Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare postprocedure retreatment rates for stress incontinence in patients who underwent either midurethral sling or urethral bulking at the time of concomitant repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study using data from the Premier Healthcare Database. Using Current Procedural Terminology codes, we identified patients who were undergoing POP repair and concomitant urethral bulking or midurethral sling between the years 2001 and 2018. Patients who underwent concomitant nongynecologic surgery, Burch urethropexy, or oncologic surgery, and those who did not undergo concomitant POP and anti-incontinence surgery, were excluded. Additional data collected included patient demographics, hospital characteristics, surgeon volume, and comorbidities. The primary outcome was a repeat anti-incontinence procedure at 2 years, and the secondary outcome was the composite complication rate. RESULTS Over the study period, 540 (0.59%) patients underwent urethral bulking, and 91,005 (99.41%) patients underwent midurethral sling. The rate of a second procedure within 2 years was higher for urethral bulking, compared with midurethral sling (9.07% vs 1.11%, P <.001); in the urethral bulking group, 4.81% underwent repeat urethral bulking and 4.81% underwent midurethral sling. In the midurethral sling group, 0.77% underwent repeat midurethral sling and 0.36% underwent urethral bulking. After adjusting for confounders, midurethral sling was associated with a decreased odds of a repeat anti-incontinence procedure at 2 years (adjusted odds ratio 0.11, 95% CI 0.08-0.16). The probability of any complication at 2 years was higher with urethral bulking (23.0% vs 15.0%, P <.001). CONCLUSION Urethral bulking at the time of POP repair is associated with a higher rate of repeat procedure and postoperative morbidity up to 2 years after surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS This manuscript from Chapter 2 of the International Urogynecology Consultation (IUC) on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) reviews the literature involving the clinical evaluation of a patient with POP and associated bladder and bowel dysfunction. METHODS An international group of 11 clinicians performed a search of the literature using pre-specified search MESH terms in PubMed and Embase databases (January 2000 to August 2020). Publications were eliminated if not relevant to the clinical evaluation of patients or did not include clear definitions of POP. The titles and abstracts were reviewed using the Covidence database to determine whether they met the inclusion criteria. The manuscripts were reviewed for suitability using the Specialist Unit for Review Evidence checklists. The data from full-text manuscripts were extracted and then reviewed. RESULTS The search strategy found 11,242 abstracts, of which 220 articles were used to inform this narrative review. The main themes of this manuscript were the clinical examination, and the evaluation of comorbid conditions including the urinary tract (LUTS), gastrointestinal tract (GIT), pain, and sexual function. The physical examination of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) should include a reproducible method of describing and quantifying the degree of POP and only the Pelvic Organ Quantification (POP-Q) system or the Simplified Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (S-POP) system have enough reproducibility to be recommended. POP examination should be done with an empty bladder and patients can be supine but should be upright if the prolapse cannot be reproduced. No other parameters of the examination aid in describing and quantifying POP. Post-void residual urine volume >100 ml is commonly used to assess for voiding difficulty. Prolapse reduction can be used to predict the possibility of postoperative persistence of voiding difficulty. There is no benefit of urodynamic testing for assessment of detrusor overactivity as it does not change the management. In women with POP and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the cough stress test should be performed with a bladder volume of at least 200 ml and with the prolapse reduced either with a speculum or by a pessary. The urodynamic assessment only changes management when SUI and voiding dysfunction co-exist. Demonstration of preoperative occult SUI has a positive predictive value for de novo SUI of 40% but most useful is its absence, which has a negative predictive value of 91%. The routine addition of radiographic or physiological testing of the GIT currently has no additional value for a physical examination. In subjects with GIT symptoms further radiological but not physiological testing appears to aid in diagnosing enteroceles, sigmoidoceles, and intussusception, but there are no data on how this affects outcomes. There were no articles in the search on the evaluation of the co-morbid conditions of pain or sexual dysfunction in women with POP. CONCLUSIONS The clinical pelvic examination remains the central tool for evaluation of POP and a system such as the POP-Q or S-POP should be used to describe and quantify. The value of investigation for urinary tract dysfunction was discussed and findings presented. The routine addition of GI radiographic or physiological testing is currently not recommended. There are no data on the role of the routine assessment of pain or sexual function, and this area needs more study. Imaging studies alone cannot replace clinical examination for the assessment of POP.

Abstract
(1) Background: There is wide variation in the reported prevalence rates for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). There is also wide variation in the rate at which surgical interventions for pelvic organ prolapse are performed, as well as the type of interventions undertaken. As part of the International Consultation on Incontinence (ICI), our committee was tasked to produce evidence-based pathways for the surgical management of POP, any associated stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and bowel dysfunction. (2) Methods: To enable us to generate such evidence, we undertook a thorough search for the POP surgery-related, English-language scientific literature published up to April 2021. (3) Results: The committee evaluated the literature and made recommendations based on the Oxford grading system. (4) Conclusions: This review serves to provide a summary of the 2021 ICI surgical management of an evidence-based prolapse pathway and outline the evidence used to inform this guidance.

