Vaginal topography does not correlate well with visceral position in women with pelvic organ prolapse

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.

The biomechanics of vibration and low back pain

This work is a review of the mechanical factors related to low back pain production in a vibration environment. The sitting posture is an extreme orientation for the lumbar intervertebral disc that 1) increases its internal pressure, 2) increases its anteroposterior shear flexibility, while: 3) decreasing its resistance to buckling instability and 4) stressing the posterior region of the disc. Vibration is an additional mechanical stressor. Several studies suggest that the following preventive measures be taken to reduce the risk of low back pain due to driving: 1) minimize the vibration reaching the driver, 2) avoid lifting or bending immediately following driving, and 3) walk around for a few minutes following driving. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Unusual presentation and clinical variability in Belgian pedigrees with progressive external ophthalmoplegia and multiple deletions of mitochondrial DNA

We studied 14 patients from three unrelated Belgian pedigrees with a familial mitochondrial disorder and multiple deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In one family with an oculopharyngeal presentation there is a clear autosomal dominant inheritance. Progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO), “ragged red fibres” (RRF) and multiple deletions of mtDNA are common to all three families. Therefore a diagnosis of autosomal dominant progressive ophthalmoplegia with multiple deletions of mtDNA (adPEO) was made in one family at least. Our data confirm the previous observations that adPEO is a systemic disorder rather than a pure myopathy. In our pedigrees frequently associated features include axonal peripheral neuropathy, dysphagia, psychiatric illness, and sudden death. Mild ataxia, pes cavus and mitral valve prolapse with associated mitral insufficiency also occur. In some cases onset is atypical with neuropathy, adolescent onset myopathy or psychiatric illness. In such cases the common features of PEO and muscle weakness always complete the clinical phenotype later during the course of the disease. Biochemical studies on mitochondrial fractions prepared from one patient's muscle, revealed no abnormalities of respiratory chain enzyme activities.     

Laparoscopic-assisted abdominoperineal proctosigmoidectomy for rectal prolapse

The inability to completely mobilize the redundant colon in perineal rectosigmoidectomy (Altemeier's procedure) for full-thickness rectal prolapse is a main contributor to the recurrence rate associated with the procedure. However, the presence of a redundant sigmoid after the Ripstein procedure or other rectal sling operations is the main cause of the high rate of postoperative constipation and stool impaction. Low anterior resection as the definitive treatment is associated with the higher morbidity of laparotomy and the risk of anastomotic leak. We describe a laparoscopic-assisted surgical approach which combines the benefits of completely resecting the redundant sigmoid colon as well as the performance of extraperitoneal anastomosis at the level of the anus.
