Tension free monofilament macropore polypropylene mesh (Gynemesh PS) in female genital prolapse repair. (1/30)
OBJECTIVES: To review intraoperative and postoperative complications associated to the correction of cystocele and rectocele with polypropylene mesh macropore monofilament (Gynemesh PS) using transvaginal free tension technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective study of patients that have been submitted to correction of cystocele and/or rectocele between November 2004 and August 2005 in the Urogynecology and Vaginal Surgery Unit of Gynecology and Obstetrics Department, Las Condes Clinic. Mesh was used in 31 patients: 9 for cystocele, 11 for rectocele, and 11 for concomitant meshes. Total mesh used 42. Media age 55 years old, weight 64 kilograms. In 7 patients we used a third mesh for correction of urinary incontinence by TVT-O technique. RESULTS: They did not present intraoperative complications, neither in immediate or delayed postoperative time. We did not observe hematoma, infection, erosion or exposition mesh. Healing of cystocele and rectocele was obtained in 100% of patients, with a pursuit between 1 and 8 months. DISCUSSION: The use of prosthetic polypropylene monofilament macropore mesh in the correction of cystocele and/or rectocele, by transvaginal route with tension free technique seems to be a safe and effective surgery procedure.

There are various surgical methods for the treatment of female urinary stress incontinence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) operation based on a three-year clinical experience and the possibility of its use in the outpatient settings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patients were examined according to a standardized protocol for urinary incontinence and were operated on according to the original "Gynecare TVT" protocol. A total of 57 women were operated on and followed up during the study period (02/25/2000-12/31/2002). The average age was 52 years. Out of them 31 (54.4%) women were after menopause and 56 (97.9%) gave birth. Nine women had operations in their medical histories: five had hysterectomies and the other four were operated on because of urinary incontinence. Besides, five women were operated due to mixed urinary incontinence. Among the operated women, 6 had local anesthesia, 13 had epidural, and 38 had lumbar anesthesia. The average time of the operation was 22.3 minutes. The mean hospital stay was 4.4 days. Five patients were hospitalized for one day. Besides TVT operation, eight patients had anterior colporrhaphy, two patients had posterior colporrhaphy, and two patients had "mesh" application for cystocele treatment. RESULTS: One woman had stress urinary incontinence symptoms after operation (the effectiveness of operation was 98.2%). The main complications were: perforation of the urinary bladder was present in 1 (1.8%) patient and infection of urinary tract - in 4 (7.0%) patients. CONCLUSION: TVT operation is a minimal invasive, fast, safe and very effective surgical procedure for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence, which has to be implemented in Lithuania as a routine outpatient procedure.

INTRODUCTION: Grade 4 cystoceles are among the most challenging to achieve a successful repair for gynaecologists. The high rate of recurrence of severe prolapse encouraged surgeons to use meshes. Only recently have meshes been used transvaginally for pelvic organ prolapse. The aim of our pilot study was therefore to determine the effectiveness of transvaginal anterior colporrhaphy reinforced with prolene mesh in the treatment of severe or recurrent cystoceles by looking at their primary surgical outcomes as well as their complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective study conducted by the urogynaecology unit at KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKWCH) in Singapore based on operations performed from April 2002 to December 2003. The inclusion criterion was that women had to have at least a grade 4 or recurrent grade 3 cystocele and had undergone a vaginal anterior colporrhaphy reinforced with prolene mesh. The women were further subdivided into 3 groups depending on whether vaginal hysterectomies were performed or not as well as the absence or presence of the uterus. RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients with severe cystoceles underwent this procedure. The 3 mean follow-up times for the 3 groups ranged from 14.4 to 19.2 months (range, 2 to 32). Overall for the 3 groups, 75.7% were cured with no or grade 1 cystocele, 18.9% had asymptomatic grade 2 cystocele while 5.4% developed grade 3 or 4 cystocele. There were no mesh erosions. CONCLUSION: Transvaginal anterior colporrhaphy reinforced with a tension-free prolene mesh in the treatment of severe or recurrent cystoceles is simple, safe, easily performed and is associated with a low failure rate and morbidity.