A web-based fuzzy risk predictive-decision model of de novo stress urinary incontinence in women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Curr Urol 2021; 15:131-136. [PMID: 34552451 PMCID: PMC8451324 DOI: 10.1097/cu9.0000000000000035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are common conditions affecting women's health and quality of life. In 50% of cases, SUI occurs after POP surgery, which is called de novo SUI. Predicting the risk of de novo SUI is a complex multi-attribute decision-making process. The current study made available a Decision Support System in the form of a fuzzy calculator web-based application to help surgeons predict the risk of de novo SUI. Materials and methods: We first identified 12 risk factors and the diagnostic criteria for de novo SUI by means of a systematic review of the literature. Then based upon an expert panel, all risk factors were prioritized. A set of 232 fuzzy rules for the prediction of de novo SUI was determined. A fuzzy expert system was developed using MATLAB software and Mamdani Inference System. The risk prediction model was then evaluated using retrospective data extracted from 30 randomly selected medical records of female patients over the age of 50 without symptoms of urinary incontinence who had undergone POP surgery. Finally, the proposed results of the predictive system were compared with the results of retrospective medical record data review. Results: The results of this online calculator show that the accuracy of this risk prediction model, at more than 90%, compared favorably to other SUI risk prediction models. Conclusions: A fuzzy logic-based clinical Decision Support System in the form of an online calculator for calculating SUI prognosis after POP surgery in women can be helpful in predicting de novo SUI.

Abstract
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to compare the imaging findings and patient’s perception of barium defecating proctography and dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) proctography in patients with pelvic floor disorders. Material and Methods: This is a prospective study conducted on patients with pelvic floor disorders who consented to undergo both barium proctography and dynamic MR proctography. Imaging findings of both the procedures were compared. Inter-observer agreement (IOA) for key imaging features was assessed. Patient’s perception of these procedures was assessed using a short questionnaire and a visual analog scale. Results: Forty patients (M: F =19:21) with a mean age of 43.65 years and range of 21–75 years were included for final analysis. Mean patient experience score was significantly better for MR imaging (MRI) (p < 0.001). However, patients perceived significantly higher difficulty in rectal evacuation during MRI studies (p = 0.003). While significantly higher number of rectoceles (p = 0.014) were diagnosed on MRI, a greater number of pelvic floor descent (p = 0.02) and intra-rectal intussusception (p = 0.011) were diagnosed on barium proctography. The IOA for barium proctography was substantial for identifying rectoceles, rectal prolapse and for determining M line, p < 0.001. There was excellent IOA for MRI interpretation of cystoceles, peritoneoceles, and uterine prolapse and substantial to excellent IOA for determining anal canal length and anorectal angle, p < 0.001. The mean study time for the barium and MRI study was 12 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively. Conclusion: Barium proctography was more sensitive than MRI for detecting pelvic floor descent and intrarectal intussusception. Although patients perceived better rectal emptying with barium proctography, the overall patient experience was better for dynamic MRI proctography.

Abstract
Urinary incontinence causes significant limitations in quality of life and reduces mental and physical health. It is a widespread and chronic disease. About 200 million people are affected by urinary incontinence worldwide. Females are more often affected than males. For the therapy of female urinary incontinence various conservative and surgical treatment measures are available. A comprehensive diagnostic work-up is crucial for effective and successful use of those therapeutical measures. The current paper gives a review of diagnostic options for female urinary incontinence: from non-invasive up to invasive investigations. It presents potential pitfalls and possibilities for improving the diagnostic work-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown that anterior vaginal wall prolapse (AVWP) results in reduction of pressure in the proximal urethra. However, the effect of severity of AVWP on urethral pressure is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate parameters of the urethral pressure profile in different stages of AVWP. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2016 to 2017, 286 consecutive patients with urogynecologic complaints who were referred to our urodynamic unit were enrolled in this study to analyze their urethral pressure profiles. Stages of AVWP were regrouped into three groups ranging from mild to severe stages (groups 1-3). Maximal urethral pressure, urethral closure pressure, functional urethral length, length of continence zone, as well as area of continence zone were compared among these three groups. RESULTS Distribution of age, parity, and menopausal women were significantly different among these three groups. Maximal urethral pressure (pressures for groups 1, 2, and 3 were 74.6∼75.9cmH2O, 69.7∼73.4cmH2O, and 58.3∼60.5cmH2O, respectively; all P<.05) and stress urethral closure pressure (pressures for groups 1, 2, and 3 were 69.3cmH2O, 62.3cmH2O, and 52.2cmH2O, respectively; all P<.05) gradually and significantly decreased, consistent with the severity of AVWP. However, the attenuated maximal urethral pressure and stress urethral closure pressure in accordance with severity did not show any significant difference after controlling for age, body mass index, parity, menopause, and stress urinary incontinence symptoms. CONCLUSION Our results showed that AVWP significantly attenuated urethral pressure. However, patient age, menopausal status, and number of parities seem to be more influential in compromising urethral function than just AVWP alone.

