The expansion of the AOP catalogue (catalogue of operations that can be performed on an outpatient basis in accordance with Section 115b of the Fifth Book of the German Social Code (SGB V)) from January 2023 opens up new outpatient treatment options that tend to involve higher risks. This risk profile must be taken into account when informing patients.In any case, the timing of the information should be chosen so that the patient can give their consent in a well-considered manner. There is no fixed \"blocking period\" between information and consent, so the patient can consent immediately. In the case of high-risk procedures, the patient should be informed several days in advance. Criteria for determining the right time are the type and severity of the procedure, urgency and individual circumstances of the patient. The information provided should be complete and comprehensible, including the diagnosis, need for treatment, risks and alternatives. Comprehensive documentation of the information provided goes without saying.Telemedical counselling is possible in suitable cases, but the risk of timely and complete counselling remains with the doctor performing the procedure. In view of outpatient procedures that require follow-up care at home, the safety information should be more comprehensive.The expansion of the AOP catalogue opens up new opportunities for outpatient procedures, but harbours legal risks. Adapted risk and safety information is required, whereby telemedicine can optimise practice organisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":29782,"journal":{"name":"Urologie","volume":" ","pages":"588-591"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It results from weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues and is particularly common among postmenopausal women. This weakening can lead to descent of the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum, into or beyond the vaginal canal, causing significant discomfort and impairment of quality of life. Vaginal prolapse surgery is a key therapeutic approach for severe cases of POP, aiming to restore pelvic anatomy and improve functional outcomes. Surgical interventions for vaginal prolapse can be broadly categorized into native tissue repair, mesh-augmented procedures, and obliterative techniques, each with distinct indications, benefits, and risks. While traditional colporrhaphy remains a widely used technique, the introduction of synthetic meshes has improved anatomical success rates, albeit with concerns regarding complications such as erosion and dyspareunia. This article provides an overview of current surgical techniques for vaginal prolapse repair, evaluating their outcomes and complications as well as recent developments in the field. Understanding these aspects is crucial for optimizing patient-centered treatment strategies and ensuring long-term success.</p>","PeriodicalId":29782,"journal":{"name":"Urologie","volume":" ","pages":"542-550"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144019445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
