Efficacy of Repeat Midurethral Sling for Persistent or Recurrent Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Fellows Pelvic Research Network Study.

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare quality of life and success rates of repeat midurethral slings (RMUS) using retropubic (RP) and transobturator (TO) routes.

Materials And Methods: Multicenter retrospective cohort with prospective follow-up of patients undergoing RMUS from 2003 to 2016. Prospective Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) were collected by phone.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

Pelvic organ prolapse is the descent of one or more of the anterior vaginal wall, posterior vaginal wall, the uterus (cervix), or the apex of the vagina (vaginal vault or cuff scar after hysterectomy). Prevalence increases with age. The cause of prolapse is multifactorial but is primarily associated with pregnancy and vaginal delivery, which lead to direct pelvic floor muscle and connective tissue injury.

Preoperative uterine bleeding pattern and risk of endometrial ablation failure.

Objective: The objectives of the study were to compare among women who had an endometrial ablation the risks of treatment failure and subsequent gynecological procedures between women with regular and irregular heavy uterine bleeding and to determine other characteristics associated with the risk of treatment failure.

Study Design: This study was a retrospective cohort of 968 women who underwent endometrial ablation between January 2007 and July 2009. Preoperative bleeding pattern was categorized as regular or irregular.
