OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the independent effect of suburethral sling placement on the risk of cystocele recurrence after pelvic reconstructive operation. STUDY DESIGN One hundred forty-eight women with cystoceles to or beyond the hymenal ring underwent pelvic reconstructive operation, with or without incontinence procedures, and were evaluated at 12 and 52 weeks aft...

AIMS To assess the technical feasibility of a new mini-invasive sling procedure (MiniArc) and present short-term results in the treatment of female urinary incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 97 women with mixed or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were treated by placement of the new single-incision sling. Pelvic organ prolapse was graded using the POP-Q system (pelvic organ prola...

we report a rare, severe case of traumatic globe avulsion and its assessment and management. a 60-year-old man was presented with complete globe avulsion following a facial trauma. left globe was luxated out of the orbit. no direct or indirect light reflexes or any eye movement could be noted. ct-scan showed complete laceration of the left optic nerve, globe protrusion and multiple orbital bone...

purpose: to report a case of enophthalmos secondary to complete globe dislocation into the maxillary sinus due to orbital fracture. patient and findings: an 18-year-old man was referred to labafinejad hospital, one week after a car accident. at initial examination, the globe was not seen within the right orbit. a large floor fracture and globe luxation into the right maxillary sinus were confir...

INTRODUCTION More than 200,000 midurethral slings are placed yearly for stress urinary incontinence. Approximately 14% to 20% of women experience worsening sexual function overall after these procedures. We postulated that sling placement injures neural pathways regulating "female prostate" tissue within the anterior vaginal wall. AIM To perform a meta-analysis for overall sexual function and...

Aiming at the parachute recovery of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles, a method deployment by tractor rocket is proposed. First, tensile tests were carried out on high-strength polyethylene and brocade silk-weaved composite materials. The dynamic property parameters materials obtained, which was input for model phase. Second, verified experiment results. Finally, weight launch temperature dur...

Do structures exist within the embryonic central nervous system that guide axons across the midline during development of the great cerebral commissures (corpus callosum, anterior commissure)? With the use of serial section and reconstructive computer graphic techniques we have found that during normal ontogeny of the mouse forebrain and before the arrival of the pioneer fibers of the corpus ca...

TECHNIQUE A skin reducing mastectomy is performed via Wise pattern incisions, retaining an extensive inferior dermal sling of de-epithelialised tissue. A sizer is used to ensure the skin envelope meets the inframammary fold before an anatomical implant is placed on the pectoralis major. Complete coverage is achieved with the inferior dermal sling, which is sutured to the pectoralis superiorly. ...
