Abstract
<b>Aim. </b>Assessment of the impact of correction of pelvic organ prolapse on co-occurring urological disorders in patients operated on with the use of the TVM Prolift system.<br><b>Material and methods. </b>The TVM Prolift system was implanted in 22 patients with co-occurring pelvic organ prolapse in POPQ stages from II to IV and urological disorders such as: stress urinary incontinence, mixed urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, pollakiuria and difficulties with starting urination.<br><b>Results.</b> In all of the patients, the surgery restored the correct anatomical conditions of the lower pelvic organs. In 77.3% of the patients operated on, the urological problems subsided or abated, in 4.5% of the patients the symptoms intensified and in 18.2% of the patients the symptoms in question remained unchanged.<br><b>Conclusions.</b> It is justified to implant the TVM Prolift system in patients with co-occurring pelvic organ prolapse and urological disorders, because after the restoration of proper stability of lower pelvic organs the urological disorders subsided or abated in 77.3% of the patients operated on.
