Comparison incident of urinary retention in patients with vaginal surgery of pelvic organ prolapse, who removed urinary catheter at 24 hours versus 48 hours after surgery
In the past, the impact of pessaries was mostly assessed by questionnaires on Quality of Life (QoL) and sexual dysfunction. This research project primarily aims to objectify the effects of the currently available pessaries in a different way. To accomplish this, the investigators choose transperineal ultrasound and uroflowmetry. Additionally, this project aims to describe the impact of pessaries on the symptoms and QoL.
This is a prospective cohort study designed to investigate the impact of home caregiver support on post-operative convalescence in patients undergoing same day discharge after major urogynecologic surgery. Questionnaires assessing post-operative convalescence will be distributed at several time points after surgery. The main hypothesis is that increased caregiver support in the post-operative period will improve post-operative convalescence of patients undergoing major urogynecologic surgery.
Postoperative Results of a Meshless Method in the Surgical Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse; Combination of Laparoscopic Uterosacral Ligament and Round Ligament Plication.
Rectal prolapse is a medical condition where rectum is protruding through the anal opening. The treatment is by surgery that can be performed with an anterior approach through the abdomen or a posterior perineal approach. The condition is more common in elderly patients and much more common in women compared to men. All used surgical techniques have advantages and disadvantages. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate if an abdominal or perineal surgical approach is best to correct a rectal prolapse. The outcome measures will be validated questionnaires on quality of Life (SF-36) and bowel function (modified Wexner incontinence score) as well as recurrence of the rectal prolapse and surgical complications. The study is a randomized multicenter trial with a 2x2 factorial design. Patients will be randomized between perineal and abdominal approach in a first randomization and the perineal group will then further be randomized into one of two specific operations (delorme or altemeier) and the abdominal group will be further randomized into suture rectopexy or resection rectopexy. The patients will be followed for 3 months, 1 year and 3 years and a longterm follow up of up to 17 years for recurrence.
The objective of the study will be to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome of patients with obstructed defecation sndrome (ODS) associated to internal rectal prolapse, treated with transanal prolassectomy (STARR) surgery compared to those treated with laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR).
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the descent of pelvic organs into the vagina resulting in bulge symptoms and occurs in approximately 50% of women. Almost 20% of women will elect surgical correction of this condition by age 85. Removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) with concomitant vaginal vault suspension is a longstanding practice in POP surgery to address apical (uterine) prolapse. Yet, contemporary evidence on the merits of this approach relative to preservation of the uterus through suspension is needed to better inform surgical decision-making by patients and their healthcare providers. The objective of this trial is to evaluate POP-specific health outcomes and service utilization of women electing uterine suspension compared to those electing hysterectomy and vaginal vault suspension for POP surgery up to 1-year post-surgery.
Mild to moderate blepharoptosis with good levator function is usually corrected by levator muscle resection or advancement with their modifications with high success rate. Levator plication technique has been strongly suggested in patients with mild to moderate ptosis, advocated by its simple and rapid recovery. Its drawback is a high recurrence rate. We suggest a modified tucking technique that improves the force of eyelid elevation with preserved normal anatomy of Muller's muscle and conjunctiva with less disturbance to the Levator muscle aponeurosis. It is a short procedure, less complications with good aesthetic results and high patient's satisfaction.
Post-operative constipation is one of the most common complaints after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Psyillum fiber is an FDA-approved, over the counter dietary supplement that is commonly used to treat constipation. The investigators are conducting this study to determine if participants who receive psyllium fiber before surgery have less difficulty with their first bowel movement after surgery.
