INTRODUCTION Since many years, plastic and reconstructive surgery in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has been performed by vaginal mesh surgery. Although warnings from the scientific societies and the FDA have been published, vaginal mesh surgery still remains a routine treatment of genital prolapse in the female. BACKGROUND Many third-degree referral centres in operative gynaecology found a high...

BACKGROUND Pelvic floor muscle training can reduce prolapse severity and symptoms in women seeking treatment. We aimed to assess whether this intervention could also be effective in secondary prevention of prolapse and the need for future treatment. METHODS We did this multicentre, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial at three centres in New Zealand and the UK. Women from a longitudina...

Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition that occurs in parous women and affects the quality of life of women. The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of recurrent prolapse. Materials and methods: In a cross-sectional study evaluated 365 women attending two public centers of Ilam, West of Iran. Sampling was done by the simple random sampling method. All women parti...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair on overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in women with POP and the effect of baseline POP severity on improvement in OAB after surgical repair of POP. And we also tried to identify any preoperative factors for persistent postoperative OAB symptoms. METHODS A total of 87 patients with coexisting PO...

purpose: to investigate the incidence, mechanisms, characteristics, and visual outcomes of traumatic wound dehiscence following keratoplasty. methods: medical records of 32 consecutive patients with traumatic globe rupture following keratoplasty who had been treated at our center from 2001 to 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. results: the study population consisted of 32 eyes of 32 patients i...

The occurrence of cervical prolapse during pregnancy is uncommon. Fewer than 245 cases have been reported in the literature, and only 5 have been reported since 1968.3 Most cases were reported before 1900. In 1941 Keettel reported only 1 case in 13,000 deliveries, and in 1944 KibeI reported a ratio of 1 in 15,696 deliveries. The incidence of uterine prolapse in India is much more common, estima...

BACKGROUND Few data exist on the relation of the 3-dimensional morphology of mitral valve and degree of mitral regurgitation (MR) in mitral valve prolapse. METHODS AND RESULTS Real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography of the mitral valve was acquired in 112 subjects, including 36 patients with mitral valve prolapse and significant MR (≥3+; MR+ group), 32 patients with mitral va...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is generally a late-onset multisystem disorder characterized by: bilateral renal cysts; cysts in other organs including the liver, seminal vesicles, pancreas, and arachnoid membrane; vascular abnormalities including intracranial aneurysms, dilatation of the aortic root, and dissection of the thoracic aorta; mitral valve prolapse; and abdomina...

Purpose: To demonstrate an approach to the problems of cataract surgery in extensive iridoschisis Methods: Four eyes of 2 patients with extensive iridoschisis had cataract surgery by the same surgeon using the techniques that resembled techniques for phacoemulsification in intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS). We used low flow parameters on phacoemulsification, used super-cohesive ophthal...
