The aim of the study was to compare the anterior colporrhaphy and the Bologna operation for the treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse associated with genuine urinary incontinence (GSI). Sixty-two women undergoing surgery for GSI and concurrent grade 2-3 cystocele were the subjects of the study. Anterior colporraphy was performed on 31 women (group A) and the Bologna operation on another 31 (group B). The mean follow-up was 3 years (range 2-7). Perioperative complications, including urinary tract infections, occurred in 16% of group A versus 42% of group B (P<0.001). Anatomic success regarding the prolapse was, respectively, 92.9% (26/28) and 84.6% (22/26) (P = 0.25). Subjective cure rates of GSI (patient history) were 57.1% in group A (16/28) and 87% in group B (23/26) (P<0.05). Objective cure rates of GSI (negative stress test result) were 53.6% in group A (15/28) and 84.6% in group B (22/26) (P<0.02). We concluded that the Bologna operation was more effective for treating GSI associated with anterior vaginal prolapse than was anterior colporraphy, with an increased rate of morbidity and postoperative urinary retention.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is prevalent among women, often occurring alongside anterior vaginal wall prolapse. This study compares the efficacy and safety of an improved vaginal wall repair technique with pubocervical fascia fixation versus standard anterior colporrhaphy for treating SUI in women with anterior vaginal wall prolapse.

Methods: A single-centre, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial was conducted between September 2021 and June 2024.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The high recurrence rate (up to 40%) of native tissue surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is concerning and a better understanding of the effect of surgery is essential in optimizing treatment. As physical examination (Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification, POP-Q) underestimates the degree of prolapse, upright assessment may provide new insights. Therefore, we compared supine POP-Q with upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the anatomical effect of native tissue POP surgery on the pelvic anatomy.

Anterior Colporrhaphy and Paravaginal Repair for Anterior Compartment Prolapse: A Review.

Article Synopsis
  • * Two key surgical techniques for treating anterior vaginal wall prolapse are anterior colporrhaphy, which tightens weakened tissues, and paravaginal repair, which reattaches the vaginal wall to its supportive structures.
  • * The review compares these methods in terms of effectiveness, recurrence rates, and complications, suggesting that while anterior colporrhaphy is prevalent, paravaginal repair may yield better outcomes for lateral defects and discussing advancements like minimally invasive surgery options.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to evaluate the clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) rate in women undergoing their first OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) treatment and to investigate factors predictive of initiating CIC.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort of women, who had their first BTX-A treatment for symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome, with a pretreatment urodynamic study (UDS). We reviewed demographic, medical and gynecological history, UDS, pretreatment bladder diaries, objective examinations, BTX-A treatment details, and post-void residual (PVR) reports in the electronic medical record.

Article Synopsis
  • * Data was collected from patients who underwent these surgeries at a hospital in Taiwan over a nine-year period, analyzing pre- and post-operative improvements using Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) scores.
  • * The findings indicated that both surgical methods resulted in significant improvements, but there were no major differences in outcomes or estimated blood loss, although PVR took longer to perform.
