Objective. To investigate the contribution of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) to micturition and defecation symptoms. Method. Cross-sectional study including 64 women presenting with POP symptoms and 50 controls without POP complaints. Subjects were evaluated using POP-Quantification system, Urinary Distress Inventory, and Defecation Distress Inventory. The MOS SF-36 health survey and the Center fo...

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common multifactorial condition. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes capable of breaking down various connective tissue elements. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in regulatory areas of MMP-encoding genes can alter their transcription rate, and therefore the possible effect on pelvic floor supporting structures. The insertion of an adenine (A) bas...

BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the relationship between depressive symptoms (DS) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) symptoms and quality of life (QoL). Our hypothesis was that women with DS and POP have worse symptoms and QoL than those without DS and POP. AIM Our aim was to compare two groups of POP patients, those with depressive symptoms and those without, and evaluate the association of...

The prolapse of one or several pelvic organs is a condition that has been known by medicine since its early days, and different therapeutic approaches have been proposed and accepted. But one of the main problems concerning the prolapse of pelvic organs is the need for a universal, clear and reliable staging method.Because the prolapse has been known and recognized as a disease for more than on...

Objective To determine whether ventral mesh rectopexy at the time of sacrocolpopexy reduces rate future posterior wall prolapse. Material and Methods This was a retrospective cohort study women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who underwent or without concomitant single community hospital from December 1, 2015 to June 30, 2019. Preoperative quantification (POP-Q) urodynamic testing used in eval...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Elevate Anterior/Apical transvaginal mesh procedure in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair at 12-months follow-up. METHODS This prospective, multicenter, multinational study enrolled 142 patients experiencing anterior vaginal prolapse with or without apical descent (POP-Q ≥ stage II). Each patient received a single-incision tr...

A large (25 m2), remote-release buoyant pop net, 1989), and to do this, a buoyant pop net was designed floorless to permit normal behaviour by benthic fish, and a with the aim of making a more complete cat&. The beach seine net were comparing the catch seine net is also unwieldy when fish need to be collected the 2 net types. Both nets were made of 1 mm mesh, aimed at catchina fish from 10 to 1...

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a major clinical burden affecting 25% of women, with vaginal delivery a major contributing factor. We hypothesised that increasing parity weakens the vagina by altering the extracellular matrix proteins and smooth muscle thereby leading to POP vulnerability. We used a modified POP-quantification (POP-Q) system and a novel pressure sensor to measure vaginal wall we...

Abstract Background To assess current use of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system in clinical practice among Korean obstetrician-gynecologists. Methods A web-based questionnaire was sent to 780 Society Obstetrics and Gynecology members. The items evaluated were demographic characteristics POP-Q evaluation pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgical decision-making. Differences betwe...
