Validation of the French version of the P-QoL questionnaire.

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate a French version of the prolapse-quality-of-life-questionnaire (P-QoL).

Study Design: The P-QoL was translated into French and administered to patients recruited in a tertiary referral teaching Hospital. The women concomitantly had a vaginal exam in supine position in order to determine prolapse stage using Pelvic Organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q).

Complications associated with transobturator sling procedures: analysis of 233 consecutive cases with a 27 months follow-up.

Background: The transobturator tape procedure (TOT) is an effective surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. However data concerning safety are rare, follow-up is often less than two years, and complications are probably underreported. The aim of this study was to describe early and late complications associated with TOT procedures and identify risk factors for erosions.

Incidence rate and risk factors for vaginal vault prolapse repair after hysterectomy.

Our objective was to estimate the incidence and identify the risk factors for vaginal vault prolapse repair after hysterectomy. We conducted a case control study among 6,214 women who underwent hysterectomy from 1982 to 2002. Cases (n = 32) were women who required vaginal vault suspension following the hysterectomy through December 2005.
