Patient Preparedness for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery
Pelvic Organ ProlapsePatient PreparednessPatient preparedness has been associated with increased patient satisfaction, decreased postoperative pain and decreased postoperative narcotic use; however, little is known regarding the optimal way to prepare patients prior to pelvic reconstructive surgery. The primary aim of this study is to determine if a preoperative counseling in person visit has similar rates of patient preparedness as a preoperative counseling phone call for women undergoing same-day pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Secondary aims evaluate patient satisfaction, postoperative pain scores and postoperative narcotic usage. Women who plan to undergo pelvic organ prolapse surgery will be randomized to a preoperative in person counseling visit or a preoperative counseling phone call. Participants will complete questionnaires to assess their preparedness, satisfaction and postoperative pain. The goal of this study is to gather information that will allow clinicians to improve patient surgical preparedness and satisfaction.
Risk Factors for Recurrence After Pelvic Reconstruction
Pelvic Organ Prolapse232 women underwent transvaginal mesh repair (TVM)with /without transvaginal hysterectomy for symptomatic POP, including group A(accepted herniamesh polypropylene mesh, 117 patients);group B (underwent biological graft of cook,115 patients);follow-ups for six months and one year after the surgery and a questionnaire about the life habits associated with relapse.
Single-incision Sling vs Urethral Bulking During Prolapse Surgery for Occult Stress Incontinence...
Stress IncontinenceFemaleThe aim is to compare outcomes of two different procedures to prevent occult stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in patients who are having pelvic organ prolapse surgeries
Milligan-Morgan Versus Dearterialization With Mucopexy
HemorrhoidsHemorrhoid ProlapseNowadays, there are several methods that can be used for grade III hemorrhoidal disease, according to Goligher classificiation. Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy is considered the most effective treatment in many centers, even if characterized by marked postoperative pain. Among the minimally invasive alternative procedures, the transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization (HAL - ligation of the hemorrhoidal artery) Doppler-guided or without Doppler, associated with mucopexy, seems to gain success, with promising results but still awaiting high-grade scientific evidence. On the basis of this background, we decided to carry out a multi-center survey on a national scale, retrospectively including patients diagnosed with Goligher's grade III hemorrhoidal disease, surgically treated with hemorrhoidectomy or dearterialization.
Caregiver Support and Post-operative Convalescence
Pelvic Organ ProlapseThis is a prospective cohort study designed to investigate the impact of home caregiver support on post-operative convalescence in patients undergoing same day discharge after major urogynecologic surgery. Questionnaires assessing post-operative convalescence will be distributed at several time points after surgery. The main hypothesis is that increased caregiver support in the post-operative period will improve post-operative convalescence of patients undergoing major urogynecologic surgery.
Post-operative Cognitive Function Following Pelvic Floor Surgery
Pelvic Organ ProlapseThe aim of this study is to assess cognitive function before and after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse using sensitive tests of various neurocognitive domains.
Laser Fluorescent Imaging of Nipple and Areola During Breast Lift
Breast SaggingPtosis1 moreBreast lift surgery performed in combination with breast implants is a common cosmetic operation. However, there have been concerns regarding the safety of this treatment combination. Some investigators are concerned that an implant may increase the risk of complications, including loss of circulation to the nipple and areola. This study was undertaken to evaluate the blood supply of the breast using intraoperative laser fluorescent imaging and to determine whether a breast implant compromises blood supply to the nipple and areola.
Prophylactic Uterosacral Ligament Suspension at the Time of Hysterectomy for Prevention of Vaginal...
Prolapse of Vaginal Vault After HysterectomyIs routine uterosacral ligament suspension an appropriate clinical adjunct at the time of hysterectomy? The answers to these questions will facilitate the treatment of many American women. With the results of this study, the investigators would anticipate a reduction in the number of surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse. In addition, if uterosacral ligament suspension was shown to be ineffective, it would not be used routinely in the setting of hysterectomy and women will be spared the additional procedure and possibility of side effects or complications. The relative risks and benefits of adding a prophylactic uterosacral ligament suspension at the time of hysterectomy in women without symptomatic prolapse symptoms have never been studied prospectively.
Dynamic MRI of the Behaviour of Female Pelvic Floor
Stress Urinary IncontinenceGenital ProlapseThe purpose of this study was to test the suitability of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging for the pelvic floor floor, bladder neck and urethra in healthy volunteers, in stress incontinent patient and in women with genital prolapse.
