Feasibility and outcome of vaginal paravaginal repair using the Capio suture-capturing device.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This investigation describes the feasibility and outcome of vaginal paravaginal repair (VPVR) performed using the Capio suture-capturing device.

Methods: This prospective study included 36 women with paravaginal fascial defects, symptomatic stage II to IV anterior vaginal wall prolapse, and uterine prolapse equal or more than stage 2. VPVR was performed using the Capio device.

Rising use of synthetic mesh in transvaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery: a review of the risk of vaginal erosion.

Recently, the use of surgical mesh in pelvic floor surgery has become increasingly popular. While the reduction of surgical failure rates in vaginal reconstructive surgery is of critical importance, the addition of graft materials must be shown to improve anatomical outcomes and at least maintain, if not improve, lower urinary tract, bowel, and sexual function, as well as quality of life for the patient. Synthetic materials still have several disadvantages including vaginal erosion.

Does water delivery affect pelvic floor? Ultrasound evaluation of perineal function.

Objective: The aim of the study is to analyse urethral mobility and excursion of the pubo-rectal angle, using perineal ultrasound, after normal vaginal delivery and water delivery.

Materials And Methods: A total of 52 primiparous women were enrolled: 25 who had delivery in water (W Group), 27 who had delivery without using water (NW Group). Every woman underwent perineal ultrasound assessment at 6 months after having given birth.
