The aim of this study was to compare ultrasonographic findings on tape position, angulation and mobility following three surgical anti-incontinence procedures (trans-obturator tape (TOT), tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O)) and to correlate these data with clinical signs of cures and failures and de novo voiding disorders. In this prospective study, vesicourethral static and dynamic analysis of 81 patients (30 TOT, 28 TVT, 23 TVT-O) were evaluated using introital ultrasonography. Width, position and appearance of the tape were similar in all three groups, i.e. like a "V" at rest, round angulation on Valsalva and closed angulation at maximum retaining. Moreover, closer angulation on Valsalva was associated with voiding disorders. Closer angulation at retaining was associated with de novo urge incontinence. Larger angulation of the tape at rest appeared to be significantly associated with recurrent stress incontinence. Ultrasonography could a be useful tool assessing anti-incontinence procedures and investigating post-operative voiding disorders.

Risk of Incontinence after Radical Prostatectomy According to Procedural Types: Retrospective Cohort Study Using National Health Insurance Data.
World J Mens Health
December 2024
Department of Urology, Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, Soonchunhyang University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: Although surgical procedures including robotic surgery in radical prostatectomy have evolved, urinary incontinence after surgery are still not resolved. This study was to evaluate the risk of clinically significant incontinence after radical prostatectomy according to various procedural types.
Materials And Methods: The retrospective cohort study included prostate cancer (n=14,484) in South Korea between 2002 and 2017 as shown in the National Health Insurance Data.
LeFort Colpocleisis: Unmet Expectations about Correction of Urinary Symptoms Are Related to Disappointment and Regret.
J Midlife Health

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes, satisfaction, and reasons for disappointment in patients with advanced pelvic organ prolapse who underwent LeFort colpocleisis (LFC).
- Conducted between 2007 and 2021, the study included 141 patients and used surveys to assess their health and satisfaction 61.65 months after surgery.
- Results indicated a low rate of prolapse recurrence and no regrets about sexual function loss; however, persistent urinary incontinence correlated with decreased satisfaction and regret.
Preoperative vaginal microbiome as a predictor of postoperative urinary tract infection.
Sci Rep
November 2024
Department of Surgery, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Microbiome Program, Center for Individualized Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
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.
The Effect of Medicaid Expansion on Access to Anti-incontinence Surgery.
Urogynecology (Phila)
October 2024
From the Albany Medical Center Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Urogynecology, Albany, NY.
Importance: Medicaid expansion broadened access to care; however, limited data about the effect on access to anti-incontinence surgical procedures exist.
Objective: Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansion in 2014, some regions have had more states adopt expansion (NE-Northeast, W-West) than other regions (S-South, MW-Midwest). We aimed to determine if the proportion of Medicaid funded anti-incontinence procedures increased after Medicaid expansion and whether increases were different by U.
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.

Center for Medical Sciences, Federal University of Pernambuco-UFPE, Recife, Pernambuco CEP, Brazil.
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.
