Objectives: To establish whether the short-term risks of prolapse surgery are increased by a concomitant anti-incontinence procedure.
Methods: Using data from the past 4 years of the National Hospital Discharge Survey, we identified women admitted for surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (specifically, suspension of the vagina or obliteration of the cul-de-sac, with or without concomitant hysterectomy or vaginal repairs). We identified women diagnosed with complications (including infections, bleeding complications, surgical injuries, pulmonary complications, and cardiovascular complications). We used multiple logistic regression analysis to compare women with and without complications with respect to concurrent continence procedures, controlling for demographic characteristics, concurrent procedures, and medical comorbidity (using the Charlson index).
Results: Of the 1931 women who underwent prolapse surgery, concomitant anti-incontinence procedures were performed in 514 (26.6%). Complications were reported in 288 patients (14.9%) and were associated with medical comorbidity (odds ratio 11.2) and concomitant hysterectomy (odds ratio 1.5). Concomitant surgery for incontinence was not associated with an increased risk of complications.
Conclusions: These data suggest that medical comorbidity is strongly associated with complications after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. A concomitant anti-incontinence procedure did not significantly increase the immediate morbidity of prolapse surgery.

Preoperative vaginal microbiome as a predictor of postoperative urinary tract infection.

Article Synopsis
- This study involved 22 postmenopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse set to undergo vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic reconstructive surgery, and it focused on the relationship between their vaginal microbiome and postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Researchers collected vaginal and urine samples at five different times during the surgical process to analyze the microbiome, particularly looking for changes in bacteria types through DNA sequencing.
- The results showed that women who developed UTIs post-surgery had a unique vaginal microbiome profile, featuring low levels of Lactobacillus and higher levels of Prevotella and Gardnerella, suggesting that preoperative microbiome analysis can help predict UTI risk after the surgery.
Occult Urinary Incontinence, Diabetes, Obesity, Prolapse Severity, and Type of Surgical Repair as Risk Factors for De Novo Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women Undergoing Surgical Repair of Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: The International Continence Society and the International Urogynecological Association have not yet standardized the definition of de novo stress urinary incontinence. Recent studies define the development of stress urinary incontinence as occurring after surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse in previously continent women. The mechanisms that cause de novo stress urinary incontinence are not yet clear.

Objectives: To evaluate whether peri-operative changes in voiding function, pelvic organ descent and urethral mobility predict improvement in urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) following prolapse surgery.
Methods: A retrospective study of women undergoing prolapse surgery without a history of or without a concomitant anti-incontinence surgery at a tertiary unit between 2005 and 2019. All patients underwent a pre- and post-operative standardised interview, POP-Q examination, uroflowmetry and 4D translabial ultrasound.
Retropubic Versus Transobturator Midurethral Slings at Time of Colpocleisis.

Importance: This study aimed to evaluate if there is a difference between outcomes when retropubic or transobturator midurethral sling surgery is performed at the time of colpocleisis.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of the retropubic midurethral sling (RP-MUS) versus the transobturator midurethral sling (TO-MUS) in women who underwent concomitant colpocleisis, specifically 2-year MUS failure and 1-year lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs). A secondary aim was to identify factors associated with these surgical outcomes.
This is a single Institute, prospective cohort study. We collected twenty- two postmenopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse planning to undergo vaginal hysterectomy with transvaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery, with or without a concomitant anti-incontinence procedure. Vaginal swabs and urine samples were longitudinally collected at five time points: preoperative consult visit (T1), day of surgery prior to surgical scrub (T2), immediately postoperative (T3), day of hospital discharge (T4), and at the postoperative exam visit (T5).
