Body mass index influences the risk of reoperation after first-time surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. A Danish cohort study, 2010-2016.

If the woman had BMI > 35 and first-time surgery was in the anterior compartment, she had an almost doubled risk of reoperation within 5 years both in the same compartment and in an adjacent compartment compared to women with BMI < 35. In the apical and posterior compartment there was a trend towards increasing risk of reoperation with increasing BMI, although with a broad confidence interval.