Abstract
AIMS De novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may develop after surgical correction of advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in otherwise continent women. Prediction of which women with POP will develop SUI after the prolapse is corrected is difficult. We aimed to externally validate a previously described prediction model for de novo SUI after performing vaginal surgery for POP and to assess its clinical performance when used as a diagnostic test. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included all continent women with ≥ stage 2 POP according to the POP-Quantification System who underwent reconstructive surgery for symptomatic POP. Surgical correction for prolapse of the anterior and/or apical compartment was performed using native tissue or vaginal mesh repair. Seven parameters of the prediction model including age at surgery, number of vaginal births, body mass index, preoperative stress test, previous continence procedure history, urine leakage associated with a feeling of urgency, and diagnosis of diabetes for each patient was provided from the medical records, and the predicted probability of de novo SUI after POP surgery was calculated. The primary outcome used to validate the prediction model was the presence of SUI 1 year after surgery. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to evaluate the predictive accuracy. A cut-off point of ≥ 50% was used to evaluate its clinical performance as a diagnostic test. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-five women were suitable for analysis. The rate of de novo SUI was 5.3%. The predictive accuracy of the model in our population using the area under the ROC curve was 0.56 (95% confidence interval = 0.35-0.77). Its performance as a diagnostic test was poor (positive likelihood ratio = 1.20 and negative likelihood ratio = 0.89). CONCLUSIONS Our clinical validation of this model showed that it did not have good clinical performance. We need future prospective studies to identify and incorporate additional markers of de novo SUI to improve the prediction capacity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to compare which test is most sensitive in identifying stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women with pelvic organ prolapse using urodynamics (UDS) as the criterion standard: cough stress test (CST) or pyridium pad test. METHODS This was a prospective study of women with pelvic organ prolapse stage II or greater who desired surgical management for prolapse. Each patient underwent preoperative urinary testing: UDS, CST, and a 24-hour pyridium pad test. RESULTS A total of 84 patients were analyzed. Using UDS as the criterion standard, both the CST and the pyridium pad test showed a fair agreement with UDS outcomes (κ = 0.27 for both tests). There was no statistically significant difference between the CST and pyridium pad test, with estimated sensitivities of 34.4% versus 60.6% (P = 0.791) and specificities of 90.4% versus 84.6% (P = 0.508). The pyridium pad test was found to have a statistically significant difference in identifying the subjective complaint of SUI (38.6%, P = 0.003) compared with other tests. Patients with occult incontinence were identified 42.5%, 17.5%, and 10% of the time during UDS, CST, and pyridium pad testing, respectively. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that the sensitivities of the CST and pyridium pad test for stress incontinence and occult stress incontinence in patients with pelvic organ prolapse are low when compared with UDS as the criterion standard. Urodynamics has an important role in preoperative identification of occult SUI.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the diagnostic ability of different cough stress tests (CSTs) in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), performed during outpatient urogynaecological exams. METHODS Prospective, multicentre observational study involving women on waiting lists for POP surgery. With a subjectively full bladder, patients were asked to perform five different CSTs: without prolapse reduction ([a] standing, followed by [b] semilithotomy position); keeping semilithotomy position with prolapse reduced (by [c] posterior speculum, followed by [d] pessary); [e] standing again with the pessary in place. Primary outcome was positive CST in at least one of the five CSTs. Bladder volume was measured and symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were detected by two validated questionnaires. RESULTS A total of 297 women completed all CSTs and were included in the analyses. Mean (SD) age, parity, and body mass index were 64.8 (9.9) years, 2.7 (1.3) deliveries, and 26.6 (3.4) kg/m2 , respectively. In total, 99 women (33.3%) reported SUI symptoms. At least one positive CST was recorded in 152 patients (51.1%), and in 90 (59.2%) of these 152, a positive CST was observed only when POP was reduced (occult SUI). The CST was positive in 92 (92.9%) of the 99 patients with coexisting SUI symptoms and in 60 (30.3%) of the 205 asymptomatic patients. The percentage of patients with a positive CST was significantly lower when bladder volume was <200 mL vs ≥200 mL (P = .046). CONCLUSIONS The identification of urinary leakage cases with CSTs is best achieved using multiple different patient positions, different prolapse reduction methods, and bladder volumes ≥200 mL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem in women that affects their quality of life. According to the current evidence, 15%-50% of severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgeries lead to de novo urinary incontinence (UI). This study aimed at determining the risk factors and characteristics of de novo SUI after POP surgeries in a systematic review. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a systematic search of articles in English related to the risk of UI after POP surgery published until December 2019 in the selected bibliographic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest. RESULTS The initial search resulted in 2,363 studies, and after reviewing the titles and abstracts, 146 studies were identified. Moreover, 2 independent reviewers, using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists, evaluated the risk of biases in the selected studies. Finally, 40 studies met the inclusion criteria. The most important predictors of UI after POP surgery were positive pessary testing, age >50 years, and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) <60 cmH2O. CONCLUSION Positive pessary testing, older age, and low MUCP were the most important risk factors for de novo incontinence after POP surgeries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The aim of the study was to evaluate hysterectomized and non-hysterectomized patients with prolapse and incontinence. Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy (LSHP) and minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (LMSCP) were done in combination with transobturator tape (TOT) and native tissue repair of the anterior and posterior vaginal compartments in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and occult, stress, or urinary incontinence (SUI). The hypothesis is that both methods are successful. METHODS A total of 81 patients with POP were evaluated: 44 had vaginal vault prolapse (POPQ points Ba, C, and Bp were 1.2, 2.6, and 0.4, respectively) and 37 had uterine prolapse (POPQ points Ba, C, and Bp were 1.8, 1.7, and 1.3, respectively). LMSCP (which means less dissection of the vagina in its upper third and avoiding possible collision with the ureters anteriorly or the rectum posteriorly) was performed in patients with vault prolapse, whereas patients with uterine prolapse underwent LSHP. Transobturator tape (TOT) was placed in all patients to treat symptomatic and occult urinary incontinence. Systematic anterior and posterior colporrhaphy was performed in both groups. RESULTS Both groups showed anatomic (p < 0.0001) and symptomatic improvement (p < 0.001-p < 0.05). Voiding was significantly improved after surgery without postoperative incontinence (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between groups regarding duration of surgery (p = 0.06), hospital stay (p = 0.13), blood loss (0.83), Clavien-Dindo grade 3 (p = 0.87), and Clavien-Dindo grade 1-2 (p = 0.92) complications. CONCLUSION Minimally invasive LSCP or LSHP combined with TOT and native tissue repair of the anterior and posterior vaginal compartment is a successful treatment for POP.

