Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
BACKGROUND: Complications from pessaries are rare and occur predominantly as a result of neglect and loss to follow-up. We report a case of vaginal evisceration at the time of pessary insertion, which was repaired with concomitant colpocleisis. CASE: An 82-year-old woman with stage IV pelvic organ prolapse (POP) presented for a routine pessary fitting, which resulted in vaginal evisceration and displacement of the pessary into the abdomen. She was treated successfully with immediate colpocleisis after transvaginal removal of the pessary and repair of the rupture site. CONCLUSION: Pessary insertion can result in vaginal evisceration. Both POP and vaginal rupture can be successfully treated with removal of the pessary, closure of the vaginal defect, and LeFort colpocleisis all in one session.
