DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.
SETTING: Tertiary referral hospital.
PATIENTS: A total of 1894 women underwent PRS for advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) stages 3 to 4 with urodynamic findings of BOO.
INTERVENTIONS: PRS.
MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome measured was the resumption of normal voiding function, defined clinically with multichannel urodynamic testing at 1 year postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were to identify the different risk factors for persistence voiding dysfunction (VD) 1 year after PRS.
MAIN RESULTS: A total of 431 women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification stages 3 and 4, urodynamic study of maximum urinary flow rate ≤15 mL/s, and detrusor pressure at maximum flow ≥20 cm H2O were included. Resumption of normal voiding function was found in 91% (n = 392 of 431), whereas 9% (n = 39 of 431) remained to have VD 1 year postoperatively. Those with persistent VD, 20.5% (n = 8 of 39) remained having urodynamic diagnosis of BOO. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression revealed factors associated with postoperative VD were pre-operative maximal cystometric capacity ≥500 mL and postvoid residual volume ≥200 mL.
CONCLUSION: VD may persist in women with BOO after PRS, particularly in those with preoperative maximal cystometric capacity of >500 mL and postvoid residual volume >200 mL.
METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted on 99 women who underwent Surelift System surgery for advanced POP Stage III and IV between July 2018 to January 2020. Objective evaluation included Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q), multichannel urodynamic (UDS), and introital 2D ultrasonographic measurement. Subjective evaluation uses validated questionnaires of Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7(IIQ-7), Urogenital Distress Inventory-6(UDI-6), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory 6(POPDI-6), Colorectal Anal Distress Inventory-8(CRADI-8) and Pelvic organ prolapse/ Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12). Outcomes were examined at 3 months, yearly and at 3 years postoperative. Secondary outcome included de novo or persistent urodynamic stress incontinence (USI) and surgical complications.
RESULTS: Eighty-five women were included in the final analysis. At 3 years postoperative, the objective cure rate was 94.1 % and subjective cure rate of 91.8 %. Ultrasonography revealed initial mesh elongation and thickening at first year, resolving by the third year, while the distance between the bladder neck and mesh remained stable. Significant improvement in POP-Q components (Aa,Ba,C,Ap,Bp and TVL of p
