TL;DR: Although spontaneous vaginal delivery was significantly associated with stress incontinence and prolapse, the most dramatic risk was associated with operative vaginal birth.

TL;DR: The authors' multivariable results suggest that one additional woman would have development of prolapse for every eight women who experienced at least one forceps birth (compared with delivering all her children by spontaneous vaginal birth).

TL;DR: The incidence of pelvic floor disorders after childbirth was described to identify maternal and obstetrical characteristics associated with patterns of incidence 1 to 2 decades after delivery and cesarean delivery was associated with significantly lower hazard for stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, and pelvic organ prolapse.

TL;DR: Anal incontinence and quality-of-life scores were similar between women who delivered by cesarean section and those who delivered vaginally without sphincter laceration.

TL;DR: Laroscopic sacral hysteropexy and vaginal mesh hysteropExy had similar 1‐year cure rates and high satisfaction and Pelvic floor symptom and sexual function scores improved for both groups with no difference between groups.
