title: [Informing a patient about surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse].
abstract: Inform consent is a major objective in the relation patient-physician. Patient's information becomes doubt when it is insufficient. To answer to medical persons asking about patient's information, pretreatment clinical and paraclinical assessment will be discussed. Reflexion delay, surgical alternative therapy and pre-operatory examination will be exposed. Several critical situations, such as associated hysterectomy, patient's comorbidity (tobacco, obesity) or synthetic mesh reinforcement have to be well-known to inform patient about failures and outcomes.
