Article Synopsis
- This study systematically reviewed research on how body mass index (BMI) affects the outcomes of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery, seeking to understand the impact of obesity on surgical success.
- The authors screened over 9,000 abstracts and included 31 articles in their analysis, focusing on different surgical approaches and outcomes related to obesity categories.
- Findings indicated that patients with a BMI of 30 or higher faced higher odds of prolapse recurrence and complications, particularly with mesh exposure, after various types of POP repair surgery.
Objective: To assess and compile the current level of evidence regarding successful surgical treatment of vesicovaginal fistulae and how these perioperative interventions affect anatomic, patient-centered, and adverse outcomes.
Data Sources: PubMed and EMBASE were searched from inception through September 9, 2022.
Methods Of Study Selection: This review included comparative studies (of any sample size) and single-group studies (1,000 or more participants) of primary or recurrent vesicovaginal fistula (ie, vesicovaginal fistula, urethrovaginal fistula, and bladder neck-vaginal fistula).
Objective: To describe the psychometric properties of existing patient-reported outcome measures for women with prolapse using the COSMIN (Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments) framework. Additional objectives were to describe the patient-reported outcome scoring method or interpretation, methods of administration, and to compile a list of the non-English languages in which the patient-reported outcomes are reportedly validated.
Data Sources: PubMed and EMBASE was searched through September 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine whether midurethral sling mesh should be partially or totally removed in case of complications.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 45 studies found that partial mesh removal resulted in lower rates of postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) compared to total removal.
- Both methods showed similar outcomes in terms of pain, bladder obstruction, and other symptoms, with infrequent adverse events reported.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Several posterior compartment surgical approaches are used to address posterior vaginal wall prolapse and obstructed defecation. We aimed to compare outcomes for both conditions among different surgical approaches.
Methods: A systematic review was performed comparing the impact of surgical interventions in the posterior compartment on prolapse and defecatory symptoms.
