Pelvic Prolapse

Sacrospinous Hysteropexy-Video Tutorial of Construction and Application of a Feasible and Inexpensive Teaching Model for Simulation - Beyond the Abstract

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition that many women face, significantly affecting their daily lives and overall well-being. Among the surgical treatments, sacrospinous hysteropexy (SSHP) has gained popularity because it is a uterine preserving technique, it is efficient, and it offers a short recovery time and low complication rates.

Prevalence of urinary incontinence and prolapse after hysterectomy for benign disease versus gynecologic malignancy.

To estimate the prevalence of UI and POP after hysterectomy for benign disease and gynecologic malignancy. This is a retrospective cohort chart review study. Two major urban tertiary care centers between 2006-2010.

Quality of Sexual Life Before and After Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery.

Although surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is generally associated with an improvement in sexual function, knowledge on specific changes is limited.

The aim of this study was to describe and compare changes in sexual activity and function during a 5-year follow-up period after POP surgery.

Clinically significant changes in anal sphincter hiatal area in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and pelvic organ prolapse.

The prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) increases with age and parity. Specifically, the prevalence of POP among women aged 20 to 39 is 9.7%, while it rises to 49% among women over 80 years old.

Complications associated with the use of mesh to treat female urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse

Complications can result from the use of mesh to treat female stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. While some of these complications are also common to non-mesh-based procedures, the risk of vaginal exposure of mesh, or mesh extrusion into other pelvic organs are unique complications that must be considered when using mesh. Chronic pain after mesh-based procedures can be a difficult complication to manage and may occur. Patients with stress incontinence or prolapse that are considering surgical treatment should be counseled on the potential complications and the likelihood of them occurring. Although there has been focus on the development, introduction and regulation of mesh, the diagnostic clinical decision-making process has not been put under scrutiny, and likely significantly impacts patient outcomes. There is a need to develop patient reported outcome measures for mesh procedures, and further work is needed to create a standardized way to measure and communicate different types of mesh-related complications. Future research to focus on the diagnostic clinical decision making process is recommended, including education on the ‘whole journey’ of the patient during the perioperative pathway.

Robotic Surgery in Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Retrospective Comparison of Ileopectopexy and Sacrocolpopexy.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition affecting over half of women above the age of 50. Sacrocolpopexy is a widely recognized surgical approach for apical prolapse, restoring the vaginal axis effectively.

Application of transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound in postpartum pelvic organ injury and prolapse in women.

To investigate SUI (stress urinary incontinence) and POP (pelvic organ prolapse) in women after childbirth by transperineal ultrasonography.

In this retrospective study, 107 six-week postpartum primiparous mothers and 42 healthy nulliparous women were selected during the period from January 2021 to March 2023, in Pudong New Area People's Hospital.

Sacrospinous Hysteropexy-Video Tutorial of Construction and Application of a Feasible and Inexpensive Teaching Model for Simulation.

Sacrospinous hysteropexy is one of the preeminent uterus-preserving surgical techniques for treating pelvic organ prolapse supported by level one evidence. As training on models greatly improves surgical skills and outcomes, we developed a simple and inexpensive model to simulate sacrospinous hysteropexy.

Long-term follow-up after laparoscopic reparation of pelvic organ prolapses in a large teaching gynecological center.

To provide a description of laparoscopic approach to correct pelvic organ prolapses and evaluate the risk factors associated with the prolapse recurrence.

We retrospectively analyzed 418 patients with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse who underwent a laparoscopic reparation at our university center from 2010 to 2020.

UroARC: A novel surgical risk calculator for older adults undergoing pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence surgery.

Surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are commonly performed in older adults, many of whom are also frail. A surgical risk calculator for older adults undergoing POP/SUI surgeries that incorporates frailty, a factor known to increase the risk of surgical complications, would be helpful for preoperative counseling but currently does not exist.
