Quantitative biomechanical characterization of pelvic supportive structures and functions in vivo is thought to provide insight into the pathophysiology of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Vaginal tactile imaging is an innovative approach to the biomechanical mapping of the female pelvic OBJECTIVE
Ewes develop pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and may be a suitable model for preclinical studies evaluating cell-based therapies for POP. The aim of this study was to establish a clinical score of vaginal weakness and to compare POP Quantification System (POP-Q) values in conscious nulliparous
Female pelvic organ prolapse refers to the descent of the pelvic organs towards or through the vagina. The similarities between vaginal prolapse and herniae in their aetiology and treatment make this an interesting area for all those operating in the pelvis. It is a common condition with prevalence
BACKGROUND
About 15% of all hysterectomies are performed for pelvic organ prolapse, generally through the transvaginal approach. However, concomitant bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is not always feasible through this approach, because the adnexae are sometimes inaccessible.
OBJECTIVE
To
A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency room complaining of general weakness and anorexia that started 20 days earlier. She denied other underlying diseases that might have provoked chronic renal disease. Her serum creatinine was 12.35 mg/dL. A pelvic examination and computed tomography
Pelvic floor weakness is common in middle-aged and elderly parous women and is often associated with stress incontinence, uterine prolapse, constipation, and incomplete defecation. Most patients with incontinence and minimal pelvic floor weakness can be treated based on physical examination and
From the factors known to promote descensus those which may best be objectified--among them overweight, hard physical labour, weakness of the connective tissue and number of births--are examined in a group of women with descensus and a control group with regard to their valence for the development
OBJECTIVE
Native tissue vaginal repairs are associated with relatively high levels of recurrence. Systematic reviews have noted that preoperative pelvic floor muscle strength was associated with increased risk of recurrence in the short term.
METHODS
This is a retrospective review of patients who
Seventeen cases of spontaneous, partial or total vaginal rupture, in pregnant ewes, involving the dislocation and herniation of the intestines and uterus, were studied. Four of them also had a uterine torsion, and three of these recovered after treatment. In the remaining 13 cases the condition of
The classical abnormalities found in patients with complete rectal prolapse--wide deep pelvic peritoneal pouch, unsupported redundant rectum with long mesorectum, weak pelvic floor and anal sphincters--are probably effects rather than causes. "Pelvic floor weakness" must explain few cases, since old
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the results of grade IV cystocele repair by 4-corner bladder and bladder neck suspension technique, using prolene mesh.
METHODS
Thirty-one women with a median age of 61 years and severe anterior vaginal wall prolapse (grade IV cystocele) were treated by 4-corner bladder and
Intracranial subdural hematoma is an exceptionally rare complication of spinal anesthesia. An 88-year-old female patient diagnosed with grade V uterine prolapse with rectocystocele received a vaginal hysterectomy and anteroposterior repair under spinal anesthesia. At 4 days postoperatively, she
Introduction: Mesh fixation at the promontory is the most important procedure in laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. We present a case of pelvic organ prolapse wherein sacrocolpopexy was converted to lateral suspension intraoperatively due to
Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Surgical mesh has been used since the 1950s to repair abdominal hernias. In the 1970s, gynecologists began using surgical mesh products to indicate the repair of pelvic
BACKGROUND
Aims of this study were to determine the rate of symptoms related to perineal trauma (anal and stress urinary incontinence) and to assess pelvic floor muscle function in women who underwent epidural analgesia.
METHODS
Comparative design comprising 70 matched pairs of primiparous mothers.
