To compare conventional laparoscopic and robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy for vaginal apex prolapse.This single-center, blinded randomized trial included participants with stage 2-4 posthysterectomy prolapse. Participants were to or robotic sacrocolpopexy. The primary outcome was total operative time from incision closure. Secondary outcomes postoperative pain, functional activity, bowel bladder symptoms, quality of life, anatomic support, cost a health care system perspective.A 78 patients...

A research nurse administered Urogenital Distress Inventory, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, pelvic examinations using organ prolapse quantification system preoperatively, at 6 months, year, years Voiding...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To construct and validate a prediction model for estimating the risk of de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after vaginal pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery compare it with predictions using preoperative testing expert surgeons' predictions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using data set (n=457) from Outcomes Following Vaginal Prolapse Repair Midurethral Sling trial, 12 clinical predictors SUI was constructed. De determined by Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory responses...
