ABSTRACT Objective To compare the differences in levator ani muscle biometry and hiatal dimensions between pregnant nulliparous Caucasian East Asian women. Methods Offline analysis of three/four‐dimensional ultrasound volume data obtained from two groups women, Asian, was performed. Volume acquisition performed late third trimester using same method both groups, context prospective observational studies with identical entry criteria. Pelvic organ descent were assessed volumes acquired on...
ABSTRACT Objective Ethnicity has been suggested to be a significant risk factor for pelvic organ prolapse (POP); yet, descent in different ethnic groups, especially Asian populations, is not well studied. The aim of this study was compare stages, and hiatal dimensions between East Caucasian women presenting with symptoms POP. Methods This prospective observational POP tertiary urogynecology clinic in, respectively, Hong Kong Sydney. Demographic data, stage were assessed. Physical examination...
Levator ani muscle (LAM) injury is common after first vaginal delivery, and a higher incidence associated with instrumental delivery. This study was conducted to compare the of LAM forceps or ventouse extraction in primiparous Chinese women, their subsequent health-related quality life.This prospective observational between 1 September 2011 31 May 2012 tertiary obstetric unit. All eligible women who had undergone delivery were recruited 3 days following The subjects completed Pelvic Floor...
Background Women suffering from urinary incontinence have impaired quality of life ( Q o L ). Pelvic floor muscle training PFMT ) has been recommended to be the first‐line treatment for them. Aims This study evaluated role in women with incontinence. Materials and Methods All without pelvic organ prolapse who attended urogynaecology unit a university hospital January 2009 June 2010 were recruited. Urinary symptoms impact on assessed using C hinese validated U rogenital D istress I nventory...
A method of measuring the subpubic arch angle using three-dimensional transperineal ultrasound scan (3DTUS) was developed, and intraoperator repeatability interoperator reproducibility were investigated.Using 3DTUS, volume data sets obtained from nine nulliparous pregnant women by three operators (A, B, C) in each study sessions. With reconstruction, a plane along inferior edges bilateral pubic rami on axial section. The made between innermost points both at level urethra inferoposterior...
Objective To compare the 1‐year and 5‐year outcomes of transobturator tension‐free vaginal tape with outside‐in inside‐out approaches in women urinary stress incontinence, to identify risk factors for treatment failure at 5 years. Method A prospective observational study was carried out incontinence who underwent from S eptember 2004 M arch 2008 a tertiary urogynecology center. Women ( n = 213) had either an 124) or 89) procedure. They were followed up annually until years after operation....
To evaluate pelvic floor biometry of women 3-5 years after their first delivery. The effect a subsequent delivery and the mode on were also studied.Three-hundred twenty-eight who had been examined by translabial ultrasound during singleton pregnancy at 8 weeks 1 year postpartum, invited for follow-up later. positions bladder neck, cervix, anorectal junction hiatal area (HA) evaluated using ultrasound. effects parity, levator ani muscle avulsion studied.A total 240 completed study. Of these,...
Mesh repair surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has been suspended in some countries owing to concerns about its associated complications. However, mesh shown reduce the risk of recurrence after surgery. In view this controversy, our aim was assess incidence subjective and objective POP following vs native-tissue women with Stage-III or Stage-IV POP.
Vaginal delivery has been identified as risk on pelvic floor; 18–35% of Caucasian women having their first vaginal were found with levator ani muscle injury (LAM). Variation in connective tissue quality was between ethnicity. This study aims at examining the prevalence LAM after primiparous Chinese women. Nulliparous singleton pregnancies recruited. Trans-labial 3D-ultrasound 35–38 weeks gestation and 8 post-delivery performed rest floor contraction. Demographic data collected mode...
To evaluate the relationship between antenatal pelvic floor biometry and levator ani muscle (LAM) injury in Chinese women.Three-dimensional transperineal ultrasound was performed nulliparous women with a singleton pregnancy at 9-12 weeks, 26-28 weeks 36-38 of gestation again 12 months after delivery. Hiatal anteroposterior (AP) diameter, transverse diameter area were measured on volumes obtained rest, Valsalva maneuver during contraction (PFMC). LAM evaluated using PFMC delivery.In total,...
