Terminology of pelvic organ prolapse.
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common gynecologic condition, yet until recently no standard classification system to describe prolapse existed. A validated and standardized terminology system is now in use that allows accurate description of physical findings as well as meaningful communication between clinicians and comparisons of published series.
