| dc.description.abstract | A case of an elderly woman suffering from severe genital prolapse is presented. This was so severe that her daily everyday activities became significantly impeded. This was a significant limitation to an individual who could otherwise manage independently of family or institutional help. Major surgical procedures (vaginal hysterectomy) are associated with significant risks in these elderly and frail women.1 Utero-vaginal prolapse is never a life-threatening condition and the surgeon is faced with the dilemma of whether to recommend this procedure, with this risk, to restore her mobility. | en_GB |
