Lateral abdominal muscle thickness and contractile function in women with and without stress urinary incontinence
ConclusionWomen with SUI had a smaller percentage change in thickness and contractile function of TrA and IO muscle than women without SUI. However, there was no difference in the morphological features of these muscles between the groups. Considering the lateral abdominal muscle, training may be important for management of SUI.

Effectiveness of prophylactic pharmacological hemostatic agents for reduction of blood loss at vaginal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsPeri-operative use of vasoconstrictive agents slightly reduces bleeding in women undergoing elective vaginal surgery. Additional studies evaluating alternative pharmacological agents such as tranexamic acid may be of benefit. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Complications 8 weeks after an obstetric second-degree perineal laceration in relation to body mass index
ConclusionsPrimiparous overweight and obese women report less AI and more UI than normal-weight women 8 weeks after a second-degree perineal laceration. No differences were found regarding complications. These findings are new and merit further study to find potential preventive factors and interventions after a second-degree perineal laceration.

Outcomes of pessary fitting trials for patients with stage IV pelvic organ prolapse: a prospective study
ConclusionFor patients with stage IV POP, the successful fitting rate is as high as 80% or more. More vaginal deliveries, a history of hysterectomy, and a larger vaginal introitus/TVL ratio (ratio  >0.6) were predictors of unsuccessful pessary fitting. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Association between the rs1036819 polymorphism of the ZFAT gene and pelvic organ prolapse: a case –control study
ConclusionsNo association was detected between the rs1036819 polymorphism of theZFAT gene and advanced POP. Age, number of pregnancies, at least one vaginal delivery, weight of the newborn, and POP family history were independent risk factors for POP. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

The relationship between women's mode of delivery, body image, self-respect, and genital self-image
ConclusionsMode of delivery was not a predictor of female genital self-image in the early postpartum period. Women with high self-esteem had a positive body image and genital self-image. Age, self-esteem, and body image were influential on female genital self-image. On the other hand, age, self-esteem, and body image predicted about 19.5% of female genital self-image according to multiple linear regression. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)

Impact of COVID-19 on surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence in the Brazilian public health system
ConclusionThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the surgical treatment of FSUI in Brazil was significant in 2020 and persisted in 2021. Access to surgical treatment of FSUI varied according to geographic region, HDI, and per capita income, even before COVID-19. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal)
