OBJECTIVE To investigate the anatomical cure rate and complications related to collagen-coated mesh for cystocele, compared with a conventional anterior colporrhaphy. DESIGN A randomised controlled study. SETTING Six departments of obstetrics and gynaecology in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. POPULATION Women aged 55 years or older, referred for surgery with a prolapse of the anteri...

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is common among multiparous elderly women. POP related to obstructive anuria is very uncommon, but can be life-threatening if untreated. In this report, the patient survived from a septic shock with multidisciplinary treatment and was completely cured of POP after tension-free vaginal mesh repair.

Abstract Background Pelvic organ prolapse can be repaired vaginally or laparoscopically. Studies comparing vaginal repair with sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) uterosacral suspension (V-USLS) have found no difference in functional adverse outcomes. Laparoscopic USLS (L-USLS) is becoming a popular treatment for pelvic because it has low rate of ureteral compromise. To date, studies compared...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction may cause urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), pain, and sexual disturbances. The aim of the present study is to review the literature on the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to prevent and treat POP, and the possible theories and mechanisms on how PFMT could prevent or reverse prolapse. RESULTS...

Pregnancy and birth after a Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) surgery is a rare condition and less is known about the method for delivery. A 31-year-old women with gravida 3 para 3 underwent abdominal sacrohysteropexy and transobturatuar tape (TOT) procedures for stage III prolapse who delivered via vaginal birth and showed no relapse. Sacrohysteropexy is a good option for women with POP who desire f...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate patients having pelvic organ prolapse (POP) stage 2 and greater who have undergone vaginal hysterectomy concomitant with sacrospinous ligament fixation (VAH + SLF) or total laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (TLH SCP) in terms quality life, sexual function, major minor complications, cure rates. We also aimed determine which procedure is superior ac...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of stabilization exercises and pelvic floor muscle training in women with stage 1 and 2 pelvic organ prolapse. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a total 38 women with pelvic organ prolapse whose average age was 45.60 years, pelvic floor muscles were evaluated with electromyography, and prolapse with pelvic organ prolapse quantification system, an...

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and pessaries are commonly used in the conservative treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Because there is a lack of evidence regarding the optimal choice between these two interventions, we designed the "Pelvic Organ prolapse in primary care: effects of Pelvic floor muscle training and Pessary treatment Study" (POPPS). POPPS consists of two parallel open...

Aim: To assess the role of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POPQ) system in the evaluation of female pelvic organ prolapse. Design: Prospective study. Setting: Tanta University Hospital. Patients: The study was carried out on 60 patients having clinical manifestations suggesting pelvic floor weakness. Intervention: All the patients were subjected to his...

BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the relationship between depressive symptoms (DS) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) symptoms and quality of life (QoL). Our hypothesis was that women with DS and POP have worse symptoms and QoL than those without DS and POP. AIM Our aim was to compare two groups of POP patients, those with depressive symptoms and those without, and evaluate the association of...
