background: pelvic organ prolapse is a common gynecologic condition in women that rarely occur in pregnancy and can complicate the pregnancy. a woman with prolapsed uterus in second trimester of pregnancy and her follow up are presented here. case report: a 35-years old g2p1 woman with history of last normal pregnancy and successful vaginal delivery attended to emergency ward of hospital. she w...

OBJECTIVES To assess the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic promontofixation (LP) for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS A total of 501 consecutive patients with POP were included in this prospective study. The patients' mean age was 63.23 (36-90) years, their mean body mass index was 25.14 (15-36) and their mean number of deliveries was 3.3 (0-14). A POP grade ≥3 was diagn...

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY A new mitral valve repair concept to treat mitral regurgitation (MR) due to valve prolapse was recently proposed. In this study, an improved design of this concept is presented, and the results of preliminary hemodynamic studies conducted in an in-vitro prolapse model are reported. METHODS The new repair approach is based on using a web/net attached to a standa...

Mitral valve prolapse is a benign condition. Mitral regurgitation is only complicated in patients with severe mitral valve prolapse. Women with mitral valve prolapse in the absence of other cardiovascular disorders tolerate pregnancy well and do not develop remarkable cardiac complications. Nevertheless, serious complications of mitral valve prolapse, including arrhythmia, infective endocarditi...

Background It is common to see women carrying heavy loads on their back in developing countries including Ethiopia. This may have an effect on pelvic organ prolapse. The objective of this study was to determine prevalence and factors associated with pelvic organ prolapse among pedestrian back-loading women in Bench-MajiZone, 2016. Methods The study was conducted in Bench-MajiZone, Southwest E...

BACKGROUND To quantify mitral regurgitation (MR) with CMR, the regurgitant volume can be calculated as the difference between the left ventricular (LV) stroke volume (SV) measured with the Simpson's method and the reference SV, i.e. the right ventricular SV (RVSV) in patients without tricuspid regurgitation. However, for patients with prominent mitral valve prolapse (MVP), the Simpson's method ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the postoperative course, complication rate, and decannulation rate in children who underwent either sutureless or sutured posterior costal cartilage grafting during laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR). DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary care children's medical center. PATIENTS The study included children who required posterior costal cartilage graft...

Circular stapled transanal hemorrhoidopexy (STH) was first introduced by A. Longo for the correction of internal mucosal prolapse and obstructed defecation and in 1998, was proposed as alternative to conventional excisional hemorrhoidectomy. More recently, stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) has gradually gained popularity, as the Longo procedure, in the treatment of hemorrhoids. The aim...

T International Continence Society defines pelvic organ prolapse as any stage of prolapse greater than zero. If this definition is used, 27-98% of women will have pelvic organ prolapse at some point in their lives.1 It is estimated that women have an 11% lifetime risk of reconstructive surgery for prolapse, urinary incontinence or both, and a 29% risk of repeat surgery for these conditions.2 Al...
