Genuine urinary stress incontinence (GUSI) is defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as involuntary loss of urine coincident with increased intra-abdominal pressure in the absence of a detrusor contraction or an over-distended bladder. If the patient demonstrates a cystocele secondary to a paravaginal defect, a paravaginal defect repair should be performed before the colposuspension. The laparoscopic retropubic colposuspension gained popularity because of its reported advantages of improved visualization, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and decreased blood loss. A review of our experience revealed 11 of 24 patients had a Burch urethropexy and paravaginal repair and 13 of 24 a Burch urethropexy alone. Average operative time was 80 min, estimated blood loss of less than 50 ml and hospital stays less than 48 h.

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

Medicina (Kaunas)

November 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, Tzu Chi University, Hualien 970, Taiwan.

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.

Comparison of urethral parameters in females presenting cystoceles with and without stress urinary incontinence based on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging: are they different?

Abdom Radiol (NY)

August 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, NanFang Hospital, Southern Medical University, North of Guangzhou Avenue, No. 1838, Guangzhou, 510515, Guangdong, China.

Purpose: To compare urethral parameters between cystocele patients with and without stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and explore factors influencing SUI in cystocele patients via dynamic MRI.

Methods: The two-dimensional parameters evaluated included the paravaginal defects, levator ani muscle defects, urethral length, urethral funnel shape, bladder neck funnel width, bladder neck funnel depth, urethral angle, posterior vesicourethral angle, and anterior bladder protrusion. The three-dimensional parameters included the proximal urethra rotation angle, the distal urethra rotation angle, bladder neck mobility, urethral midpoint mobility, and external urethral meatus mobility.
