[Bonney maneuver and its derivatives: History, technique, significance and prognostic value]. / Manœuvre de Bonney et ses dérivés : histoire, technique, signification et valeur pronostique.

INTRODUCTION: Historically a positive Bonney maneuver indicates the need for surgical management of stress urinary incontinence. This maneuver is regularly used in French daily practice without formal proof of its predictive value. MATERIAL: A Medline search was performed with the terms "Bonney test" and "urinary incontinence" to include 10 relevant articles in this review. RESULTS: Eight articles study the mechanism of the maneuver or its derivatives, evoking a direct pressure on the urethra. Two studies are interested in the real predictivity of the maneuvers on the success of surgical treatment by urethral strip, reporting a positive predictive value of the Bonney maneuver between 96.2 and 100%. CONCLUSION: Further studies are needed to objectify the utility of this maneuver.

[Feasability and morbidity of apical and anterior mesh repair, a multicenter cohort study]. / Suspension utérovaginale prothétique par fixation obturatrice et sacrospinofixation bilatérale, étude multicentrique.

OBJECTIVE: To assess safety anatomic results, satisfaction patient and to report short-term results of a new surgical approach for a combined treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) of anterior and medium compartments. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A longitudinal case series of 83 consecutive patients operated between January 2012 and April 2014 in four tertiary centers by 8 surgeons. Potential complications have been reported. The satisfaction of patients was conducted at 6 weeks post-procedure. The anatomical evaluation was conducted at 6 weeks and 6 months post-procedure. Anatomic success was defined as prolapse stage<1 (POPQ) for both anterior and apical compartment. RESULTS: Mean age was 69.2±8.6 years. There were two intraoperative complications: a bladder injury and an ureteral injury. Postoperative complications were 14/83 (16.8%) transient urinary retentions. Seventy-three patients out of 83 (87.9%) were available for anatomic evaluation at 6 months. Anatomical success at 6 months for both anterior and apical compartments was 68/73 (93.1%). Patient satisfaction rate at 6 months was 79/83 (95.1%). Four subjects/73 (5.5%) experienced mesh exposure treated conservatively. CONCLUSION: In the current series, uterovaginal suspension anterior using a mesh Nuvia® was associated with correct anatomical results and a good satisfaction of patients. This technique seems reproducible and associated with few complications. Prospective, comparative and long-term data are required to confirm these results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

[Results, safety and patient satisfaction at 6 months of vaginal anterior wall prolapse surgery by transvaginal repair with mesh use]. / Résultats, tolérance et satisfaction des patientes à 6mois d'une cure de cystocèle par voie vaginale avec pose de prothèse.

OBJECTIVE: To assess at 6 months the efficiency, the safety and the satisfaction of a lightweight polypropylene mesh used for the transvaginal repair of cystocele by bilateral anterior sacrospinous ligament fixation (NUVIA™ SI). MATERIEL AND METHODS: A prospective cohort study was performed from January 2014 to June 2015. Preoperative assessment included an evaluation using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system (POP-Q) and 3 questionnaires about symptoms, quality of life and quality of sex life (PFDI-20, PFIQ7, PISQ-12). Results were evaluated by a composite criteria: Ba≤0, absence of bulge sensation and absence of reoperation for cystocele recurrence. Secondary objectives were to assess the complications rates and patient's satisfaction. RESULTS: In 10 months, 16 patients, with a mean age of 61.9±8.8years, were included and evaluated by an independent observator at 6months. Four patients were sexually active before surgery and 5 at 6 months. Results were optimal in 93.75% cases (15/16) with one intraoperative injury (bladder injury) and one postoperative complication (increase of preoperative dyspareunia). Satisfaction rate was 93.75% (15/16) and questionnaires PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 were statistically improved (P<0.0001 and P=0.0013). Three patients had a reintervention but not about anterior wall prolapse (section of a suburethral sling for urinary retention, suburethral sling exposure and cure of stress urinary incontinence). CONCLUSION: At short term, transvaginal mesh repair by anterior sacrospinous ligament fixation with NUVIA™ presents 93.75% optimal result with one case of increased dyspareunia and 3 reoperations which don't concern anterior wall (urinary outcomes). LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

Trends in urinary incontinence in women between 4 and 24 months postpartum in the EDEN cohort.

OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to study risk factors associated with the prevalence, incidence and remission of urinary incontinence (UI) between 4 and 24 months postpartum. DESIGN: Longitudinal study (EDEN cohort). SETTING: Two French university hospitals. POPULATION: 1643 women completed the questionnaire at 4 months and 1409 at 24 months, including 1354 who completed it both times. METHODS: Multivariate analyses identified risk factors for UI prevalence at 24 months postpartum, persistent UI versus remission, de novo UI versus continence, de novo UI versus persistent UI, and changes in IU severity between 4 and 24 months postpartum. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Postnatal UI and Sandvik UI severity score. RESULTS: UI prevalence was 20.7% (340/1643) at 4 months and 19.9% (280/1409) at 24 months. Significant factors associated with UI at 24 months were older age [OR = 1.07/year (95%CI 1.04-1.11)], BMI [2.35 (1.44-3.85) ≥30 versus <25 kg/m²], higher parity [1.77 (1.14-2.76) ≥3 versus 1], breastfeeding [1.54 (1.08-2.19) ≥3 versus < 3 months], pregnant at follow up [3.44 (2.25-5.26)], and caesarean delivery [0.62 (0.40-0.97) versus vaginal] [OR, odds ratio (CI, confidence interval)]. The likelihood of UI remission at 24 months was 51.9% (149/287). Caesarean delivery was associated with increased likelihood of UI remission [0.43 (0.19-0.97)]. The risk of de novo UI at 24 months was 12.5% (135/1067) and was associated with a new pregnancy [3.63 (2.13-6.20)]. CONCLUSIONS: Between 4 and 24 months postpartum UI, remission occurred in half of the cases. These postnatal UI changes were essentially related to mode of delivery and subsequent pregnancy. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Postnatal urinary incontinence progression is mostly related with mode of delivery and subsequent pregnancy.

[Vaginal mesh exposure after prolapse surgery. A descriptive study of 43 cases: Epidemiology and therapeutic management]. / Expositions prothétiques vaginales après chirurgie du prolapsus. Étude descriptive sur 43 cas: épidémiologie et prise en charge thérapeutique.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence and time of occurrence of vaginal mesh exposure based on the initial surgical approach of prolaps. To describe their therapeutic management. MATERIAL: Descriptive retrospective study of 43 women followed for vaginal mesh exposure diagnosed during a follow-up visit or motivated by symptoms. The initial surgery was performed abdominally (promontofixation) or vaginally. The therapeutic management was carried out by medical and/or surgical (prosthetic resection partial or complete). RESULTS: The prevalence of vaginal exposure was 7.3% in case of vaginal initial surgery and 2.8% in case of promontofixation initial (P=0.02). Mesh exposure have appeared earlier in case of vaginal initial surgery compared to promontofixation (14.9 months vs. 45.2 months). After vaginal initial surgery, vaginal mesh exposure appeared to third within 6 months postoperatively (9/29). The success rate of medical treatment was 21.4%. In total, 31% of women initially made vaginally and 64.9% of women initially made abdominally required at least two surgeries to get a cure. CONCLUSION: Vaginal mesh exposure may be away from the initial surgery, especially when the first initial surgery was abdominal. The medical treatment of vaginal mesh exposure led to poor results. The overall rate of healing in our experience was good but at the cost of considerable morbidity as a significant proportion of patients required two or more surgical interventions.
