Frailty and pelvic organ prolapse: Colpocleisis with or without hysterectomy as a treatment modality in elderly patients.

Introduction: The rising prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in the aging population underscores the need to reevaluate treatment options. This study examines obliterative procedures, specifically colpocleisis performed with (CH) and without (C) concomitant vaginal hysterectomy, as management strategies for frail, non-sexually active elderly patients with advanced prolapse.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from patients who underwent either colpocleisis with concomitant vaginal hysterectomy (CH) or colpocleisis alone (C) at our institution between 2006 and 2020.

The association between BMI, episiotomy, and obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) in singleton vaginal deliveries.

Objective: Prevalence of obesity in reproductive age and pregnant women has been on the rise during the past several decades. The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) or episiotomy has not yet been thoroughly investigated. The objective of this study was to shed light on this issue.

Colporrhaphies versus Colpocleisis Following Vaginal Hysterectomy for the Treatment of Advanced Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Comparative Study.

Background: Obliterative vaginal procedures may offer lower perioperative morbidity and equal success rates as reconstructive procedures for frail and elderly women who no longer desire future coital function. The combination of vaginal hysterectomy with either reconstructive or obliterative vaginal procedures has not yet been investigated.

Objectives: To compare peri- and postoperative outcomes of vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor reconstruction (VHR) vs.

Evaluation of blood type as a potential risk factor for hemorrhage during vaginal hysterectomy.

Objective: To examine the association between the O blood type and bleeding tendency in patient undergoing vaginal hysterectomy.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study including all women who had undergone vaginal hysterectomy at our institution between January 2015 and September 2020. All women underwent blood type and complete blood count testing pre- and post-operatively.
