Filter by:Patient preparedness has been associated with increased patient satisfaction, decreased postoperative pain and decreased postoperative narcotic use; however, little is known regarding the optimal way to prepare patients prior to pelvic reconstructive surgery. The primary aim of this study is to determine if a preoperative counseling in person visit has similar rates of patient preparedness as a preoperative counseling phone call for women undergoing same-day pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Secondary aims evaluate patient satisfaction, postoperative pain scores and postoperative narcotic usage. Women who plan to undergo pelvic organ prolapse surgery will be randomized to a preoperative in person counseling visit or a preoperative counseling phone call. Participants will complete questionnaires to assess their preparedness, satisfaction and postoperative pain. The goal of this study is to gather information that will allow clinicians to improve patient surgical preparedness and satisfaction.
Introduction : The extraperitoneal uterosacral ligament suspension (ULS) can be performed during the removal of the uterus in vaginal hysterectomy to prevent cuff prolapse. In this study, the modified extraperitoneal ULS technique was evaluated in terms of preventing cuff prolapse. Methods / Technique : Forty patients with second and third-stage uterine prolapse who were operated were included in the study. During routine vaginal hysterectomy procedure performed on patients, after sacrouterine ligaments which are the first-bites and uteroovarian and round ligaments which are the last-bites have been sutured and knotted, these ligaments were marked with 4-distinct clemps to make the right and left, upper and lower separation. After vaginal cuff was closed the sutures hanged by the clamps were ligated together, and the cuff tissue was stretched to the apical line.
Prospective long-term evaluation of the performance and safety of Calistar S for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair in women with anterior POP with or without apical vaginal involvement
This study is randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial to access oral Methenamine Hippurate (MH) in combination with cranberry capsules is superior to cranberry capsules alone in prevention of UTI in patients with transient post-operative urinary retention requiring a Foley catheter after pelvic reconstructive surgery.
To estimate the safety and efficacy of performing modified anterior transvaginal mesh surgery using polypropylene mesh for treatment of advanced urogenital prolapse after hysterectomy (stage III and IV vc Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification [POP-Q] system staging).
SSLF is typically a suture-based attachment of the vaginal apex to the sacrospinous ligament, either unilaterally or bilaterally. It is usually accomplished with specially designed equipment in English-language scientific literature. However, these instruments either reusable or disposable are relatively expensive and difficult in accessibility, and are not yet widely applied around China. Typical Asian smaller pelvis offers us an optional repair procedure with conventional surgical instruments instead of special instrument.
Introduction With increasing age the incidence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) rises and will increase substantially in the future according to forecasting studies. It is possible that oestrogens, alone or in combination with other forms of therapy, may assist in the management of POP by increasing collagen synthesis and thereby improving the strength of the weakened vaginal epithelium. Yet, studies investigating the effect of topical oestrogen and its impact on POP associated symptoms, both self-reported improvement and observations of objective improvement, are lacking. Objective To evaluate the subjective efficacy concerning prolapse associated complaints measured by the German pelvic floor questionnaire (domain POP: POP-score) after preoperative use of local oestrogen compared to preoperative placebo treatment in postmenopausal women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse. Further variables of interest are POP-score after 3 months, differences regarding the objective prolapse quantification system (POP-Q), surgical outcome and tissue operability assessed by the surgeon. Methods In this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study the investigators aim to include 120 postmenopausal women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse and indicated operative procedure. An analysis of covariance will be computed with the depending variable POP-score after 6 weeks and the independent variables group (verum versus placebo) and Pop-Score at baseline.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is considered one of the commonest gynecologic health problems all over the world. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is common and can be seen in up to 50% or more of parous women. The annual aggregated rate of associated surgery for pelvic organ prolapse is in the range of 10-30 per 10,000 women. It is estimated that women have an 11-19% life-time risk of undergoing surgery for POP. This rate is projected to increase over the next 2-3 decades. Apical POP refers any descent of the cervix or the vaginal cuff scar(as after hysterectomy) below a point which is 2 cm less than the total vaginal length about the plane of the hymen. Apical POP is due to defect in apical support with damage to the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments. Apical pelvic organ prolapse is a common issue in our country with significant incidence rate due to many predisposing factors including increasing age, higher gravidity and parity (especially the number of vaginal births)
Urogenital prolapse is a frequent and invalidating pathology in women, involving the anterior vaginal wall and the uterus in most cases. Posterior vaginal wall prolapse is present in only 50% of cases. Surgery is an option for women with troublesome prolapse. A woman's lifetime risk of undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery by the age of 80 is around 19%. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LS) with synthetic non-absorbable mesh is considered the gold standard, with a composite success rate of 85% at one year (Prospere study). Based on early experience and historical habits, a prerectal mesh was used to be systematically placed in the rectovaginal space, in addition to the anterior and apical mesh placed in the vesicovaginal space, in order to prevent de-novo posterior prolapse (reported rates up to 33%). The benefit of preventive prerectal mesh is questionned on the basis of a single retrospective study comparing 68 LS with double-mesh (anterior & posterior, DM) to 32 LS with a single anterior mesh (SAM): posterior recurrence rates were respectively 5.9 vs. 31.3% (p<0,01), and total recurrence rates 16.2 vs. 43.8% (p<0.01). However, as this difference was not significant in the subgroup of patients without associated cervicocystopexy, the authors concluded that the risk of posterior failure was only due to the cervicocystopexy itself (anti-urinary incontinence procedure which has been abandoned since). On the other hand, a prerectal mesh increases the risk for specific complications: rectal injury (up to 3%), anal pain (up to 25%), mesh exposition (up to 2%). Furthermore the posterior mesh increases the procedure by a minimum of 30 minutes (Robolaps study, unpublished data). The rate of de-novo obstructed defecation after LS with prerectal mesh is reported up to 25%. It could be explained by the mesh itself, but also by nerve injuries during the dissection of the rectovaginal space and rectal stalks.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a major health concern, affecting more than 30% of women. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of Uphold system and Perigee system in treating women with cystocele.
