Objectives: Pain is a recognized complication of mid-urethral slings (MUS), which may lead to suburethral sling removal (SSR) alone, or to a more extensive removal approach. We report on the outcomes of women who required an SSR or an additional secondary MUS arm removal for pain only.
Methods: After Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, the charts of nonneurogenic women who underwent SSR for pain only were reviewed.
Introduction: We compared the patient self reported assessment of dryness after an anti-incontinence procedure in women with 3 simple, office based questionnaire items.
Methods: Following institutional review board approval electronic medical records of non-neurogenic women who underwent anterior vaginal wall suspension alone for stress urinary incontinence associated with early stage anterior compartment prolapse were reviewed. Using last visit assessment, responses to Urogenital Distress Inventory-short form question 3 related to stress urinary incontinence, global quality of life score using visual analog scale and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-short form question 7 related to frustration were compared to self reported dry (no/rare leakage) status.
Introduction: We report on the management of intraoperative vaginal cuff perforation during robotic-assisted mesh recto-sacrocolpopexy for vaginal vault prolapse with defecatory dysfunction.
Case Presentation: A 75-year-old woman with vaginal bulge and constipation was to undergo a joint robotic mesh recto-sacrocolpopexy. Intraoperatively, mesh was secured to the left posterior vaginal wall following dissection.
