Symptoms of voiding dysfunction and other coexisting pelvic floor dysfunctions: the impact of transvaginal, mesh-augmented sacrospinous ligament fixation.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to investigate the prevalence for voiding dysfunction and if symptom improvement can be achieved by adequate pelvic floor surgery.

Methods: We evaluated the Propel Study data from 281 women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) stage 2-4. Bother caused by obstructive micturition, voiding dysfunction, and coexisting pelvic floor symptoms were assessed using the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) preoperatively and 6, 12, and 24 months after vaginal prolapse repair.

The impact of sacrospinous ligament fixation on pre-existing nocturia and co-existing pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To evaluate whether nocturia and coexisting pelvic floor symptoms in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can be improved by ligamentous fixation of apical vaginal prolapse to the sacrospinous ligament.

Methods: We evaluated the PROPEL study data from 281 women with pelvic organ prolapse stage > 2. Bothersome nocturia and coexisting pelvic floor symptoms were assessed with the Pelvic Floor Disorder Inventory (PFDI) questionnaire preoperatively and at 6, 12 and 24 months after successful vaginal prolapse repair.
