Obesity as a risk for the recurrence of anterior vaginal wall prolapse after anterior colporrhaphy.

Objective: To determine whether obese body mass index is associated with the recurrence of anterior vaginal wall prolapse after anterior colporrhaphy.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of the risk of recurrent anterior prolapse 6 months after anterior colporrhaphy in normal weight/overweight versus obese women from January 2004 to December 2010. Women who underwent a concurrent apical prolapse procedure were excluded.

Lead migration after sacral neuromodulation: surgical revision in fascial versus tined anchoring systems.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Our objective was to compare risk of surgical revision after sacral neuromodulator lead migration based on the type of anchoring system.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients receiving sacral neuromodulation over 7 years. We compared surgical revision due to loss of efficacy accompanied by radiographic lead migration in fascial-anchored versus tined leads.
