Impact of levator ani muscle avulsions on Manchester procedure outcomes: A 5‐year follow‐up study
Although women with levator ani muscle avulsion had lower odds of achieving an optimal anterior compartment outcome, the overall anatomical changes from preoperative to 5 years were similar in both groups. Importantly, avulsion did not impact symptom improvement, patient-reported outcomes, or the need for further treatment. These findings support the Manchester procedure as an effective and durable surgical option for women with POP, regardless of avulsion status.
