Female pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is characterized by lack of vaginal support which enables pelvic organs to bulge into the vaginal walls and sometimes protrude through the genital hiatus. POP is more frequent among women who had their uterus removed. We would like to investigate whether suspension of the top of the vagina during remowal of the uterus prevents subsequent POP. The purpose of the PhD project is therefore to describe validity, terminology, and operative performance of used suspension methods during benign hysterectomy in Denmark. Further, to investigate these suspension methods' possible association with pain, life quality, sexuality, pessary use, and POP .
