Pelvic organ prolapse after 3 modes of hysterectomy: long-term follow-up.

Background: There are various indications and approaches for hysterectomy; yet, the difference in long-term risk of subsequent prolapse after surgery is not well studied.

Objective: To assess the risk of prolapse after abdominal, vaginal, and laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy for up to 17 years from surgery.

Study Design: A retrospective chart review study of women undergoing hysterectomy across all indications (benign and malignant) between 2001 and 2008 was conducted.

The Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To determine the effect of bariatric surgery (BS) on the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFD), specifically on urinary incontinence (UI), pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and fecal incontinence (FI).

Data Sources: A systematic review (PROSPERO registration no. CRD42017068452) with a literature search was performed using the PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO databases for all publications related to BS and PFD, with no language restrictions, from inception to September 2018.
