Filter by:Recent studies have found that pelvic floor muscle training can relieve pelvic organ prolapse related symptoms. However, the rate of cure or improvement of symptoms with exercise prescription, different compliance of the patient's behavior have great differences. Biofeedback is an instrument used to record the biological signals ( electrical activity) during a voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction and provide feedback in auditory or visual form (a louder sound with a stronger squeeze or an increasing number of lights on a visual display as the strength of the squeeze increased). Therefore, this study would explore the efficacy of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training in women with pelvic floor dysfunction with or without organ prolapse.
The aim of the study is evaluation of the efficiency of pelvic floor muscles in the context of surgical outcomes in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
ERAS protocols have been shown to improve recovery in terms of reduced pain, shortened time to ambulation and length of hospital stay. This study aims to investigate the impact of ERAS protocol on time to mobilization and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing surgery for urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse.
The aim of this study is to further evaluate this minimally invasive SSLF technique with respect to safety, clinical effectiveness, and patient satisfaction. The procedure will be performed in women electing to undergo surgical repair of their prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus, and will be evaluated using standardized measures and questionnaires.
To develop an audiovisual decision aid (AVDA) to improve the informed consent process. The investigators aim to examine the impact of a comprehensible AVDA that is written below the 8th grade reading level. The AVDA would be used for surgical consent compared to traditional verbal consent. Additionally, the investigators plan to determine whether this effect varies across the measured levels of health literacy of our patients.
To evaluate the post-hysterectomy vault prolapse (PHVP) rates performed using different methods of vaginal total hysterectomy (VTH).
This study evaluates the addition of a laparoscopic Burch colposuspension procedure at the time of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy to prevent stress urinary incontinence. Half of the participants will undergo Burch colposuspension procedure at the time of sacrocolpopexy, and half of the participants will undergo sacrocolpopexy alone.
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.
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.
