Women's quality of life and sexual function after transvaginal anterior repair with mesh insertion.

Objective: Current evidence about the impact of pelvic floor surgery on sexual function is conflicting. Only a few studies have reported with validated questionnaires on sexual function after transvaginal mesh repair, with a discrepancy in reported outcomes. The aim of this study was to prospectively explore the impact of anterior repair (AR) with mesh insertion on sexual function, quality of life and dyspareunia.

[Long-term review on posterior colporrhaphy with levator ani muscles plication and incorporating a Vypro II mesh].

Objective: Pelvic organ prolapse affect 50% of parous women over 50 years of age. The lifetime risk of undergoing a single operation for prolapse or incontinence by age 80 is 11.1%.

[The solution of persistent stress urinary incontinence in women when surgery with the TVT-SECUR* is unsuccessful].

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the procedure of shortening the tape in the treatment of persistent stress urinary incontinence when the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) SECUR procedure proves unsuccessful.

Design: Retrospective study.

Settings: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and General Teaching Hospital, Prague.

Correlation between changes in ultrasound measurements and clinical curative effect of tension-free vaginal tape-SECUR* procedure.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The hypotheses of this study were that the TVT-SECUR procedure restricts urethral mobility, which leads to a greater likelihood of curative effect, and that the restriction might change over time.

Methods: Analyses of the position of the urethra and the tape of 85 patients who underwent the TVT-S procedure were performed using perineal ultrasonography. The efficacy of the TVT-S procedure was evaluated by cough test and by the questionnaire ICIQ-UI SF.

Initial experience with a short, tension-free vaginal tape (the tension-free vaginal tape secur system).

Objective: The aim of this study is to present our first experience with a novel modification of the tension-free sling idea and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this new procedure for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women.

Study Design: Eighty-five women with previously untreated stress urinary incontinence were recruited to participate in a clinical study. The efficacy of this surgical procedure was evaluated perioperatively and 3 months (+/-1 week) after operation--objectively by cough test and subjectively by the questionnaires Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form.
