The method used is a systematic review articles from Pubmed, Proquest, ScienceDirect, SAGE and Scopus databases. results showed that PFMT other combination therapies could strengthen pelvic muscles train nerves with inconti...

background the present data show a global increase in the rate of cardiovascular disease. cardiac ct angiography has developed as a fast and non-invasive cardiac imaging modality following the introduction of multi-slice computed tomogaraphy. conclusions the total mean radiation dose to the thyroid and gonads was 0.36 msv, and 96.5 μsv, respectively for the subjects. these values were high for ...

background: in radiation therapy, peripheral dose or the dose outside the radiotherapy field, is important when anatomical structures with very low dose tolerances are involved. one of these critical organs in pelvic irradiation is testis. the amount of radiation delivered to the testes in radiotherapy must be kept as small as possible, consistent with the limit dose of this organ. the threshol...

Objective: For the patients with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), we used the polypropylene mesh for pelvic floor repair via transvaginal and the laparoscopic routes respectively. This prospective study compared the differences of the prognosis and the short-long term efficacy between the two surgical procedures. Methods: Thirty cases with proven...

OBJECTIVES : Pelvic reconstruction after tumor resection is challenging. METHODS A retrospective study had been preformed to compare the outcomes among patients who received pelvic reconstructive surgery with allogeneic bone graft after en bloc resection of pelvic tumors and patients who received en bloc resection only. RESULTS Patients without reconstruction had significantly lower functio...

BACKGROUND Pelvic exenteration and multivisceral resection in colorectal have been described as a curative and palliative intervention. Urinary tract reconstruction in a pelvic exenteration is achieved in most cases with an ileal conduit of Bricker, although different urinary reservoirs have been described. METHODS A retrospective and observational study of six patients who underwent a pelvic...