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the sonographically measured size of the mesh implant in women who had undergone vaginal polypropylene mesh repair 6 weeks previously correlates with the original size of the mesh and whether the mesh ensures complete support of the anterior or posterior compartment. METHODS: Forty postmenopausal women with anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse and sonographically proven cystocele (n = 20) or rectocele (n = 20) were evaluated preoperatively and 6 weeks after vaginal mesh repair. Introital ultrasound was performed to identify the polypropylene mesh and measure its distal to proximal length and configuration as well as its thickness. The initial mesh length was compared with that measured by ultrasound 6 weeks postoperatively. Vaginal length was measured pre- and postoperatively. RESULTS: The mean +/- SD age of the women was 68 +/- 7 years. The 20 women with cystocele underwent repair by means of anterior transobturator mesh implantation; the initial mesh length was 6.8 +/- 1.1 cm versus 2.9 +/- 0.6 cm postoperatively. The 20 women with rectocele underwent repair by posterior transischioanal mesh implantation; the initial mesh length was 9.9 +/- 0.8 cm versus 3.3 +/- 0.5 cm postoperatively. The mesh supported 43.4% of the length of the anterior vaginal wall and this value was 53.7% for the posterior wall (P = 0.016). CONCLUSION: Sonography is recommended for postoperative evaluation of the anterior and posterior mesh positions after prolapse surgery. There is a considerable discrepancy between the implanted mesh size and the length measured 6 weeks later by postoperative ultrasound. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

OBJECTIVE: At present little information is available to help define whether a certain degree of pelvic organ prolapse is clinically relevant. We performed a retrospective study to define cut-offs for significant pelvic organ descent on the basis of prolapse symptoms. METHODS: At a tertiary urogynecological center, 735 women with symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction and prolapse were seen for interview, clinical examination, multi-channel urodynamics and ultrasound imaging, while supine and after voiding, for prolapse quantification. Women with multi-compartment prolapse, i.e. those in whom no compartment was clearly dominant were excluded. Receiver-operator statistics were used to test pelvic organ descent as a predictor of prolapse symptoms. RESULTS: Mean age was 55.1 years, mean parity 2.8 (range, 0-12). Symptoms of prolapse were reported by 188 women (25.6%). Seventy-four showed a symptomatic multi-compartment prolapse and were excluded, 56 symptomatic women had cystoceles and 48 had rectoceles. Symptomatic cystoceles descended on average to 23.8 mm below the symphysis pubis and symptomatic rectoceles to 21.4 mm below the symphysis pubis. Descent was strongly associated with symptoms of prolapse (both, P < 0.001). Receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) statistics suggested a cut-off of 10 mm below the symphysis pubis for cystocele, and 15 mm below the symphysis pubis for rectocele. ROC curves were similar for both compartments (area under the curve, 0.857 and 0.821, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Descent of the bladder to > or = 10 mm and of the rectum to > or = 15 mm below the symphysis pubis are strongly associated with symptoms, and these values are proposed as cut-offs for the diagnosis of significant prolapse on the basis of ROC statistics. (+info)Anterior vaginal wall length and degree of anterior compartment prolapse seen on dynamic MRI. (6/30)
The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between midsagittal vaginal wall geometric parameters and the degree of anterior vaginal prolapse. We have previously presented data indicating that about half of anterior wall descent can be explained by the degree of apical descent present (Summers et al., Am J Obstet Gynecol, 194:1438-1443, 2006). This led us to examine whether other midsagittal vaginal geometric parameters are associated with anterior wall descent. Magnetic resonance (MR) scans of 145 women from the prior study were suitable for analysis after eight were excluded because of inadequate visibility of the anterior vaginal wall. Subjects had been selected from a study of pelvic organ prolapse that included women with and without prolapse. All patients underwent supine dynamic MR scans in the midsagittal plane. Anterior vaginal wall length, location of distal vaginal wall point, and the area under the midsagittal profile of the anterior vaginal wall were measured during maximal Valsalva. A linear regression model was used to examine how much of the variance in cystocele size could be explained by these vaginal parameters. When both apical descent and vaginal length were considered in the linear regression model, 77% (R (2) = 0.77, p < 0.001) of the variation in anterior wall descent was explained. Distal vaginal point and a measure anterior wall shape, the area under the profile of the anterior vaginal wall, added little to the model. Increasing vaginal length was positively correlated with greater degrees of anterior vaginal prolapse during maximal Valsalva (R (2) = 0.30, p < 0.01) determining 30% of the variation in anterior wall decent. Greater degrees of anterior vaginal prolapse are associated with a longer vaginal wall. Linear regression modeling suggests that 77% of anterior wall descent can be explained by apical descent and midsagittal anterior vaginal wall length.

