The incidence of low-pressure urethra as a function of prolapse-reducing technique in patients with massive pelvic organ prolapse (maximum descent at all vaginal sites)

Article Abstract:

Evaluation of the closing pressure of the urethra may identify patients at risk for stress incontinence after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. Some women may periodically leak urine after surgery to prevent the uterus from descending into the vagina. Researchers evaluated techniques to temporarily reduce prolapse during medical examinations in 30 patients with prolapse and 20 patients without the condition. Using the Scopette device in the vagina, low urethral closing pressure was identified in 56% of patients with prolapse, and stress incontinence was induced in 83% of those with prolapse.

Assessment and grading of pelvic organ prolapse by use of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging

Article Abstract:

MRI scans of a woman's pelvis can provide a more accurate assessment of pelvic organ prolapse than a physical exam. During a physical exam, the doctor must use a speculum, which distorts the woman's anatomy. MRI overcomes this disadvantage and can provide a true picture of the woman's anatomy.

Pelvic organ prolapse: anterior, superior, and posterior vaginal segment defects

Article Abstract:

The surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse is discussed. This occurs when the muscles and connective tissue in the floor of the pelvis can no longer support pelvic organs such as the vagina, bladder, uterus and colon.
