ABSTRACT
INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: El prolapso genital afecta hasta al 50% de las mujeres a nivel mundial, su calidad de vida, percepción corporal y vida sexual. A las pacientes de edad avanzada frecuentemente les ofrecemos técnicas quirúrgicas obliterativas para su manejo. El objetivo fue evaluar los resultados de las técnicas obliterativas basados en nuestra experiencia local. MÉTODOS: análisis retrospectivo de pacientes tratadas con técnicas obliterativas en nuestro hospital entre los años 2008 y 2016. RESULTADOS: se incluyeron 78 pacientes, la edad promedio fue de 74.5 años, 11.5% de las pacientes presentaba comorbilidad de mayor riesgo quirúrgico, 24% eran pacientes histerectomizadas por prolapso y 30.8% presentaba incontinencia de orina al momento de la cirugía. El tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue 52 minutos, 73.1% de las cirugías fueron con técnica de LeFort y 5.1% presentó complicaciones postquirúrgicas precoces. Se contactaron telefónicamente 59 pacientes, 90% refirió mejor calidad de vida, 92% satisfacción con la cirugía, 3.4% recidiva del prolapso y 44% incontinencia urinaria, en su mayoría moderada o severa. La recidiva reportada estuvo acorde a lo reportado en la literatura, pero la incontinencia de orina reportada fue muy alta respecto a lo reportado y de predominio de urgencias. CONCLUSIÓN: las técnicas obliterativas son efectivas en el tratamiento quirúrgico del prolapso y el principal problema postquirúrgico a largo plazo asociado fue la incontinencia de orina de urgencias.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Genital prolapse affects up to 50% of women worldwide, their quality of life, body perception and sex life. For older patients, we often offer obliterative surgical techniques to manage it. The objective was to evaluate the results of the obliterative techniques based on our local experience. METHODS: retrospective analysis of patients treated with obliterative techniques in our hospital between 2008 y 2016. RESULTS: 78 patients were included, with an average age of 74.5 years, 11.5% of the patients had comorbidities of high surgical risk, 24% were previously hysterectomized because of genital prolapse and 30.8% had urinary incontinence at the time of the surgery. Average surgical time was 52 minutes, 73.1% of the surgeries were performed with the LeFort technique and 5.1% presented early postoperative complications. 59 patients were contacted by telephone, 90% reported better quality of life, 92% were satisfied with the surgery, 3.4% had recurrence of the prolapse and 44% reported urinary incontinence, mostly moderate or severe. The reported relapse was in line with what was reported in the literature, but the reported urinary incontinence was very high compared to what was reported, and was predominantly urge incontinence. CONCLUSION: obliterative techniques are effective in the surgical treatment of genital prolapse and the main long term problem after surgery was urge incontinence.

O sling pubovaginal tem sido empregado no tratamento da incontinência urinária de esforço, tanto do tipo deficiência esfincteriana intrínseca como dos tipos anatômica e associada. Complicações ao procedimento são frequentes, porém, simples e transitórias. Os autores relatam um caso de lesão de vasos pélvicos transoperatória (sling pubovaginal), sendo necessária a cirurgia de controle de danos.
The pubovaginal sling is currently being used not only for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) type III as well as for we other types of SUI. The complications are frequent, in general not serious and transitory. The authors report the case of bleeding venous origin, from the fossa of the obturator nerve, the iliac plexus and presacral plexus and necessary the damage control.

OBJECTIVES: To study the cure rate and 5 year results of laparoscopic burch colposuspension for stress urinary incontinence in Thai women. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Twenty one Thai women with stress urinary incontinence attending the gynecology clinic at King Chulalongkorn Memorial hospital were recruited. Pre operative clinical and urodynamic evaluation were done. They underwent Laparoscopic burch colposuspension between January - December 1998. The cure rate was evaluated by clinical and urodynamic examination. RESULTS: The mean +/- SD of operative time, blood loss and hospital stay were 70 +/- 20 min, 140 +/- 30 ml and 1.6 +/- 0.5 days respectively. The complication rate was 19.1% (Bladder injuries 2 cases, voiding difficulties 1 case and de novo detrusor overactivity 1 case). The objective cure rate at 5 years was 76.2%. CONCLUSION: The authors found that the cure rate was rather low in laparoscopic burch colposuspension. Due to the long operative time, the requirement of complicated instruments and well trained physicians, the authors suggested that this technique should be selected only in cases of women with concomitant gynecologic disease that required lapascopic surgery.

BACKGROUND: The Intravaginal slingplasty procedure (IVS) is a minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Too much tension during pulling the tape and the incorrect placing of the tape can cause urinary retention that may require release of the tape. CASE REPORT: A fifty one years old women with SUI had undergone IVS procedure in a private hospital. After the surgery, urinary retention occurred with prolonged catheterization for 20 days. The patient came to King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital on the 21st day after the operation. Surgical release of the tape which was located at the urethrovesical junction rather than the midurethera was done. The patient remained stress continent after the tape was released confirmed by the videourodynamic study one month later. CONCLUSION: Too much tension, insertion of the tape too close to the urethrovesical junction or the tape migration may be the causes of prolonged urinary retention after IVS procedure. The authors found the surgical release of the tape to be the effective management for this complication. Pre-service training in models and practice under the supervision of an experienced surgeon are needed before attempting any on their own. From the authors extensive review, this is the first case report of urinary retention after IVS procedure that required tape incision.
