AI Article Synopsis
- Pelvic organ prolapse negatively impacts quality of life, and its prevalence is rising due to an aging population.
- The tension-free vaginal mesh kit is increasingly preferred as it offers similar success rates to traditional surgery and allows for quicker recovery, but concerns about its long-term safety and effectiveness persist.
- The U.S. FDA advises that patients be fully informed about the potential risks and outcomes associated with tension-free vaginal mesh before deciding on surgery, with the primary goal being the restoration of anatomical normalcy.
Article Abstract
Quality of life is adversely affected by pelvic organ prolapse, the prevalence of which is increasing because of the persistently growing older population. Today, the tension-free vaginal mesh kit has grown in popularity owing to its comparable cure rate to traditional reconstructive surgery and the feasibility of an early return to normal life. However, significant debate remains over the long-term cure rate and the safety of tension-free vaginal mesh in the United States. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends obtaining informed consent about the safety and cure rate when the patient chooses surgery using the tension-free vaginal mesh kit or meshes before surgery. The goal of surgery for pelvic organ prolapse is the restoration of anatomic defects. This review article provides an overview of basic surgical techniques and the results, advantages, and disadvantages of surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.

Investigating Racial, Ethnic, and Socioeconomic Disparities in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery.
Urogynecology (Phila)
January 2025
Department of Urology, Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Importance: Racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities have been observed in the mode of pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Some of the disparities may be attributed to differences in access to care and advanced surgical technology across the United States, although this is difficult to study.
Objective: We aimed to investigate whether racial/ethnic or socioeconomic disparities in a mode of prolapse surgery exist in a managed care setting, where differences in access are minimized.
Colostomies for two lizards with cloacal prolapse.

The Animal Disease Research and Support Association.
Two captive-bred lizards, a Western spiny-tailed iguana (Ctenosaura pectinata) and a bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps), were evaluated for anorexia and absence of feces. The iguana had a recent cloacal prolapse, whereas the dragon had a repaired prolapse 20 days earlier. Exploratory celiotomy under anesthesia revealed a devitalized distal colon in the iguana and stenosis of ductal organs in the pelvic cavity in the dragon, leading to colostomies.

This was an original article, and the objective of this study was to clarify the short-term effects of analgesic delivery on the pelvic floor function of primiparous women. Three hundred primiparas who delivered vaginally in The Affiliated Hospital of Kangda College of Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to July 2022 were enrolled, and were divided into control and intervention groups. The control accepted traditional delivery without special analgesic intervention, while the intervention group accepted intraspinal block analgesia at the time of delivery.
