nutcracker syndrome (ncs) is a rare pathology, caused by compression of the left renal vein (lrv) between the abdominal aorta (aa) and the superior mesenteric artery (sma), due to reduction of the angle between aa and sma. this leads to lrv varices, left gonadal vein varices and therefore, the pelvic congestion syndrome. for this reason, coexistence of ncs and pelvic congestion syndrome has bee...

Background: The presence of small intestine in the radiation field during pelvic cancers treatment causes an interruption in radiotherapy. A non-invasive method was developed to exclude small intestine during conventional radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: The incidence of the radiation therapy interruption is highly dependent upon the area of the small intestine included in the portals and i...

BACKGROUND Normal vaginal delivery can cause significant strain on the pelvic floor. We present a review of the current knowledge on vaginal delivery as a risk factor for urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse compared to caesarean section. MATERIAL AND METHOD We conducted a literature search in PubMed with an emphasis on systematic review articles and meta-analyses. The search was co...

RATIONALE Pelvic malunion is a rare complication and is technically challenging to correct owing to the complex three-dimensional (3D) geometry of the pelvic girdle. Hence, precise preoperative planning is required to ensure appropriate correction. Reconstructive surgery is generally a 2- or 3-stage procedure, with transiliac osteotomy serving as an alternative to address limb length discrepanc...

BACKGROUND Obstetric fistula and pelvic organ prolapse remain highly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, where women have poor access to modern health care. Women having these problems tend to stay at home for years before getting treatment. However, information regarding the reasons contributing to late presentation to treatment is scarce, especially at the study area. The objective of this study...

BACKGROUND Clinical and radiological outcomes of operatively treated unstable pelvic ring fractures are well documented, whereas little is known about the patient's related outcome. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patient-reported outcome after minimal invasive treatment of pelvic ring fractures using the SF-36 and EQ-5D medical outcome scores. METHODS Patients with unstable pelv...

INTRODUCTION Actinomycosis is a chronic bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces, Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria. Its symptomatology imitates some malignant pelvic tumours, tuberculosis, or nocardiosis, causing abscesses and fistulas. Actinomycoses are opportunistic infections and require normal mucous barriers to be altered. No epidemiological studies have been conducted to determine preval...

J Bone Joint Surg [Br] 2006;88-B:972-5. Received 28 November 2005; Accepted after revision 16 March 2006 Our aim was to assess the intraand inter-observer reliability in the establishment of the anterior pelvic plane used in imageless computer-assisted navigation. From this we determined the subsequent effects on version and inclination of the acetabular component. A cadaver model was developed...