* A bulge in the vagina that may be felt through the skin
* Pain or discomfort during sexual activity
* Difficulty starting a stream of urine
* Frequent urination
* Increased urgency to urinate
* Leaking of urine
Diagnosis of cystocele is typically made through a physical exam and may also involve imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI. Treatment for cystocele depends on the severity of the condition and may include:
* Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the bladder
* A pessary, which is a device inserted into the vagina to support the bladder
* Surgery to repair or remove the damaged tissue
It's important for individuals experiencing symptoms of cystocele to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

There are different types of hernias, including:
1. Inguinal hernia: This is the most common type of hernia, which occurs in the groin area when a part of the intestine bulges through a weakened area in the abdominal wall.
2. Hiatal hernia: This type of hernia occurs when the stomach bulges up into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm, which is the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen.
3. Umbilical hernia: This type of hernia occurs near the belly button when a weakened area in the abdominal wall allows the intestine or other tissue to bulge through.
4. Ventral hernia: This type of hernia occurs in the abdomen when a weakened area in the muscle or connective tissue allows the intestine or other tissue to bulge through.
5. Incisional hernia: This type of hernia occurs through a previous surgical incision, which can weaken the abdominal wall and allow the intestine or other tissue to bulge through.
Hernias can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
1. Weakened abdominal muscles or connective tissue due to age, injury, or surgery.
2. Increased pressure within the abdomen, such as from heavy lifting, coughing, or straining during bowel movements.
3. Genetic predisposition, as some people may be more prone to developing hernias due to their genetic makeup.
Symptoms of hernias can include:
1. A bulge or lump in the affected area.
2. Pain or discomfort in the affected area, which may be worse with straining or heavy lifting.
3. Feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the abdomen.
4. Discomfort or pain in the testicles, if the hernia is in the inguinal region.
5. Nausea and vomiting, if the hernia is causing a blockage or strangulation.
If you suspect that you or someone else may have a hernia, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Hernias can be repaired with surgery, and prompt treatment can help prevent complications such as bowel obstruction or strangulation.
In addition to surgical repair, there are some lifestyle changes that can help manage the symptoms of hernias and improve overall health. These include:
1. Eating a healthy diet that is high in fiber and low in fat to promote digestive health and prevent constipation.
2. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help soften stool and prevent straining during bowel movements.
3. Avoiding heavy lifting, bending, or straining, as these activities can exacerbate hernias and lead to complications.
4. Getting regular exercise to improve overall health and reduce the risk of developing other health problems.
5. Managing stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, as chronic stress can exacerbate hernia symptoms.
It is important to note that while lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms of hernias, surgical repair is often necessary to prevent complications and ensure proper healing. If you suspect that you or someone else may have a hernia, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
There are several types of prolapse, including:
1. Pelvic organ prolapse: This occurs when the muscles and tissues in the pelvis weaken, causing an organ to slip out of place. It can affect the uterus, bladder, or rectum.
2. Hemorrhoidal prolapse: This occurs when the veins in the rectum become swollen and protrude outside the anus.
3. Small intestine prolapse: This occurs when a portion of the small intestine slides into another part of the digestive tract.