Abstract
Background/aim To investigate the risk of de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurrence in women who were treated for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) with sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) in addition to vaginal hysterectomy (VAH) and antero-posterior colporrhaphy (CAP) over a 24-month follow-up period. Materials and methods A prospective randomized study was designed. Women without occult or obvious SUI were randomized into either one of the study groups: Group 1: VAH + CAP, and Group 2: VAH + CAP + SSLF. Postoperatively, the patients were reevaluated for de novo SUI occurrence. Results A total of 150 women were analyzed [G1 = VAH + CAP (n: 77) and G2 = VAH + CAP + SSLF (n: 73)]. Mean age, parity, body mass index, menopausal status, and preoperative POP degree, grade 1 and grade 2-3 cystocele and rectocele frequencies were similar between the 2 groups. During follow-up period, de novo SUI developed in 7 patients (9.1%) of Group 1, and in 6 patients (8.2%) of Group 2 (P > 0.05). In Groups 1 and 2, POP recurrence occurred in 5 (6.4%) vs. 1 (1.3%) cases,respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusion In patients undergoing surgery for POP, the addition of SSLF did not result in an increased rate of de novo SUI. Careful patient selection, and informing the patients about the risks and benefits of the planned surgical procedure are essential steps in each case of POP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this paper is to review (1) the epidemiology and pathophysiology of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and occult stress urinary incontinence (SUI), (2) examine the data on combined operative management of POP and occult SUI, (3) discuss the approaches to clinical decision making, and (4) present future therapies. RECENT FINDINGS Prospective data on many approaches to concomitant treatment of prolapse and occult stress urinary incontinence, such as minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy and midurethral sling, or older approaches that have regained favor among patients and clinicians wishing to avoid synthetic mesh, such as native tissue prolapse repair and pubovaginal sling, are limited. Safe durable treatments with absorbable graft materials that promote a beneficial host response are intriguing but may be far from clinical implementation. Stem cell therapy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence has demonstrated benefit in phase I/II trials but has not been studied in the setting of concomitant treatment of occult SUI with POP surgery and remains in the preclinical phase for the treatment of POP. A personalized approach to concomitant SUI surgery that incorporates individual risk assessment as well as informed patient preferences likely optimizes the risk/benefit ratio and patient satisfaction. Novel therapies, including graft materials and cellular therapies that stimulate a regenerative response, may improve or maintain continence outcomes while mitigating risk and alter the approach to both POP and SUI surgery.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the role of pre-operative urodynamics in women with pelvic organ prolapse, who are asymptomatic for urinary symptoms. Correlate urodynamics findings with King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) responses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of prospectively collected data on routine pre-operative urodynamics investigations in women with urogenital prolapse requiring surgery. Patients who were reported to be asymptomatic of urinary symptoms at the urogynaecological clinical consultation, were included for analysis. KHQ and urodynamics data were reviewed. RESULTS A 800 records of women having routine pre-operative urodynamics were collected over a 10-year period, were reviewed. 98/800 (12%) were aymptomatic of urinary symptoms and underwent urodynamics. 82/98 (84%) completed the KHQ. 48/98 (49%) had normal urodynamics. 30/98 (31%) had detrusor overactivity (DO). 17/98 (17%) showed occult urodynamic stress incontinence (USI). 3/98 (3%) both DO and USI. 28/98 (29%) had peak flow rate less than 15 mL/s. Forty-five percent of women reporting nocturia had DO. Nine percent had over 100 mL residuals after the free flow study. Routine pre-operative urodynamics changed management in 25/98 (25%) of asymptomatic prolapse patients. TVT was performed in 12 patients. One patient who declined TVT for moderate occult USI, developed new-onset stress urinary incontinence post-operatively. CONCLUSION This data show, that an accurate pre-surgical evaluation of patients with prolapse is incomplete without a structured validated questionnaire and urodynamics, due to the high proportion of abnormal KHQ and UDS findings in presumably "asymptomatic" patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is common in women and is frequently associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In many cases however, SUI is present only with the prolapse reduced (occult SUI) or may develop after surgical treatment for prolapse (de novo SUI). OBJECTIVES To determine the impact on postoperative bladder function of surgery for symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse with or without concomitant or delayed two-stage continence procedures to treat or prevent stress urinary incontinence. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Incontinence Group Specialised Register, which contains trials identified from the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, MEDLINE-In-Process, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO ICTRP, handsearching journals and conference proceedings (searched 11 November 2017) and reference lists of relevant articles. We also contacted researchers in the field. