Abstract Introduction and hypothesis A terminology standardized classification has yet to be developed for those complications arising directly from the insertion of synthetic (prostheses) biological (grafts) materials in female pelvic floor surgery. Methods This report on above combines input members Standardization Terminology Committees two International Organizations, Urogynecological Association (IUGA) Continence Society (ICS) a Joint IUGA/ICS Working Group Complications Terminology,...
To assess the reproducibility of a new method for evaluation bladder neck with perineal ultrasound and to compare it lateral chain urethrocystography. In first phase, two investigators examined 40 patients using measurement determination position. second 60 were evaluated by With ultrasound, there was good interexaminer agreement determining position, funneling, descent at rest during Valsalva maneuver, but not posterior angle β straining. Comparison sonographic x-ray assessments showed...

To evaluate pelvic floor muscle strength before and after vaginal birth.Prospective repeated measures study.Main district hospital.Fifty-five women: 25 primiparae 20 multiparae following birth, 10 women elective caesarean delivery as a control group.Pelvic was evaluated by palpation, perineometry perineal ultrasound childbirth in the 36th to 42nd week of pregnancy, three eight days postpartum six ten weeks postpartum.Pelvic on intravaginal squeeze pressure vesical neck elevation during...
To assess changes in urethral movement during the Valsalva maneuver and pelvic floor muscle contraction following vaginal delivery. In a prospective repeated-measures study, 25 primigravidas, 20 multiparas, ten women who were to have elective cesarean delivery examined sonographially at 36–42 weeks of pregnancy 6–10 after Vesical neck position rest excursion maximum measured with perineal ultrasound. Data about resting bladder elevation compared findings age-matched nulligravid volunteers....
The aim of this study was to describe normal characteristics spontaneous and voluntary pelvic muscle function in nulliparous healthy continent women assess the reaction floor stress fatigue. Ten volunteers were recruited. Pelvic strength evaluated by palpation perineal ultrasound. Kinesiological EMG ultrasound performed test for possible fatigue bladder neck mobility during coughing with a pre-contraction muscles. Bladder did not increase after attempts descent significantly less when...
Objective To describe the sonographic appearance of normal anal sphincter anatomy and defects evaluated with a conventional 5 MHz convex transducer placed on perineum. Design Prospective, single‐blind study. Setting Department Obstetrics Gynecology, University Michigan Medical Center, USA. Population Twenty‐five women symptoms faecal incontinence, 11 asymptomatic nulliparous women, 32 parous women. Methods A scanner was perineum woman in lithotomy position. Images were taken at three levels...
Objective: To evaluate a new sonographic method to measure depth and width of proximal urethral dilation during coughing Valsalva maneuver report its use in group stress-incontinent continent women. Methods: Fifty-eight women were evaluated, 30 with 28 without stress incontinence proven urodynamically, bladder volume 300 mL the subjects upright. Urethral pressure profiles at rest performed 10 French microtip catheter. Bladder neck descent assessed by perineal ultrasound (5 MHz curved linear...
Objective To evaluate the mobility of vesical neck during coughing and valsalva in healthy nulliparous volunteers to test reliability technique applied. Design Clinical observational study. Setting Department Obstetrics Gynaecology, Cantonal Hospital Lucerne, Switzerland. Population Thirty‐nine volunteers. Methods Vesical motion was assessed with perineal ultrasound. Intra–abdominal pressure controlled for an intrarectal probe. Intra‐rater evaluated. Results significantly lower (8 mm, SD 4...
Abstract This is a report on the fundamentals of perineal ultrasound examination for female incontinenze. The measurement method described here enabled us to determine position bladder neck, size retrovesical angle β and occurrence funnelling. In four different investigations, each involving at least 30 patients, we investigated influence position, filling volume pressure probe against perineum these measurements analyzed difference between coughing Valsalva maneuver. results showed that...
To compare pregnancy outcomes between morbidly obese and nonobese women to determine the effect of gestational weight gain on outcome in women. A retrospective cohort study was conducted comparing 613 11,313 who were delivered a singleton live birth. Morbid obesity defined as body mass index greater than 35. The incidence selected perinatal neonatal assessed for two groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis used evaluate association morbid various measures while controlling potential...
