Abstract
The impact of frailty, a state of vulnerability to insult with reduced likelihood of full recovery, resulting in suboptimal clinical outcomes following medical intervention has been recognized for some years. Pelvic floor dysfunction is common in frail older women and, as greater proportions of women survive into late life, the number requiring treatment is likely to increase. This article discusses the assessment of frailty, its impact on management of women with PFD and presents what is known about the management of PFD in frail older women from conservative to surgical therapies.
