Impact of regional multi-disciplinary team on the management of complex urogynaecology conditions
ConclusionThe WoS Regional Urogynaecology MDT had a positive impact on the management of women presenting with complex condition(s). Cross-sharing of resources between hospitals within the region provided a wider range of management plans, better tailored to each individual. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

A serious consequence of pelvic organ prolapse: Hydroureteronephrosis
ConclusionPOP is a multifactorial herniation of pelvic organs out of the urogenital hiatus due to pelvic floor dysfunction. The main etiological factors in POP are older age, grand multiparity, vaginal delivery and obesity. The most important problem in patients with severe POP is HUN due to urethral kinking or urethral obstruction, which is a result of the cystocele squeezing the urethra under the pubic bone. In low-income countries, the main aim is to prevent the development of POP, which is the most common cause of HUN. It is important to increase the level of knowledge about contraception methods and to increase screen...

Current practice in animal models for pelvic floor dysfunction
ConclusionsThe rat is currently the most applicable animal type for numerous modeling methods. Vaginal dilation is the most widely used modeling method for research on the pathogenesis, pathological changes, and treatment of PFD. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

An assessment of urethral radiation exposure in the treatment of endometrial and rectal cancers
ConclusionsThe female urethra is exposed to significantly less radiation in VBT compared to EBRT. These data highlight that modality of pelvic radiation should be considered in treatment counseling on urinary incontinence in women. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Sling plication for persistent stress urinary incontinence after midurethral sling
ConclusionsSling plication is an effective and minimally invasive option to treat persistent stress urinary incontinence after failed midurethral sling procedures. It avoids additional mesh burden or more invasive retropubic surgery and should be offered as a treatment option for appropriately counseled patients. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Does the addition of electrical stimulation or kinesiotherapy improve outcomes of amitriptyline treatment for women with vulvodynia? A randomized clinical trial
ConclusionKinesiotherapy and electrotherapy additions to amitriptyline administration as well as amitriptyline alone, were effective at improving vestibular pain in women with vulvodynia. Women receiving physical therapy had the greatest improvement in sexual function and frequency of intercourse at post-treatment and follow-up. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Evaluation of gastrointestinal tract injury within 1  year of surgery for pelvic organ prolapse
ConclusionsThe rate of GITI after POP surgery is less than 1%, and injuries are commonly diagnosed and treated in the same month as index surgery. High-volume surgeons and obliterative procedures may be protective against GITI. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Association between vaginal or cesarean delivery and later development of stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse: A retrospective population-based cohort study
ConclusionsThe current study was the largest retrospective cohort study regarding the influence of delivery mode on SUI and POP so far. VD was found to be associated with an increased risk of SUI and POP compared with C/S. Postpartum care for pelvic physical therapy should be provided particularly to women undergoing VD.

A randomised interventional parallel study to evaluate the effect of different frequencies of pelvic floor muscle exercises with core stabilisation using three-dimensional ultrasound: the PELSTAB study
ConclusionsHigh-frequency PFMT for 12 weeks significantly decreased IEF/week in comparison with low-frequency PFMT. In the high-frequency exercise group, women had significantly better pelvic floor muscle function, morphometry and quality of life than the low-frequency exercise group.

Vaginal and laparoscopic sub-urethral sling explantation
ConclusionsKnowing the guidelines and the different surgical steps will help urogynecological surgeons to perform similar procedures in patients requiring removal of retropubic slings for complications such as infection and pain, where conservative management has not been successful. These cases must be discussed in a multidisciplinary meeting, as recommended by the French National Authority for Health, and managed in an expert establishment.
