Objectives: To demonstrate the importance of reducing the high grade vaginal prolapse (POPQ> +III) in clinical and urodynamic evaluation when determining the presence of occult stress urinary incontinence and planning treatment of both conditions (prolapse and stress urinary incontinence - SUI) in the same surgical procedure in order to avoid SUI following correction of prolapse alone. Design: Retrospective and descriptive study. Setting: Urology, Clinica San Pablo, Sede Surco, Lima, Peru. Participants: Women with genital prolapse. Interventions: Between July 2009 and June 2012, in 40 patients 43-78 year-old (median 62,9 years) genital prolapse grade III-IV was reduced with gauze during both clinical evaluation and urodynamic study (SUI classification according to Continence International Society - SIC). Main outcome measures: Occult stress incontinence. Results: During clinical evaluati...
