BACKGROUND The incidence of chronic pain after hysterectomy is reported to be up to 30%, but the relative role of different pathogenic factors has not been defined. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of preoperative abdominal and vaginal mechanosensitivity for the subsequent development of acute and chronic pain after hysterectomy. METHODS Ninety women undergoing hysterectomy for...

Recent studies from Finland reported that maternal pelvic size predicted daughters’ breast and ovarian cancer, possibly because maternal pelvic size is a marker for in utero hormone exposure. We sought to replicate this association in 3845 women born 19151929 in Uppsala, Sweden, and followed from 1960 to 2002. Archived obstetric records provided the standard measures of maternal pelvic size (in...

OBJECTIVE To study the role of hysterolaparoscopy in the evaluation and management of female infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of the 94 case files of all the patients who underwent diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy for infertility between January 2014 to June 2015 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli. These infertil...

Neurophysiological investigations and neurosurgical procedures of the sacral plexus are not especially well developed, because the sacral plexus is difficult to access. Awareness that sacral radiculopathies may exist is still lacking and the incidence of these pathologies is widely underestimated. Since the recent introduction of laparoscopy in the field of pelvic nerves, the situation has chan...

Pelvic fractures do not occur frequently in horses, and reports of incidence range from 0.9% to 4.4%. Despite this low incidence, many equine practitioners will, at some point in time, be faced with determining a diagnosis, a prognosis, or formulating a treatment regimen based on their impressions of fracture severity. Because the equine pelvis is a complex anatomic structure, the diagnosis of ...

BACKGROUND Pelvic ring injuries are associated with a high incidence of mortality mainly due to retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Early stabilization is an integral part of hemorrhage control. Temporary stabilization can be provided by a pelvic sheet, sling, or an inflatable garment. However, these devices lack control of the applied circumferential compression. We evaluated a pelvic circumferential ...

We report two cases of uterine lipoleiomyoma in postmenopausal women of ages 52 and 55 years, who presented with complaints of leukorrhea and lower abdominal pain, respectively. Lipoleiomyoma is a rare benign variant of leiomyoma, having an incidence of 0.03%-0.2%. These are benign pelvic tumors which are usually asymptomatic and commonly occur in obese postmenopausal women. However, they can o...

Methods One-hundred thirty six volunteers (male:34, female:102, mean BMI=21.1) who have no history of spinal diseases were enrolled. The average age was 39.5 years (20 ~ 69). Spino-pelvic alignments (T1/T12 kyphosis, Lumbar Lordosis [LL], Sacral Slope [SS], Pelvic tilt [PT], Pelvic Incidence [PI], T9-hip axis sagittal angle [T9ang], and sagittal vertical axis [SVA]) were measured using the EOS ...
