Since 2004, use of synthetic mesh has increased in vaginal surgery for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. However, concerns exist about the safety and efficacy of transvaginally placed mesh. Based on the currently available limited data, although many patients undergoing mesh-augmented vaginal repairs heal well without problems, there seems to be a small but significant group of patients who experience permanent and life-altering sequelae, including pain and dyspareunia, from the use of vaginal mesh. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Urogynecologic Society provide background information on the use of vaginally placed mesh for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse and offer recommendations for practice. 相似文献

Vaginal vascular malformation (VVM) is rare. There are, in fact, less than ten cases reported to date. VVM often presents as a mass protruding from the vagina, mimicking pelvic organ prolapse (POP). It can coexist with POP, thereby usually exaggerating the severity of POP. We report a case of VVM in a premenopausal woman who presented as severe POP and urinary incontinence. The diagnosis was confirmed with computed tomography (CT) scan and angiography. The patient underwent conservative management with embolization. These procedures had to be repeated three times in 1.5 years due to lesion recurrence. In mitigation, conservative treatment eliminates the risks associated with surgery, e.g. massive hemorrhage and visceral injuries. It does, however, require a long course of treatment and follow-up. 相似文献

Introduction and hypothesis
Vaginal pessaries may offer symptomatic improvement for women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or urinary incontinence (UI). This study aimed to investigate multidisciplinary perspectives on vaginal pessary use in clinical practice and to understand the service organisation of vaginal pessary care for women with these conditions.Methods
A pretested, anonymous survey was e-mailed to members of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the Association for Continence Advice and the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Women’s Health in the UK.Results
A total of 678 respondents, from medical, nursing and physiotherapy professions, consented to survey participation and provided useable data (response rate 20.7 %). Doctors were significantly more likely to report involvement in pessary care than nurses or physiotherapists. Respondents were optimistic about the success of pessary treatment; however, a lower proportion reported using pessaries for UI than for prolapse. The majority of respondents used ring pessaries and shelf pessaries, most recipients were older women, and commonly an indication for fitting a pessary was that the woman was unfit for surgery. More than 15 % of respondents providing pessary care had not received training. Follow-up services for women with pessaries varied considerably.Conclusions
The variation in pessary care delivery and organisation requires further study in order to maximise efficiency and effectiveness. The development of nurse- or physiotherapist-led models of care may be appropriate, but the effectiveness of such models requires testing. Furthermore, to potentially improve outcomes of pessary care, a greater understanding of the availability, content and process of training may be warranted. 相似文献5.

Introduction and hypothesis
The pathophysiology of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is incompletely understood. The purpose of this study is to describe the current knowledge about histology of the vaginal wall and its possible involvement in the pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse.Methods
Eligible studies were selected through a MEDLINE search covering January 1986 to December 2012. The research was limited to English-language publications.Results
Investigations of changes in the vaginal tissue that occur in women with genital prolapse are currently still limited and produced contrary results. The heterogeneity of the patients and the control groups in terms of age, parity and hormonal status, of the localization of biopsies and the histological methods as well as the lack of validation of the quantification procedures do not allow clear and definitive conclusions to be drawn.Conclusions
This review shows that current knowledge of the histological changes observed in women with POP are inconclusive and relatively limited. More studies are needed in this specific field to better understand the mechanisms that lead to POP. 相似文献6.

To compare the smooth muscle content and apoptosis of the vagina in women with and without anterior vaginal wall prolapse.
Vaginal tissues were sampled in women with (n = 6) or without (n = 6) anterior vaginal wall prolapse undergoing hysterectomy. Smooth muscle of the vagina was studied by immunohistochemistry.
Digital image analysis was used to determine the fractional area of smooth muscle in the histologic cross-sections. Apoptosis
was assessed by TUNEL assay. The fractional area of non-vascular smooth muscle in the vagina of women with anterior vaginal
wall prolapse was significantly decreased compared to women without prolapse (0.36 ± 0.12 vs. 0.16 ± 0.12 P = 0.021) and the apoptotic index was significantly higher compared to women without prolapse (0.04 ± 0.01 vs. 0.02 ± 0.03,
P = 0.041). The fraction of smooth muscle in the vagina is significantly decreased and the rate of apoptosis is higher in women
with anterior vaginal wall prolapse compared to women without prolapse. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We compared sexual function in women with pelvic organ prolapse to that in women without prolapse. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected sexual function data using a standardized, validated, condition specific questionnaire. The study group consisted of 30 women with pelvic organ prolapse and it was compared with 30 unmatched controls without evidence of prolapse. RESULTS: The 2 groups were similar in age, race, parity and postmenopausal hormone use. Subjects in the study group were more likely to have undergone previous pelvic surgery. Mean total Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire scores +/- SD were lower in the study group compared with controls (81.4 +/- 7.3 vs 106.4 +/- 15.5, p <0.001). In the study group total questionnaire scores in women with prior pelvic surgery were similar to those in women without prior pelvic surgery (79.3 +/- 14.9 vs 82.9 +/- 10.2, p = 0.61). CONCLUSIONS: Pelvic organ prolapse appears to have a significant negative impact on sexual function. 相似文献

