Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) can be defined as a downward descent of female pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, post-hysterectomy vaginal cuff and the small or large bowel, resulting in protrusion of the vaginal walls, uterus, or both. The International Continence Society includes also rectal prolapses. POP development is multifactorial.

Objective: The objective is to compare robotic sacral colpopexy (RSC) utilizing autologous fascia lata with RSC synthetic mesh in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods: We performed a prospective nonrandomized case comparison trial at single institution. compared either or women symptomatic POP, stages II through IV. primary outcome was anatomic recurrence determined by Pelvic O...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze short-term outcomes of pelvic prolapse surgery using Prolift transvaginal mesh in a teaching hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four patients who received prolapse surgery with Prolift were followed up for 7-26 months. Assessment included pre- and postoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stage, and Urogenital Distress Inven...

Objective To determine whether ventral mesh rectopexy at the time of sacrocolpopexy reduces rate future posterior wall prolapse. Material and Methods This was a retrospective cohort study women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who underwent or without concomitant single community hospital from December 1, 2015 to June 30, 2019. Preoperative quantification (POP-Q) urodynamic testing used in eval...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic sacrocervicopexy for apical support in sexually active patients with pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS One-hundred thirty-five women with symptomatic prolapse of the central compartment (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantitative [POP-Q] stage 2) underwent laparoscopic sacrocervicopexy. The operating physicians used synthetic mesh to att...

Objective: In women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), decreased expression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) has been shown in POP tissues. However, no studies have evaluated plasma TGF-β1 levels patients POP, so it is unknown whether they are also changed or not. Therefore, we compared and without POP. Methods: Participants were 49 23 healthy control women. All participants postmen...

Background/Aim: Recognition and assessment of apical vaginal support defects remains a significant challenge in the evaluation management prolapse because there are no consensus or guidelines address degree loss at which an procedure should routinely be performed. The aim this study was to evaluate whether preoperative genital hiatus (GH), perineal body (PB), total length (TVL) associated with ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the risk of prolapse associated with levator avulsion injury among a urogynaecological clinic population. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Tertiary urogynaecological unit. SAMPLE A total of 934 women seen for interview, examination using the pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) staging system and imaging of the levator ani muscle by four-dime...

AIM OF THE STUDY Aim of the study was to assess the changes in the subjective perception of quality of life in patients who underwent abdominal cervicosacropexy for pelvic organ prolapse. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty patients with diagnosed pelvic organ prolapse (Pelvic Organ Prolapse - Quantification [POPQ] stage IV or IIIC) underwent abdominal supracervical hysterectomy and cervicosacropexy. ...

OBJECTIVE We describe a new parameter based on magnetic resonance 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructions proposed to evaluate levator ani muscle (LAM) laxity in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). STUDY DESIGN This is an institutional review board-approved, retrospective chart review of 35 women with POP, stages I-IV. The 3D Slicer software package was used to perform 2-dimensional and 3D mea...