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) including surgical operations for POP with or without continence procedures in continent or incontinent women. Our primary outcome was subjective postoperative SUI. Secondary outcomes included recurrent POP on examination, overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, and voiding dysfunction. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard methodological procedures as expected by Cochrane. MAIN RESULTS We included 19 RCTs (2717 women). The quality of the evidence ranged from low to moderate. The main limitations were risk of bias (especially blinding of outcome assessors), indirectness and imprecision associated with low event rates and small samples.POP surgery in women with SUIVaginal repair with vs without concomitant mid-urethral sling (MUS)A concomitant MUS probably improves postoperative rates of subjective SUI, as the evaluated clinical effect appears large (risk ratio (RR) 0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.19 to 0.48; 319 participants, two studies; I² = 28%; moderate-quality evidence), and probably decreases the need for further continence surgery (RR 0.04, 95% CI 0.00 to 0.74; 134 participants, one study; moderate-quality evidence). This suggests that if the risk of SUI with POP surgery alone is 39%, the risk with an MUS is between 8% and 19%.Rates of recurrent POP on examination, OAB, and voiding dysfunction were not reported.Vaginal repair with concomitant vs delayed MUSEvidence suggested little or no difference between groups in reporting postoperative SUI (RR 0.41, 95% CI 0.12 to 1.37; 140 participants, one study; moderate-quality evidence).Rates of recurrent POP on examination, OAB, and voiding dysfunction and the need for further surgery were not reported.Abdominal sacrocolpopexy with vs without Burch colposuspensionAn additional Burch colposuspension probably has little or no effect on postoperative SUI at one year (RR 1.38, 95% CI 0.74 to 2.60; 47 participants, one study; moderate-quality evidence), OAB symptoms (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.18; 33 participants, one study; moderate-quality evidence), or voiding dysfunction (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.06 to 14.43; 47 participants, one study; moderate-quality evidence). Rates of recurrent POP and the need for further surgery were not reported.POP surgery in women with occult SUIVaginal repair with vs without concomitant MUSMUS probably improves rates of subjective postoperative SUI (RR 0.38, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.55; 369 participants, five studies; I² = 44%; moderate-quality evidence). This suggests that if the risk with surgery alone is 34%, the risk with a concomitant MUS is between 10% and 22%. Evidence suggests little or no difference between groups in rates of recurrent POP (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.34 to 2.19; 50 participants, one study; moderate-quality evidence), OAB symptoms (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.52 to 1.07; 43 participants, one study; low-quality evidence), or voiding dysfunction (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.15 to 6.55; 50 participants, one study; low-quality evidence). The need for further surgery was not reported.POP surgery in continent women Vaginal repair with vs without concomitant MUSResearchers provided no conclusive evidence of a difference between groups in rates of subjective postoperative SUI (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.47 to 1.00; 220 participants, one study; moderate-quality evidence). This suggests that if the risk with surgery alone is 40%, the risk with a concomitant MUS is between 19% and 40%. Rates of recurrent POP, OAB, and voiding dysfunction and the need for further surgery were not reported.Abdominal sacrocolpopexy with vs without Burch colposuspensionWe are uncertain whether there is a difference between groups in rates of subjective postoperative SUI (RR 1.31, 95% CI 0.19 to 9.01; 379 participants, two studies; I² = 90%; low-quality evidence), as RCTs produced results in different directions with a very wide confidence interval. We are also uncertain whether there is a difference between groups in rates of voiding dysfunction (RR 8.49, 95% CI 0.48 to 151.59; 66 participants, one study; low-quality evidence) or recurrent POP (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.30; 250 participants, one study; moderate-quality evidence. No study reported OAB symptoms and need for further surgery.Vaginal repair with armed anterior vaginal mesh repair vs anterior native tissue Anterior armed mesh repair may slightly increase postoperative de novo SUI (RR 1.58, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.37; 905 participants, seven studies; I² = 0%; low-quality evidence) but may decrease recurrent POP (RR 0.29, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.38; 848 participants, five studies; I² = 0%; low-quality evidence). There may be little or no difference in rates of voiding dysfunction (RR 1.65, 95% CI 0.22 to 12.10; 125 participants, two studies; I² = 0%; low-quality evidence). Rates of OAB and the need for further surgery were not reported.Adverse events were infrequently reported in all studies; cost was not studied in any trial. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS In women with POP and SUI (symptomatic or occult), a concurrent MUS probably reduces postoperative SUI and should be discussed in counselling. It might be feasible to postpone the MUS and perform a delayed (two-stage) continence procedure, if required.Although an abdominal continence procedure (Burch colposuspension) during abdominal POP surgery in continent women reduced de novo SUI rates in one underpowered trial, another RCT reported conflicting results. Adding an MUS during vaginal POP repair might reduce postoperative development of SUI.An anterior native tissue repair might be better than use of transobturator mesh for preventing postoperative SUI; however, prolapse recurrence is more common with native tissue repair.

