| Abstrakt: | Background: Although infrequently described, massive ascites due to malignancy contributes to symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse. Case: A 73-year-old woman with recurrent ovarian cancer and massive ascites underwent a levatorplasty for repair of posterior prolapse after failing conservative management. Conclusions: Management of patient with cancer with prolapse is complex. Patients with cancer with ascites also have pelvic organ prolapse, in addition to other, better described sequelae of increased intra-abdominal pressure. These patients should be treated specifically for prolapse, with therapy, including type of surgery, chosen with special consideration of their underlying disease. |
