Developing a procedure mimicking transvaginal mesh implantation in women in a modified POP rat model

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionThis study aims to establish a simple and reproducible transvaginal mesh surgery rat model based on the modified pelvic organ prolapse rat model.MethodsA total of 24 10-week-old female nulliparous Wistar rats were used in this study.

Pessaries (mechanical devices) for managing pelvic organ prolapse in women [PDF]

, 2020
Background Pelvic organ prolapse is a common problem in women. About 40% of women will experience prolapse in their lifetime, with the proportion expected to rise in line with an ageing population.

Combination of Anterior and Posterior Vaginal Mesh Implants and Delorme Procedure in a 94-year-old female with Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Nigerian Postgraduate Medical Journal
Pelvic organ prolapse refers to the descent of pelvic floor organs resulting from the weakening of pelvic muscles, fascia and connective tissue. The overall prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse is approximately 41%, including bladder prolapse (25%–34 ...

Pelvic organ prolapse and overactive bladder [PDF]

Neurourology and Urodynamics, 2009
AbstractAimsIn this review we try to shed light on the following questions: How frequently are symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) and is detrusor overactivity (DO) present in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and is there a difference from women without POP?

Lactation is Associated with Accelerated Postpartum Pelvic Floor Muscle Recovery in a Pregnant Simulated Birth Injury Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthy pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are essential for proper pelvic floor function. The biggest risk factor for PFM dysfunction is injury sustained during vaginal childbirth, yet the factors that facilitate or impair PFM recovery from birth injury remain unknown.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.
