Prolapse Globally, approximately 1 million women suffer uterovaginal prolapse annually and this condition can be associated with urinary incontinence. The breakdown of treatments for uterovaginal prolapse includes: * 20% - no treatment * 20% - non surgical management (pessary) * 60% - receive a surgical procedure of a suture repair or mesh repair There were greater than 600,000 surgeries performed globally to treat prolapse.
