Abstract Introduction and hypothesis Midurethral sling (MUS) is now the first line surgical treatment for female stress urinary incontinence. Our aim was to identify predictors for MUS failure. Methods A total of 1,225 consecutive women with urodynamic urinary stress incontinence had a synthetic MUS (955 retropubic and 270 transobturator) at our institution between 1999 and 2007. Multivariate analysis was performed in order to identify independent risk factors for failure. Results and conclusions At a mean follow-up of 50 ± 24 months (range, 12–114), the subjec...

We report a case of urethral duplication in a woman with uterovaginal and rectal prolapse but without other associated congenital anomalies.

Conclusions ATT, NE, and LOXl-1 expression was variable among different biopsy sites in the vagina. No consistent pattern was present when the subjects were grouped by the most prominent defect. We recommend careful consideration of biopsy sites in future studies on POP to enhance reproducibility of data.

Reoperation rate for traditional anterior vaginal repair: analysis of 207 cases with a median 4-year follow-upEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions While the anatomical recurrence rates for cystocele following traditional anterior colporrhaphy might be high, the low reoperation rate at more than 4 years (3.4%) suggests that patient's symptoms might not be bothersome enough to require further surgery. Both subjective and anatomical outcomes are required to assess the outcome of both traditional and new prolapse procedures.
