Dynamic evaluation of pelvic floor reconstructive surgery using radiopaque meshes and three-dimensional helical CT.

Dynamic evaluation of pelvic floor reconstructive surgery.

Doctor Palma and colleagues, from State University of Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil, performed on page 209 a prospective study to achieve visualization of the reestablishment of anatomy after reconstructive surgery in the different pelvic compartments. They studied a total of 30 female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse, or both, that und...

MR defecography: a diagnostic test for the evaluation of pelvic floor motion in patients with dyssynergic defecation after biofeedback therapy

  Background: Dyssynergic defecation is a major cause of chronic functional constipation as a common digestive complaint. We clinically evaluated the effects of biofeedback therapy on the pelvic floor motion indices through magnetic resonance (MR) defecography, quality of life and depression in patients with dyssynergic defecation.   Methods : In this clinical trial study, among pa...

Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Photogrammetric System for Control and Guidance of Reconstructive Surgery

The digital image contains efficient and useful information which enables measurement and data acquisition. One of the methods that facilitate measuring and interpreting objects, using the image solely, is close-range photogrammetry. Among the various fields of science, whenever a precise measurement is required, this approach can be applied. One of these fields is Medical Sciences that due to ...

Position statement on restriction of surgical options for pelvic floor disorders: the American Urogynecologic Society Board of Directors.

Significance of preoperative calculation of uterine weight as an indicator for preserving the uterus in pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Recently, increasing evidence has shown that uterus preservation is beneficial for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients, both physiologically and psychologically. However, the preoperative indicators for uterus preservation have rarely been examined. The current study was designed to determine the relationship between the preoperative evaluated uterus weight and the operation selection (preserv...