4. Uterine prolapse: This occurs when the uterus slips out of place, often due to childbirth or menopause.
5. Cervical prolapse: This occurs when the cervix slips down into the vagina.
Symptoms of prolapse can include:
* A bulge or lump in the vaginal area
* Pain or discomfort in the pelvic area
* Difficulty controlling bowel movements or urine leakage
* Difficulty having sex due to pain or discomfort
* Feeling of fullness or heaviness in the pelvic area
Treatment for prolapse depends on the type and severity of the condition, and can include:
1. Kegel exercises: These exercises can help strengthen the muscles in the pelvic floor.
2. Pelvic floor physical therapy: This can help improve bladder and bowel control, as well as reduce pain.
3. Medications: These can include hormones to support bone density, as well as pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
4. Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace damaged tissue.
5. Lifestyle changes: Making healthy lifestyle changes such as losing weight, quitting smoking, and avoiding heavy lifting can help manage symptoms of prolapse.
It's important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of prolapse, as early treatment can help improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
Urinary bladder diseases refer to any conditions that affect the urinary bladder, which is a hollow organ in the pelvis that stores urine before it is eliminated from the body. These diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, such as infection, inflammation, injury, or congenital abnormalities.
Types of Urinary Bladder Diseases:
1. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): These are common bacterial infections that affect the bladder, kidneys, ureters, or urethra.
2. Overactive Bladder (OAB): A condition characterized by sudden, intense urges to urinate, often with urgency and frequency.
3. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary symptoms such as hesitant or interrupted flow of urine.
4. Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS): A chronic bladder condition characterized by recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and pelvic area, often accompanied by frequency and urgency.
5. Bladder Cancer: A malignant growth that can occur in the bladder, typically in older adults.
6. Neurological Bladder Dysfunction: Conditions such as spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis can disrupt the nerve signals that control the bladder, leading to urinary dysfunction.
7. Congenital Bladder Anomalies: Birth defects that affect the development of the bladder, such as bladder exstrophy or cloaca.
Symptoms of Urinary Bladder Diseases:
1. Frequent urination
2. Painful urination
3. Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
4. Blood in the urine
5. Pelvic pain or discomfort
6. Incontinence
7. Urgency to urinate
8. Nocturia (waking up frequently to urinate at night)
9. Bladder pressure or discomfort
10. Difficulty starting or stopping the flow of urine
Diagnosis and Treatment of Urinary Bladder Diseases:
1. Physical examination and medical history
2. Urinalysis and urine culture
3. Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI
4. Cystoscopy (insertion of a thin tube with a camera into the bladder)
5. Urodynamic testing (measuring bladder pressure and movement)
6. Biopsy (removing a small sample of tissue for examination)
Treatment options for urinary bladder diseases depend on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms, and may include:
1. Medications such as anticholinergics, antispasmodics, or immunosuppressants
2. Lifestyle changes such as fluid restriction, dietary modifications, or smoking cessation
3. Surgical interventions such as transurethral resection of bladder tumors or bladder augmentation
4. Catheterization or self-catheterization (insertion of a thin tube into the bladder to drain urine)
5. Bladder training and pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the muscles that control urination.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of urinary bladder diseases, as early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes and quality of life.
Symptoms of rectal prolapse may include:
* A bulge or lump near the anus
* Pain or discomfort in the rectal area
* Difficulty controlling bowel movements
* Leaking of stool or gas
* Difficulty sitting or passing stool
If left untreated, rectal prolapse can lead to complications such as:
* Increased risk of anal fissures and skin irritation
* Infection of the rectal area
* Impaired urinary continence
* Increased risk of recurrent prolapse
Treatment options for rectal prolapse depend on the severity of the condition and may include:
* Dietary changes and bowel training to improve bowel habits
* Exercise and physical therapy to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles
* Use of rectal inserts or devices to support the rectum
* Surgery to repair or remove the prolapsed rectum
It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms of rectal prolapse are present, as early treatment can help prevent complications and improve quality of life.
