery. Post-surgery, a significant change was observed in the vaginal resting pressure and the ability to correct PFM activation and relaxation. Conclusions Preoperative PFM function is not associated with surgical success 6 months after surgery.

The improvement of pelvic floor muscle function in POP patients after the Prolift procedure: results from surface electromyography

Abstract: The restoration of pelvic anatomy may account for the improved PFM function with increased electrical activity in POP patients verified by SEMG. Evaluation of PFM function may be used as a clinical tool in the overall assessment of pelvic reconstructive surgeries.