Abstract
The evaluation of genital prolapse is essentially clinical; however imaging tests such as dynamic MRI or urodynamic explorations may be useful in complex cases, especially before surgical management. Dynamic MRI allows morphological and dynamic analysis of pelvic floor and levator ani function. It can also detect post-obstetric injuries, although the long-term significance of these injuries remains to be discovered. Quantification of the severity of prolapse is possible with MRI; however, the correlation of these measures with clinical examination seems poor. Its interest lies mainly in the qualitative assessment of the three stages of prolapse and the detection of elytroceles, which can be difficult to clinical examination. Urodynamics provides useful information on vesico-sphincteric function, but none of these parameters seems to be decisive in the management of prolapse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pelvic floor disorders, in particular pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), are common in women. There is a described higher risk to develop postoperative SUI also in preoperatively continent women: this happens because in 30% of women the relief of the urethral obstruction caused by prolapse, unmasks a pre-existing compromised urethral function and thus an "occult" or potential SUI. The aims of this study were to evaluate the role of Macroplastique® implant, TVT-O or surgery alone in the management of occult urinary stress incontinence during prolapse surgery in terms of success rate and adverse events. STUDY DESIGN We enrolled 47 consecutive patients scheduled to vaginal prolapse surgery who did not report symptoms of stress incontinence. We collected surgical data, success and complication rates. Moreover we compared all the data with retrospective ones regarding surgery plus concomitant TVT-O (39 pts) and surgery alone (41 pts). RESULTS At 12-months follow-up, we reported a success rate of 87,2% in the "macroplastique group", comparable to the "surgery plus TVT-O group", with a statistically significant difference in comparison to the "surgery alone" group. "Surgery + TVT-O" group reported a higher rate of major complications (p<0,01) in comparison to the other groups. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative SUI prevention at the time of prolapse repair remains a challenging issue. In selected patients, Macroplastique may play an interesting role having a good success rate and a low complication rate and for these reasons it may be proposed as A concomitant procedure during POP surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The issue addressed in this chapter of recommendations is: What is the clinical and para-clinical assessment to achieve in women with genital prolapse and for whom surgical treatment has been decided. What are the clinical elements of the examination that must be taken into account as a risk factor of failure or relapse after surgery, in order to anticipate and evaluate possible surgical difficulties, and to move towards a preferred surgical technique? MATERIAL AND METHODS This work is based on a systematic review of the literature (PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Cochrane Database of Systemactic Reviews, EMBASE) for meta-analyzes, randomized trials, registries, literature reviews, controlled studies and major not controlled studies, published on the subject. Its implementation has followed the methodology of the HAS on the recommendations for clinical practice, with a scientific argument (with the level of evidence, NP) and a recommendation grade (A, B, C, and professional agreement [AP]). RESULTS It suits first of all to describe prolapse, by clinical examination, helped, if needed, by a supplement of imagery if clinical examination data are insufficient or in case of discrepancy between the functional signs and clinical anomalies found, or in case of doubt in associated pathology. It suits to look relapse risk factors (high grade prolapse) and postoperative complications risk factors (risk factors for prothetic exposure, surgical approach difficulties, pelvic pain syndrome with hypersensitivity) to inform the patient and guide the therapeutic choice. Urinary functional disorders associated with prolapse (urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, dysuria, urinary tract infection, upper urinary tract impact) will be search and evaluated by interview and clinical examination and by a flowmeter with measurement of the post voiding residue, a urinalysis, and renal-bladder ultrasound. In the presence of voiding disorders, it is appropriate to do their clinical and urodynamic evaluation. In the absence of any spontaneous or hidden urinary sign, there is so far no reason to recommend systematically urodynamic assessment. Anorectal symptoms associated with prolapse (irritable bowel syndrome, obstruction of defecation, fecal incontinence) should be search and evaluated. Before prolapse surgery, it is essential not to ignore gynecologic pathology. CONCLUSION Before proposing a surgical cure of genital prolapse of women, it suits to achieve a clinical and paraclinical assessment to describe prolapse (anatomical structures involved, grade), to look for recurrence, difficulties approach and postoperative complications risk factors, and to appreciate the impact or the symptoms associated with prolapse (urinary, anorectal, gynecological, pelvic-perineal pain) to guide their evaluation and their treatment. © 2016 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Epidemiologic data suggests that our population greater than 65 years of age will nearly double. In addition, the incidence of women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse will rise. Chronologic age does not preclude a woman from undergoing a reconstructive procedure, yet the preoperative assessment should be approached most judiciously with great care to insure patient is maximally medically prepared for surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Surgical procedures in this review include: the abdominal sacral colpopexy, anterior repair, posterior repair, sacrospinous ligament fixation, uterosacral suspension, and iliococcygeus fixation. The advent of robotic surgery has decreased the perioperative morbidity of several of these procedures. However, the risk of more severe complications does appear higher following robotic procedures, when compared with vaginal procedures. SUMMARY Intuitively, one would surmise that there is a point where vaginal surgery should be considered as the primary procedure based on age, risk and durability of the surgery - unfortunately that age is not clear. Thus, the proper selection of prevalence of organ prolapse surgery can only be done after careful discussion with the patient and including the patient in the selection process as much as possible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Occult stress urinary