Nine years follow-up after TVT-O; the mesh still available for women suffering from urinary incontinence.

Objective: The efficacy of TVT-O is well established in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and patient satisfaction of TVT-O in patients suffering from primary or recurrent SUI or mixed urinary incontinence (MUI).

Methods: A single-center follow-up study was conducted.

Vaginal cuff dehiscence is observed in a higher rate after total laparoscopic hysterectomy compared with other types of hysterectomy.

Introduction: Recently, it has been suggested that the occurrence of posthysterectomy vaginal cuff dehiscence has increased. Consequently, we evaluated the incidence of vaginal cuff dehiscence after different types of hysterectomies. Our hypothesis is that vaginal cuff dehiscence is more often associated with total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) than other types of uterine removal.

A 3-year follow-up after anterior colporrhaphy compared with collagen-coated transvaginal mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse: a randomised controlled trial.

Objective: To compare the 1-year (previously published) and 3-year objective and subjective cure rates, and complications, related to the use of a collagen-coated transvaginal mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse against a conventional anterior repair.

Design: Randomised controlled study.

Setting: Six departments of obstetrics and gynaecology in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark.

Adherence to surgical hand rubbing directives in a hospital district of Southwest Finland.

Background: The primary objective was to measure the compliance with alcohol-based surgical hand rubbing (SHR) among operation room personnel. The secondary objective was to evaluate the effect of feedback sessions on compliance.

Methods: This was a prospective observational before-after intervention study.

[Sepsis after thermoablation and sterilization].

Endometrial ablation is a commonly used procedure in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding. The procedure is considered quite safe, but may also involve severe complications. We present a patient who developed life-threatening sepsis after the procedure.
