Uphold transvaginal mesh implantation is an option for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP). This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the effect of Uphold transvaginal mesh implantation on female sexual function. 205 women with symptomatic POP were recruited and evaluated pre-operatively and re- evaluated six months post-operatively in terms of anatomical restoration, quality of life influenced by urinary incontinence and female sexual function. 30 women eventually completed the assessments and been statistically evaluated. The main outcome focused on sexual function. In our study, we found that Uphold transvaginal mesh surgery could achieve effective anatomical restoration of POP and better sexual function regardless of concomitant sling surgery.
