The aim of this guideline is to highlight the evidence for different surgical approaches, since the best chance of surgical ‘cure’ for stress incontinence is successful primary surgery. Primary surgery should only be considered after a period of conservative treatment from a specialist therapist has been offered and rejected, or has failed. There is evidence from a Cochrane review that pelvic-f...

OBJECTIVES We performed constricting anterior and posterior colporrhaphy, levator myorrhaphy, and high perineorrhaphy with concurrent hysterectomy, and investigated the intraoperative complications, and short-term outcomes of these constricting procedures in patients aged 75 years or older. METHODS We searched our hospital database for cases, between January 2011 and January 2014, of women ag...

Hypothesis / aims of study In view of the pathophysiology of pelvic floor defects, it is easy to understand that dystopia or prolapse should be investigated in close connnection to stress urinary incontinence (SUI), as both have a common pathophysiology: weak pelvic floor support. It seems clear that a patient with prolapse plus manifest SUI should be treated for both concomitantly. An issue ar...

Abstract Background 3D-printing has become increasingly utilized in the preoperative planning of clinical orthopaedics. Surgical treatment bone tumours within pelvis is challenging due to complex 3D structure geometry, as well proximity vital structures. We present a unique case where composite and nerve model lower lumbar spine, accompanying roots was created using 3D-printing. The 3D-printed ...

Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is an effective treatment for bladder and bowel dysfunction, and also has a role in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain. We report two cases of intractable pain associated with cauda equina syndrome (CES) that were treated successfully by SNS. The first patient suffered from intractable pelvic pain with urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence after surgery fo...

background: ectopic pregnancy (ep) is a prevalent problem and the most common cause of maternal mortality at the first trimester. results from different studies are not consistent regarding the risk factors associated with ep. the current study aimed to investigate about risk factors associated with ep in kermanshah-iran. methods: a case–control study conducted to compare risk factors of ep amo...

BACKGROUND Female pelvic organ prolapse is common and generally thought to worsen over time. This assumption has recently become less plausible, as the author and others have been able to show that mild to moderate pelvic organ descent is common in young, nulligravid women. AIMS To investigate the relationship between age and pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS The records of 1110 women seen for...

In order to help surgeons improve tool insertion accuracy in pelvic-acetabular surgery, it is very important to take advantage of the emerging navigation, guidance and robotics technologies. The computer integrated surgical system is promising for pelvic-acetabular surgery. In most of the procedures of pelvic-acetabular surgery, such as drilling or milling operations, there are many delicate op...
