Modified Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual function Questionnaire was then mailed to all patients to assess the postoperative sexual function and vaginal bulge. Outcomes were measured according to the postoperative follow-up data and the questionnaire results. Cure was defined as postoperative grade 0 rectocele according to Baden-Walker classification; improvement meant a lower grade rectocele than preoperatively, while same or higher grade rectocele than preoperative one was considered failure. \u0000Forty-one patients were included in this study with a mean age of 62.6 years and mean parity of 2.6. Twenty 2 (53.5%) patients had previous hysterectomy and 4 (9.8%) had previous failed rectocele repair. Preoperative rectocele grade was grade I in 8 (19.5%) patients, grade II in 29 (70.7%), and grade III in 4 (9.8%). After a mean follow-up of 2.5 (1.5–6) years, 40 patients (97.55%) were cured and 1 (2.45%) improved. Thirty patients replied the modified Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual function Questionnaire (73% response rate) and reported improvement in all the individual domains and absence of the vaginal bulge compared with the preoperative status. Postoperative complications included vaginal infection in 7 patients (17.1%), constipation in 4 (9.8%), dyspareunia in 2 (6.6%), and vaginal hematoma in 1 (2.45%). None of the patients had graft exposure. \u0000Rectocele repair using Tutoplast facia lata is a safe and effective procedure with minimal complications.","PeriodicalId":89591,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pelvic medicine & surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"173-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/SPV.0B013E3181B1235C","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61718053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, demographic, socioeconomic, and medical history was obtained along with detailed information related to defecatory function using responses to the following questions: “Do you ever have difficulty having a bowel movement?” “Do you ever have to push on your vagina or around your rectum to have or complete a bowel movement?” Frequencies for each of these symptoms were characterized as less than once per year, more than once per year but less than once per month, more than once per month but less than once per week, at least once per week but not every day, and every day. The degree of bother related to each symptom was assessed using a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). Women were also asked to report the frequency of laxative or stool softener use. For the purpose of this study, constipation was defined as difficulty having a bowel movement more than once a week, splinting was defined as any pushing on the vagina or rectum to complete a bowel movement more than once per year, and defecatory dysfunction was defined as having either constipation, splinting or both. Conditions potentially associated with defecatory dysfunction including age, race, body mass index (BMI), parity, mode of delivery, hormone and menopausal status, smoking, depression, diabetes, neurologic disease, pulmonary disease, and pelvic surgery were explored using Mann-Whitney U tests. In addition, prevalence of defecatory dysfunction was compared based on the presence or absence of each of the PFD using chi-square tests. Mean VAS bother scores for defecatory dysfunction were compared in women with and without PFD using Student’s t-tests. Logistic regression was used to assess the relative impact of each PFD on defecatory dysfunction while controlling for confounding variables. These are reported in adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Associations at a two-sided p-value of less than 0.05 were considered significant.","PeriodicalId":89591,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pelvic medicine & surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"179-187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/SPV.0B013E3181B12E01","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61717704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A preliminary approach can be laparoscopic evacuation of hematocolpos and hemoperitoneum. Materials/Methods: A preliminary approach to the traditional method is described for a patient with a high transverse vaginal septum presenting at puberty. This includes laparoscopic evacuation of hematocolpos and hemoperitonium to relieve pain, endometrial suppression with oral contraceptive pills to prevent recurrent hematocolpos, and motivation and preparation of the patient for pre- and postoperative vaginal dilatation. Result: This approach is well tolerated by the patient. After 1 year, the patient underwent resection of the septum and had an acceptable compliance with postoperative vaginal dilatation. Conclusion: This preliminary approach can prepare and motivate the patient and may decrease the incidence of endometriosis because of complete removal of blood from the pelvis and abdomen.","PeriodicalId":89591,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pelvic medicine & surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"217-219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/SPV.0B013E3181B204BB","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61718638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
