Delivery Method and Risk for Urogenital Prolapse 15-20 Years Later

Uterine ProlapseUrinary Incontinence1 more

The lifetime risk for a woman to undergo surgery for either vaginal prolapse or urinary incontinence is high. Previous studies have shown that pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for developing prolapse. There is a lack of studies that follow women several years after delivery aiming to find whether symptoms of prolapse are linked to delivery method, ie vacuum, forceps, normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section. The investigators plan this study is to get more knowledge about pathology of prolapse and incontinence, to enable development of preventive strategies for these conditions. Aim of the study is to determine whether the prevalence of symptoms and performed surgery for urogenital prolapse differs among women delivered by vacuum, forceps, normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section 15-20 years after their first delivery. The investigators identify women that delivered their first child at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim, Norway between 1990-1997. Questionnaires will be sent to 2500 women (PFIQ-7, PFDI-20, PISQ-12), 600 of whom will get a clinical examination, where pelvic floor musculature is examined by palpation and 4D ultrasound, and a POP-Q quantification of prolapse performed.

Early Activation of Artificial Urinary Sphincter

IncontinenceUrinary

Urinary incontinence or loss of bladder control is a troublesome issue for all affected patients. The causes of urinary incontinence and its treatment options vary widely. A commonly encountered reason for urinary incontinence in men is related to treatment for prostate cancer. These treatment options can range from surgical removal of the prostate, external beam radiation therapy, and/or brachytherapy, the insertion of radioactive implants directly into the tissue. Mild cases of incontinence are responsive to more conservative measures, but moderate to severe cases often require placement of an artificial urinary sphincter. Typically, these devices are left deactivated for a period of 4- 6 weeks following implantation to allow swelling to subside before use. The investigators hypothesize that the device could be activated within an earlier timeframe without increasing the risk of complications. No studies to date have evaluated this; therefore the investigators plan to conduct a prospective study in which the investigators will activate the device 3 weeks after placement and monitor for complications.

Proteomic Pattern in Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: a Pilot Study

Female Stress Urinary Incontinence

Objective: The primary objective of the study is the comparison of protein concentrations between patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and healthy controls. Aim: This pilot study aims to determine a possible altered protein profile in women suffering from SUI, compared to healthy women and therefore to discriminate a potential protein biomarker for SUI. Main outcome measure: mass spectrometric measuring of urinary proteomic secretome in diseased and healthy subjects (sequence coverage and number of identified proteins) Trial design: Prospective case- control study Setting: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Medical University of Vienna in co- operation with the Core Facilities Proteomics of the Medical University of Vienna Population: Twenty female patients with SUI and twenty healthy patients who attend the outpatient clinic of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical University of Vienna (sample size calculation FDR 0.05, power of 80%, assumed proportion of true H0 0.95, assumed standardized effect size of 1) Methods: Examinations to be carried out: patient history, provocative stress test, ICIQ short form questionnaire, residual urine volume (ultrasound) and urine analysis (dipstick testing). A urine sample is obtained from the patient after spontaneous micturition, to which protease inhibitor will be added immediately. Two serum blood vials (each 9ml) are taken from a peripheral vein of the patient for routine laboratory and further research. Proteomics analysis will be performed using chromatographic separation (LC) with mass spectrometric detection (MS).

To Evaluate the Use of Bioresorbable Tephaflex™ Sling for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a major public health issue affecting up to 25-50% of all women and has a detrimental impact on patient quality of life. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common form of urinary incontinence and is defined as the leakage of urine, which occurs during physical activity of exertion or on sneezing or coughing. It has been reported that the prevalence of SUI is 25 to 45% of the female population. If pelvic floor exercises are not effective, mid-urethral slings (MUS) are widely used as a first-line surgical treatment. Subjective and objective cure rates of 91% and 85% respectively have been reported for retropubic midurethral slings. Midurethral slings are commonly made of polypropylene (PP). Although the polypropylene products are effective and have relatively low rates of adverse events, the adverse events that do occur, like exposure and pain, have been related to the fact that a permanent synthetic mesh is implanted. Mesh-related complications are difficult to manage and may even involve partial or complete removal of the implant. Clinically, there is a need to investigate whether mid-urethral sling surgery can be performed with a non-permanent mesh made from a resorbable biomaterial, as an alternative for PP. Non-permanent meshes may be associated with fewer complications and better quality of life. However, before non-permanent and permanent mesh procedures can be compared, there is a need to first establish the feasibility of using a mesh in a mid-urethral sling procedure. The investigators hypothesize that a retropubic mid-urethral sling procedure to treat stress urinary incontinence, can be successfully performed using an implant made of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB).
