The 50 most cited articles and science mapping analysis of vaginal tightening
ConclusionsThe study shed light on frequently read articles and influential topics about vaginal tightening. The highly cited literature mainly focused on laser or radiofrequency treatments and gynecologists currently dominate the highly cited literature on vaginal tightening. The articles related to surgical treatments are low in number and evidence level so far. The co-occurrence analysis reveals the hot research content and active countries in the field. In general, the study provides useful evidence for future research and educational materials. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Lateral suspension with V-NOTES for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse with the Salman –Ketenci Gencer technique
ConclusionsWith the Salman –Ketenci Gencer technique not only good anatomical but also good functional results were obtained with V-NOTES. Surgeons may focus on uterine sparing while using the Salman–Ketenci Gencer technique for apical prolapse owing to the higher rate of complications related to the colposuspension and better sexual results after the cervicosuspension.

Predictors of outcomes in patients with repeat surgery for obstetric fistula: a retrospective review
ConclusionsAbsence of urethral involvement is an independent predictor for successful outcomes in repeat surgery for obstetric fistulas. Even in the hands of an expert surgeon, the risk of another failure in achieving anatomical closure or subjective or objective continence is between 4 and 5 times higher than when the urethra is not involved.

Identification of a potential structure-based GPCR drug for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome: in silico protein structure analysis and molecular docking
ConclusionsWe identified the structures of GPR18 and GPR183 proteins and their highly homologous evolutionary properties. Furthermore, both proteins can form effective binding with cannabidiol which provides new insights for the development of IC/BPS drugs by targeting G protein coupled receptors.

The impact of anxiety on postoperative pain following pelvic reconstructive surgery
ConclusionsA large fraction of women undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery have moderate to severe preoperative anxiety. Women with preoperative anxiety appear to have greater odds of increased postoperative pain. Understanding this association may help surgeons with preoperative counseling and expectations regarding postoperative pain. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Development of a conceptual framework for a new patient-reported outcome measure for pain in women following mesh surgery for pelvic floor disorders: a qualitative study
ConclusionsThis study identifies the important components of pain felt by women following mesh surgery. It is hoped that the development of a pain-specific PROM, as supported by clinicians, will assist in the timely and appropriate diagnosis and management of POP and SUI.

The impact of surgeon operative volume on risk of reoperation within 5 years of mid-urethral sling: a systematic review
ConclusionsThe odds of a repeat incontinence procedure appear higher if the surgery is performed by a low-volume surgeon, although these results need to be interpreted with caution as the definition of low-volume vs high-volume surgeon varied between studies. As such, operative volume should be included in surgical reporting, and future research should utilize surgical volume as either a continuous exposure or a standardized value of low- vs high-volume MUS surgeons.

Condition-specific validation of the Arabic version of the Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ) among parturient
ConclusionsThe Arabic version of the PIKQ is a new, reliable, consistent, and valid instrument to examine the level of knowledge regarding UI and POP in Arabic speaking pregnant women. This instrument may be used to assess women's knowledge about PFD and to direct the need for educational interventions that may empower women to make informed decisions regarding perinatal care.
