Core Tip

Core Tip: After undergoing radical cystectomy combined with hysterectomy, female patients may suffer from pelvic organ prolapse due to the destruction of pelvic structures, which mainly manifests as the prolapse of tissues of varying degrees in the vulva and can be accompanied by symptoms, such as bleeding and inflammation. Once this complication is present, we need surgical intervention to resolve it. So how to prevent and manage this complication is especially important. We review the surgical approach for such patients, analyzes high-risk factors for the disease and focuses on suggesting corresponding preventive measures.