incontinence (SUI, OSUI) is defined as the demonstration of SUI after pelvic organ prolapse (POP) reduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and complication rates of the 1-step surgical approach for treating women with POP and OSUI. METHODS Retrospective study of women with POP and OSUI who underwent a concomitant prolapse and midurethral sling procedure was conducted. Main outcome measures were absence of postoperative urodynamic stress incontinence (USI) and absence of postoperative SUI at 12 months. Secondary outcome measures included evaluation of objective and subjective parameters related to the lower urinary tract function and assessment of the quality of life. RESULTS Of the 244 women, 205 women (84%) attended the 12-month postoperative follow-up visit and were included in the study. Overall, 87.8% (180/205) of the patients had absence of postoperative urodynamic stress incontinence, whereas 95.1% (195/205) did not report postoperative SUI. Evaluation of parameters related to the postoperative lower urinary tract dysfunction showed that (a) 43% of women with preexisting urgency symptoms continued to have urgency, (b) 16.7% of patients presented de novo urgency, (c) de novo detrusor overactivity occurred in 9.3% of patients, and (d) 4.9% of women with preoperative obstructive voiding symptoms continued to have obstructive voiding symptoms after combined surgery. King's Health Questionnaire data analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in all domains. CONCLUSIONS This 1-step approach is both safe and effective and could be offered as a valid operative choice for those women who wish or should avoid a repeat surgical procedure for postoperative SUI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Concomitant anti-incontinence surgery at the time of prolapse repair has been a long-debated topic. Still today, there remains no clear answer to this question, although in recent years the literature has become more robust with the addition of more randomized controlled trials. The lifetime risk for women of undergoing surgical correction of pelvic organ prolapse is significant, and concomitant anti-incontinence surgery is an important question during surgical planning. MATERIALS AND METHODS This review delves further into the current literature to discuss a possible algorithm for managing the risk of stress incontinence after pelvic organ prolapse repair and examines the support in the literature for the following treatment methods: (1) anti-incontinence surgery for all women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair, (2) anti-incontinence surgery for no women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair, and (3) anti-incontinence surgery in select women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair. CONCLUSIONS While there are data both for and against each of these approaches, after a review of the literature, we recommend anti-incontinence surgery for select women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair, including women with a history of symptomatic and occult stress incontinence diagnosed preoperatively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of concomitant trocar-guided transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery with a midurethral sling (MUS) for treating women with advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or occult SUI (OSUI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-nine women with advanced POP and SUI or OSUI were retrospectively enrolled. The Total Prolift and Tension-free Vaginal Tape-Obturator Systems were used for trocar-guided TVM surgery and MUS. Patients received regular follow-up at 1 week, and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively, and then annually thereafter. The endpoints were the success rate for POP, and perioperative and postoperative complications. Functional outcomes were the presence of voiding difficulty, persistent or de novo overactive bladder symptoms, postoperative SUI, and paresthesia. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 35 months (range, 12-50 months). Within the follow-up period, 84 patients (94.4%) were objectively cured, five patients (5.6%) had vaginal apical mesh exposure, 29 individuals (32.6%) had persistent or de novo overactive bladder symptoms, six individuals (22.5%) had de novo SUI (two were found by urodynamics), and nine individuals (10.1%) had voiding difficulties (two were found by urodynamics). In addition, the vaginal hysterectomy group had greater blood loss, longer operation times, and a higher mesh erosion rate compared to the uterine suspension group. CONCLUSION Concomitant trocar-guided TVM surgery and MUS with the use of total Prolift and Tension-free Vaginal Tape-Obturator offer good efficacy in treating women with advanced POP and SUI or OSUI. The vaginal hysterectomy group had more perioperative complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/HYPOTHESIS Stress incontinence with vaginal prolapse reduction is less common in women with posterior-predominant prolapse (rectocele) compared with those with anterior-predominant prolapse (cystocele). METHODS This was a secondary analysis of a cohort of prospectively enrolled women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse at or beyond the hymen and prolapse-reduced stress urinary incontinence (SUI) testing. Subjects were included if they had anterior- or posterior-predominant prolapse with at least a 1 cm difference in pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) points Ba and Bp (N = 214). We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of post-reduction SUI between the two groups. RESULTS Comparing posterior (n = 45) and anterior (n = 169) prolapse groups, we identified similar rates of post-reduction SUI (posterior: 6/45, 13.3 %; anterior:18/169, 10.7 %; p = 0.52) and SUI without reduction (posterior:4.4 %; anterior:11.2 %; p = 0.26). Maximum prolapse size was slightly larger in anterior than in posterior patients (+3.1 vs +2.0 cm beyond the hymen, p = 0.001), while a higher proportion of posterior subjects reported a prior hysterectomy (p = 0.04). Among posterior subjects, lower maximum urethral closure pressure values (MUCP; p = 0.02) were associated with post-reduction SUI. In contrast, among anterior-predominant prolapse, larger prolapse measured at POP-Q point Ba (p = 0.003) and maximum POP-Q measurement (p = 0.006) were each associated with higher rates of post-reduction SUI and were highly correlated with each other (R = 0.90). CONCLUSIONS We observed similar rates of post-reduction SUI in women with anterior- and posterior-predominant pelvic organ prolapse. Factors affecting the anterior and posterior prolapse groups differed, suggesting different mechanisms of continence protection. These findings suggest that reduction incontinence testing for operative planning would be as relevant to posterior-predominant prolapses as it is to anterior prolapse.

