“…During anesthesia, the patient's levator ani muscles become relaxed, which might contribute to the increased degree of descent measured with traction under anesthesia. This has been demonstrated previously, when assessment in the theater showed significantly greater POP‐Q examination measurements compared with the clinic ones . In another study, a significant intraoperative increase in measurements was demonstrated only in the case of grade 1 apical prolapse; the authors attributed this to relaxation of the tissues under general anesthesia.…”