There are several types of POP, including:
1. Cystocele (bladder prolapse): The bladder bulges into the vagina.
2. Rectocele (rectum prolapse): The rectum bulges into the vagina.
3. Uterine prolapse (womb prolapse): The uterus drops from its normal position and moves into the vagina.
4. Small intestine prolapse: A part of the small intestine bulges into the vagina.
Pelvic organ prolapse is caused by weakened muscles and tissues in the pelvis, which can be due to a variety of factors such as childbirth, menopause, obesity, chronic straining during bowel movements, and certain medical conditions like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries.
Treatment options for POP include:
1. Kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles.
2. Lifestyle changes such as losing weight, quitting smoking, and avoiding heavy lifting.
3. Physical therapy to improve pelvic floor muscle function and strength.
4. Surgery to repair or remove damaged tissues and support the pelvic organs.
5. Pelvic mesh implantation to provide additional support to the weakened tissues.
It's important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of POP, as it can have a significant impact on your quality of life and may lead to complications such as urinary tract infections or rectal bleeding if left untreated.
Stress incontinence can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
1. Weakened pelvic floor muscles due to childbirth, aging, or surgery.
2. Damage to the nerves that control the bladder and urethra.
3. Increased abdominal pressure caused by obesity or chronic constipation.
4. Physical activities that put strain on the pelvic floor muscles, such as heavy lifting or strenuous exercise.
5. Neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries that disrupt the communication between the brain and the bladder.
6. Hormonal changes during menopause or pregnancy.
7. Structural problems with the urinary tract, such as a narrowed urethra or a bladder that does not empty properly.
Symptoms of SUI can include:
1. Leaking of urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing.
2. Leaking of urine during physical activity, such as exercising or lifting.
3. Frequent urination or a sudden, intense need to urinate.
4. Urinary tract infections or other complications due to the incontinence.
Diagnosis of SUI typically involves a physical exam and a series of tests to assess the function of the bladder and urethra. Treatment options for SUI can include:
1. Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) to strengthen the muscles that control the flow of urine.
2. Bladder training to help the bladder hold more urine and reduce the frequency of urination.
3. Medications to relax the bladder muscle or increase the amount of urine that can be held.
4. Surgery to repair or support the urinary tract, such as a sling procedure to support the urethra or a mesh implant to support the bladder neck.
5. Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight or avoiding activities that exacerbate the incontinence.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience SUI, as it can have a significant impact on your quality of life and may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. With proper diagnosis and treatment, many people with SUI are able to manage their symptoms and improve their overall health and well-being.
There are several types of UI, including:
1. Stress incontinence: This type of incontinence occurs when the pelvic muscles that support the bladder and urethra weaken, causing urine to leak when there is physical activity or stress on the body, such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting.
2. Urge incontinence: This type of incontinence occurs when the bladder muscles contract too often or are overactive, causing a sudden and intense need to urinate, which can lead to involuntary leakage if the individual does not make it to the bathroom in time.
3. Mixed incontinence: This type of incontinence is a combination of stress and urge incontinence.
4. Functional incontinence: This type of incontinence occurs when an individual experiences difficulty reaching the bathroom in time due to physical limitations or cognitive impairment, such as in individuals with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
The symptoms of UI can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition, but common symptoms include:
* Leaking of urine when there is no intent to urinate
* Frequent urination
* Sudden, intense need to urinate
* Leaking of urine during physical activity or exertion
* Leaking of urine when laughing, coughing, or sneezing
UI can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life, as it can cause embarrassment, anxiety, and social isolation. It can also increase the risk of skin irritation, urinary tract infections, and other complications.
Treatment for UI depends on the type and severity of the condition, but may include:
* Pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the muscles that control urine flow
* Bladder training to increase the amount of time between trips to the bathroom
* Medications to relax the bladder muscle or reduce urgency
* Devices such as pessaries or urethral inserts to support the bladder and urethra
* Surgery to repair or remove damaged tissue or to support the urethra.
It is important for individuals with UI to seek medical attention if they experience any of the following symptoms:
* Sudden, severe urge to urinate
* Pain or burning during urination
* Blood in the urine
* Fever or chills
* Difficulty starting a stream of urine
* Frequent urination at night.
Early diagnosis and treatment can help individuals with UI manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
