This article discusses a few of the most prominent controversies currently confronting providers and patients when planning for surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse including preoperative counseling and patient preparedness, preoperative urodynamics and concomitant anti-incontinence procedures, uterine preservation, total versus supracervical hysterectomy at the time of sacrocolpopexy, same-day discharge, and use of telemedicine for routine postoperative care. These current controversies reflect some of the larger questions and themes confronting the field at this time, and this discussion serves to highlight opportunities for further research and stimulate the constructive debate that moves the field forward.
