Purpose: The aim of this retrospective case-control study was to assess clinical factors that can predict the occurrence of post-partum urinary retention (PPUR) and evaluate their influence as independent risk factors.
Methods: Between January 2008 and December 2010, 11,108 vaginal deliveries were performed. 105 women who suffered from PPUR were detected by retrospective data analysis.
Introduction And Hypothesis: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the minimally invasive Ajust™ system in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Methods: This was a prospective multicentre study. All patients with primary urodynamic stress urinary incontinence were prospectively selected to receive the Ajust™ procedure.
Background: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the results of combined rectal and urogynecologic surgery in women with associated obstructed defecation, urinary incontinence, or genital prolapse.
Methods: One hundred forty-two selected patients with obstructed defecation in isolation or associated with urinary incontinence, enterocele, or genital prolapse were consecutively operated on by stapled transanal rectal resection alone or associated with transobturator tape, vaginal repair of the enterocele, or vaginal hysterectomy, respectively, and followed up by clinical controls and defecography.
Results: At 2 years, all symptom, quality-of-life, and defecographic parameters had significantly improved in all groups (P < .
Tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women with low-pressure urethra.

September 2005
Objective: To assess the results of TVT in patients with urinary stress incontinence, urethral hypermobility, and low-pressure urethra.
Study Design: We retrospectively analysed 265 consecutive women who underwent a TVT procedure for urodynamic stress urinary incontinence over a 31-month period. Women were divided into two groups depending on their preoperative maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP).
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare 2 anti-incontinence procedures in women who had severe genital prolapse and potential stress incontinence.
Study Design: In addition to vaginal reconstructive surgery, 50 patients with stage II or higher anterior defect and a positive stress test result with prolapse reduction received either tension-free vaginal tape or plication of the endopelvic fascia. Preoperative evaluation included history, physical examination, stress test, and urodynamic assessment.
Objective: To investigate risk factors and prevalence of anal incontinence among women with pelvic floor dysfunctions.
Methods: We evaluated 881 women with symptoms of urinary incontinence and/or genital prolapse. Each completed a bowel questionnaire and underwent a detailed medical, surgical, obstetric, and gynecologic history, and a pelvic examination.
