Molecular Effects of Topical Estrogen on Vaginal Granulation Tissue in Postpartum Women
Conclusions Estrogen receptor α seems to be the predominant receptor mediating estrogen action in postpartum perineal and vaginal granulation tissue. Vaginal E2 use does not seem to affect serum levels of estrone, E2, dehydroepiandrosterone, progesterone, and testosterone in postpartum women.

Trajectories of Pelvic Floor Symptoms and Support After Vaginal Delivery in Primiparous Women Between Third Trimester and 1 Year Postpartum
Conclusions One year postpartum, urinary and bowel symptoms are common in primiparous women who gave birth vaginally. A substantial portion of this burden is represented by symptoms present before delivery, while most of the prevalence of worse anatomic support is accounted for by de novo changes after delivery.

Genome-Wide Association Study of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Using the Michigan Genomics Initiative
Conclusions Our replication of 4 biologically plausible previously reported SNPs provides further evidence for a genetic contribution to prolapse, specifically that rs12325192, rs9306894, rs1920568, and rs1247943 may contribute to susceptibility for prolapse. These and previously reported associations that have not yet been replicated should be further explored in larger, more diverse cohorts, perhaps through meta-analysis.

Current Practices and Preferences of Fellows and Program Directors on Taking the Certifying Examination During Subspecialty Fellowships
Objective Fellows in obstetrics and gynecology subspecialties often take their oral specialty certifying examination (referred to here as generalist certifying examination [GCE]) during fellowship. We sought to compare the opinions of current fellows and program directors (PDs) regarding their program’s handling of GCE during fellowship. Methods In this online, survey-based study, fellows and PDs currently affiliated with an accredited fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, or gynecologic oncology (GO) received the l...

The Use of Ancillary Services Under a Bundled Care Versus a Fee-For-Service Payment Model
Objectives Colocated services in a team-based integrated practice unit (IPU) optimize care of pelvic floor disorders. Our goal was to compare ancillary service utilization in a multidisciplinary IPU between patients covered by a bundled payment model (BPM) versus a traditional fee-for-service model (FFSM). Methods Medical records of women attending an IPU for pelvic floor disorders with colocated services, including nutrition, social work, psychiatry, physical therapy, and subspecialty care between October 2017 and December 2018, were included in this retrospective chart review. All patients were offered treatme...

Risk Factors for Urinary Retention After Colpocleisis
Conclusions Transient urinary retention occurs in more than half of patients after colpocleisis. Patients undergoing concomitant hysterectomy have the highest risk of postoperative urinary retention. Surgeons can use this information both for counseling and management decisions for individual patients. (Source: Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery)

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Between Sacral Neuromodulation and OnabotulinumtoxinA for the Treatment of Refractory Overactive Bladder in Women: A Systematic Review
Conclusions OnabotulinumtoxinA is more cost-effective for managing refractory OAB when compared with SNM. However, it remains unclear whether this finding holds true long term for what is considered a lifelong condition. (Source: Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery)

Development of a Low-Fidelity Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy Simulation Model and Evaluation of Curriculum
Objectives Minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is a compelling surgical procedure that requires advanced laparoscopic suturing and dissection skills and knowledge of pelvic retroperitoneal anatomy. The aim of this study was to develop a low-cost laparoscopic SCP model and educational curriculum to improve dissection and suturing skills along with anatomic knowledge to avoid complications. Methods The pelvic SCP model was developed with easily available material that was placed on the commercial pelvic bone model to construct a vagina, major vessels, ureter, peritoneum, and areolar tissue. A comprehensive cur...

Preoperative Music Listening in Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery: A Randomized Trial
Conclusion Patients undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery present with moderate anxiety on the day of surgery. Allowing patients to listen to their preferred music is a simple intervention that may lower preoperative anxiety and improve satisfaction in this patient population.

Adding Insult to Injury: Levator Ani Avulsion in Women With Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries
Conclusions In women with obstetric anal sphincter injuries, the risk of levator ani avulsion is almost 6 times higher after forceps-assisted vaginal delivery as compared with spontaneous vaginal delivery. In those with avulsion, recovery of anal continence is compromised, suggesting that adding insult (avulsion) to injury (obstetric anal sphincter injury) may have negative functional consequences.
