Pelvic Pain of Myofascial Origin in Women: Correlation with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms.

Introduction: Women with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and high-tone pelvic floor often experience pain and have positive trigger points upon pelvic floor examination. However, the correlation of these findings has not yet been systematically examined and sufficiently understood. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to examine the correlation of pelvic myofascial pain with LUTS and pelvic floor tone.

International Urogynecology consultation chapter 2 committee 3: the clinical evaluation of pelvic organ prolapse including investigations into associated morbidity/pelvic floor dysfunction.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This manuscript from Chapter 2 of the International Urogynecology Consultation (IUC) on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) reviews the literature involving the clinical evaluation of a patient with POP and associated bladder and bowel dysfunction.

Methods: An international group of 11 clinicians performed a search of the literature using pre-specified search MESH terms in PubMed and Embase databases (January 2000 to August 2020). Publications were eliminated if not relevant to the clinical evaluation of patients or did not include clear definitions of POP.

Management of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse after sacrocolpopexy. A video case series.

Introduction: The aim of this video case series is to demonstrate our experience with the surgical management of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse after sacrocolpopexy.

Methods: This is a series of seven patients who developed recurrent pelvic organ prolapse stage 2 or greater after sacrocolpopexy. The video shows short clips on the individualized surgical management using a laparoscopic approach.

Functional outcome after laparoscopic nerve-sparing sacrocolpopexy: a prospective cohort study.

Introduction: To date sacrocolpopexy is regarded as the reference standard treatment for primarily apical compartment prolapse and multicompartment prolapse. Most bladder and bowel dysfunction improves postoperatively after sacrocolpopexy; however, de novo bowel or de novo bladder dysfunction can occur. The inferior hypogastric nerve is commonly known among pelvic surgeons.
