Standing open magnetic resonance imaging improves detection and staging of pelvic organ prolapse.

Introduction: The role of imaging in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) assessment is unclear. Open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems have a configuration that allows for imaging women with POP in different positions. Herein, we use a 0.

Mid-urethral slings on YouTube: quality information on the internet?

Introduction And Hypothesis: Scant literature exists about the quality of urogynecological content on social media. Our objective was to measure the accuracy and comprehensiveness of YouTube videos related to mid-urethral sling (MUS) procedures.

Methods: YouTube was searched using the terms "mid-urethral sling," "vaginal tape," "TVT," "TOT," "TVT surgery," and "TOT surgery.

Evaluation of educational content of YouTube videos relating to neurogenic bladder and intermittent catheterization.

Introduction: Many patients conduct internet searches to manage their own health problems, to decide if they need professional help, and to corroborate information given in a clinical encounter. Good information can improve patients' understanding of their condition and their self-efficacy. Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) featuring neurogenic bladder (NB) require knowledge and skills related to their condition and need for intermittent catheterization (IC).

An integrative review and severity classification of complications related to pessary use in the treatment of female pelvic organ prolapse.

Introduction: Pessary use is the preferred non-surgical treatment option for female pelvic organ prolapse. As pessaries can be used chronically to alter pelvic floor anatomy, consideration of short-and long-term complications is important in patient management. We systematically reviewed articles describing the complications of pessary use to determine frequency and severity.

Positional pelvic organ prolapse (POP) evaluation using open, weight-bearing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is completed in the supine position. Open magnetic resonance imaging (MRO) uses vertical magnets, allowing imaging in a variety of upright postures. This pilot study used MRO to evaluate the change of prolapse in different positions compared to non-prolapsed images.

A rare complication of suprapubic catheterisation following pelvic reconstructive surgery for urinary incontinence.

Suprapubic (SP) catheterisation is commonly used for drainage of the bladder following pelvic surgery. Although it is a widely employed procedure, it is not without complications, such as infection and blockage. The authors report a rare complication of SP catheterisation involving a persistent SP catheter site fistulous tract and an infected haematoma significantly complicating a patient's postoperative course.

A 56-year-old woman with early acute pulmonary emboli following pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a significant cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality. There are few reports on acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) following urogynaecological surgery. The authors report a case of an adult woman who developed a massive acute PE early on postoperative day 1 following a complex reconstructive surgery.