Abstract
AIMS This study focused on the changes in urinary incontinence (UI) rates pre- and postoperatively and identified risk factors which predict the presence of symptoms of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) without concomitant or previous anti-incontinence surgery. METHODS All consecutive women who underwent POP surgery without concomitant or previous anti-incontinence surgery in the years 2004-2010 were included. Assessments were performed preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up, including pelvic organ prolapse quantification score and a standardized urogynecological questionnaire (Urogenital Distress Inventory, UDI). Primary outcome of this study was stress and/or urgency UI postoperatively. Furthermore, this study measured the improvement or worsening of UI following surgery using the UDI. Univariable- and multivariable logistic regression with forward selection procedure was used to identify the risk factors. RESULTS Nine hundred seven patients were included. De novo SUI appeared in 22% and de novo UUI occurred in 21% of the women. At 1-year 42% were cured for UUI and 39% were recovered from SUI by POP surgery alone. The best predictor for the occurrence of postoperative SUI or UUI was the presence of preoperative SUI or UUI. BMI and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative SUI. A recurrence in the anterior compartment protected against SUI postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative SUI or UUI is the most important predictor of SUI and UUI postoperatively. BMI and COPD were identified as important risk factors for SUI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common accompaniment of advancing age. Current repair techniques incorporate transvaginal and transabdominal approaches with or without prosthetic mesh insertion. In this paper, we present the short- and medium-term results of a unit policy directed at patients with POP of combined abdominal rectopexy and Burch retropubic urethropexy without the use of prosthetic mesh assessing its safety profile in selected cases. METHODS Between January 2009 and January 2011, 16 women with tri-compartmental prolapse who had all undergone prior hysterectomy underwent combined surgical pelvic floor repair. Preoperative symptom assessment by validated questionnaires and clinical examination were pre- and postoperatively recorded. Cures were defined as either optimal or satisfactory outcomes based on combined clinical, radiological examinations and reported patient satisfaction. RESULTS The mean age of the 16 patients was 57.2 years, and their mean BMI was 28.6 (±5 SD). Pelvic examination revealed a POP-Q stage III prolapse in 12 patients and stage IV in 4 patients. The mean operating time was 57.5 min (range 40-85), with a mean length of hospital stay of 4.5 days. Cystocele and enterocele resolution was noted in every case on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CONCLUSIONS Our results in a small patient cohort employing a simple 'all-in-one' repair approach combining a retropubic colposuspension with an anterior rectopexy appear to be satisfactory. Further larger randomized studies are required, incorporating a laparoscopic arm in order to determine the longer-term effectiveness of this approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of life and surgical outcomes in women who had undergone colpocleisis. STUDY DESIGN This was a prospective small cohort study conducted between August 2010 and September 2011. Twelve women with pelvic organ prolapse were offered obliterative vaginal surgery and were informed about the surgical procedure. Ten women accepted this operation and were included in the study. Before and after colpocleisis, cases were evaluated by urogynecological examination, and quality of life was assessed by the Turkish language validated prolapse quality of life questionnaire (P-QOL), in which a low total score indicates a good quality of life. RESULTS The mean age was 74.9±4.5 (range 68-85). The general score of the P-QOL was reduced during the follow-up period, reflecting a significant effect on quality of life and clinical improvement in women with the colpocleisis operation. There was no morbidity due to colpocleisis or recurrent pelvic organ prolapse in follow-up period. CONCLUSION In our small cohort including elderly women, colpocleisis provided high levels of surgical outcomes as well as a significant improvement in quality of life without significant morbidity.

Abstract
The classic description of rectal prolapse is a protrusion of the rectum beyond the anus. Peaks of occurrences are noted in the fourth and seventh decades of life, and most patients (80-90%) are women. The condition is often concurrent with pelvic floor descent and prolapse of other pelvic floor organs, such as the uterus or the bladder. In this study, two cases having contraindication to general anesthesia with rectal and uterine prolapse are presented. These cases were operated on under local anesthesia with support of sedation by Leforte and Delorme's operation at the same time. In conclusion; pelvic floor disorders should be considered as a whole, and surgical correction of rectal prolapse and uterine prolapse may be done at the same time under local anesthesia with the support of sedation. Performance of these operations by experienced and trained pelvic reconstructive surgeons may be advocated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare changes in urinary symptoms before and after pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery, using either laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) or transvaginal porcine dermis hammock placement with sacrospinous ligament suspension (VS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were prospectively collected from all women undergoing POP surgery between May 2001 and October 2009. Pre- and postoperative urinary symptoms, Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI), and Urinary Impact Questionnaires (UIQ) scores were compared within and between groups. A generalized linear model was used for multivariate analysis. RESULTS Out of the 151 patients included, 87 patients underwent LSC, and 64 VS. Overall, after a median follow-up of 32.4 months, POP surgery improved urinary frequency (P = 0.006), voiding difficulty (P = 0.001), stress urinary incontinence (SUI) (P = 0.001), but not urgency (P = 0.29). VS was more effective in treating SUI (P < 0.001 vs. 0.52) while LSC more effective on voiding difficulty (P = 0.01 vs. 0.08). Postoperative de novo symptoms were observed in 35.8% of patients with no difference between the groups (P = 0.06). UDI (P = 0.04) and UIQ (P = 0.01) scores were significantly lower after surgery. However, LSC significantly improved UDI (P = 0.03) with no effect on UIQ (P = 0.29) scores while VS significantly improved both scores (P = 0.02 and 0.001, respectively). Upon multivariate analysis, only the improvement in the impact of urinary symptoms on daily living was independently associated to VS (OR = 5.45 [95% confidence interval 2.20-13.44], P = 0.01). CONCLUSION Most preoperative urinary symptoms decreased after POP surgery with equivalent proportion of de novo symptoms after vaginal and laparoscopic approaches.