Introduction and hypothesis
The objective of this study was to assess the performance of a semiautomated pelvic floor measurement algorithmic model on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images compared with manual pelvic floor measurements for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) evaluation.Methods
We examined 15 MRIs along the midsagittal view. Five reference points used for pelvic floor measurements were identified both manually and using our semiautomated measurement model. The two processes were compared in terms of accuracy and precision.Results
The semiautomated pelvic floor measurement model provided highly consistent and accurate locations for all reference points on MRI. Results also showed that the model can identify the reference points faster than the manual-point identification process.Conclusion
The semiautomated pelvic floor measurement model can be used to facilitate and improve the process of pelvic floor measurements on MRI. This will enable high throughput analysis of MRI data to improve the correlation analysis with clinical outcomes and potentially improve POP assessment. 相似文献16.
The objective was to determine whether vaginal topography accurately predicts the location of the pelvic viscera on fluoroscopy
in women with pelvic organ prolapse. Eighty-nine women undergoing preoperative evaluation for reconstructive pelvic surgery
at a tertiary care referral practice formed the study population. Each woman completed a comprehensive urogynecologic history
and physical examination, which included a quantified (POP-Q) assessment of her vaginal topography, as described by Bump et
al. In addition each woman underwent pelvic floor fluoroscopy (PFF). Visceral sites were selected which corresponded clinically
to the vaginal sites measured by the POP-Q. The most dependent portion of the bladder, small intestine, rectum and urethrovesical
junction was measured. Twenty-five (28%) women had stage II prolapse, 34 (38%) had stage III prolapse, and 28 (32%) had stage
IV prolapse. The remaining 2 women were symptomatic, with stage I prolapse. For the entire study population there was no correlation
between the fluoroscopic position of the small bowel and/or rectum and any apical or posterior wall POP-Q site (C, Ap or Bp).
There was no correlation with the fluoroscopic position of the UVJ at rest or with straining and the corresponding POP-Q site
(Aa). The fluoroscopic position of the most dependent portion of the bladder correlated only modestly with the upper (Ba,ρ=0.51) and lower Aa,ρ=0.68) anterior vaginal wall POP-Q sites. In women without prior surgery (n=33) there was only modest correlation between the fluoroscopic position of the bladder and the corresponding POP-Q site (Aa,ρ=0.71). In this unoperated subpopulation there was no correlation with PFF and any other POP-Q site. In women who had undergone
prior hysterectomy (n=25) or hysterectomy with anterior and/or posterior colporrhaphy (n=17), there was only a modest correlation of the most dependent portion of the bladder and the upper anterior vaginal wall
site (Bb,ρ=0.67 andρ=0.55, respectively). It was concluded that vaginal topography does not reliably predict the position of the associated viscera
on PFF in women with primary or recurrent pelvic organ prolapse.
EDITORIAL COMMENT: The authors seek to evaluate whether physical examination of vaginal prolapse using the POP-Q test correlates
with fluoroscopic findings of visceral position. Surprisingly, little correlation is found, even in previously unoperated
patients. One reason for this lack of correlation between the two modalities of evaluation may lie in the use of two different
fixed points of reference: the POP-Q examination uses the hymen as the fixed point of reference, whereas the investigators
chose to use the posterior edge of the femur as a fixed bony point of reference when evaluating pelvic floor fluoroscopy in
the same patient. The lack of correlation between visual inspection of vaginal wall prolapse and what lies deep to that prolapse
should not be used to invalidate the use of the POP-Q as a means to evaluate pelvic prolapse. Rather, the findings support
the premise behind the ICS/AUGS/SGS committee on pelvic organ prolapse, specifically that clinical pelvic examination of the
vaginal walls looks at surfaces only, and as such cannot determine what, if any, organ lies deep to that surface. 相似文献
