RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: Understanding the risk of urinary retention with different prolapse repair surgical procedures is important for perioperative counseling. OBJECTIVE: The study compared postoperative urinary retention rates between robotic sacrocolpopexy and robotic uterosacral ligament suspension. STUDY DESIGN: This institutional review board-exempt retrospective cohort study compared patients who underwent pelvic organ prolapse repair with robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSCP) and robotic uterosacral ligament suspension (RUSLS) between June 2018 and March 2022. Our primary outcome was the rate of acute postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in these groups. Secondary outcomes were the number of days needed to resolve urinary retention and persistent voiding dysfunction. RESULTS: Out of 298 patients, 258 underwent RSCP and 40 underwent RUSLS. Acute POUR was found in 73 patients (24%): 46 patients (18%) in the RSCP group versus 26 patients (65%) in the RUSLS group (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated a significantly higher rate of acute POUR after RUSLS (odds ratio [OR] = 17.92, confidence interval [CI] = 3.06-104.86; P = 0.001). Patients with an elevated preoperative postvoid residual volume >100 mL or concomitant midurethral sling were more likely to develop POUR (OR = 2.93, CI = 1.43-5.98; P = 0.003 and OR = 2.19, CI = 1.16-4.14; P = 0.016, respectively). While patients with higher parity were less likely to have urinary retention (OR = 0.71, CI = 0.53-0.96; P = 0.024), age, body mass index, prolapse stage, and concurrent posterior repair did not affect the urinary retention rate significantly. The number of days needed to resolve POUR and persistent voiding dysfunction were similar. CONCLUSIONS: Acute POUR appears more likely to develop after RUSLS compared to RSCP. Elevated preoperative postvoid residual volume and concomitant midurethral sling surgery independently increase the risk of POUR.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: Pudendal nerve block has been frequently used as a pain management modality for vaginal prolapse surgery. However, studies investigating its efficacy and the type of anesthetic used have had conflicting results. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intraoperative pudendal nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine on postoperative pain after sacrospinous ligament suspension surgery. STUDY DESIGN: In this single-blinded randomized controlled trial, 83 women undergoing sacrospinous ligament suspension were randomized to receive either intraoperative pudendal nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine or no block. Participants recorded their pain level on postoperative days (PODs) 1-3 and 7, the number of pain medication pills consumed, and the quality of their recovery using a validated questionnaire. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in pain scores between the groups on POD 1 and POD 3: 5 (2-6.25) versus 5.5 (4-8; P = 0.058) and 4 (1-6) versus 5 (2-7; P = 0.146), respectively. On POD 2, the overall pain score was statistically different between the groups, with the block group having lower interquartile ranges. This difference, however, was not clinically significant: 5 (1.75-5) versus 5 (3.25-7.75; P = 0.023). In the subset of participants who underwent a concomitant midurethral sling procedure, POD 2 and POD3 pain scores were significantly lower in those who received the block: 3 (1-5) versus 6 (5-8; P = 0.006) for POD 2 and 3 (1-5) versus 5 (3.250-7; P = 0.042) for POD 3. There were no significant differences in pain medication consumption or the quality of recovery scores. CONCLUSION: Pudendal nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine did not result in significant differences in postoperative pain after sacrospinous ligament suspension, except in those participants who underwent a concomitant midurethral sling procedure.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe effects of vaginal estrogen (VE) on the urogenital microbiome in postmenopausal women with recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs). METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of 17 participants enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of VE versus placebo on urinary tract infection recurrence in postmenopausal women with rUTIs. Paired clean-catch urine samples were collected at baseline and after 6 months of VE and sequenced using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Sequence reads were analyzed using Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology 2. Changes in α diversity, ß diversity, and differentially abundant genera were measured between paired baseline and 6-month samples and between those with a urinary tract infection at 6 months (failures) and those without (successes). RESULTS: Of the 17 women, 11 were successes and 6 were failures after 6 months of VE treatment. There was a significant change in α diversity from baseline to month 6 in samples overall (Kruskal-Wallis χ2 = 3.47, P = 0.037) and in the treatment success group (Yuen T = -2.53, P = 0.035). The increase in relative abundance of Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, and Lactobacillus iners AB-1 was correlated with month 6. A relative bloom of L. crispatus compared with L. gasseri was associated with treatment success (Kruskal-Wallis χ2 = 4.9, P = 0.0014). CONCLUSIONS: Lactobacillus increases in the urogenital microbiome of postmenopausal women with rUTI after 6 months of VE. However, only the relative increase in L. crispatus specifically may be associated with treatment success.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to compare the efficacy of 2 commonly used contemporary vaginal estrogen administrations versus placebo for the prevention of urinary tract infection (UTI) in postmenopausal women with a clinical diagnosis of recurrent UTI (rUTI). METHODS: This was an investigator-initiated, multicenter, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of vaginal estrogen (delivered via ring or cream) compared with placebo. Postmenopausal women with documented rUTI were randomized to receive either vaginal estrogen (via ring or cream) or placebo cream in a 1:1:1 fashion. The primary outcome was occurrence of UTI at 6 months. After 6 months, open-label use of ring or active cream was offered to all participants for an additional 6 months. Because of slower than expected recruitment, sample size calculations and block randomization schema were revised to combine estrogen groups (ring or cream) for statistical comparisons to placebo cream in a 1:1 fashion. RESULTS: Thirty-five women were randomized with 9 dropouts (1 ring, 2 cream, and 6 placebo) prior to the 6 months. Intention-to-treat analysis (assuming dropouts as failures) revealed fewer women treated with vaginal estrogen had a UTI within 6 months versus placebo (11/18 vs 16/17, respectively; P = 0.041). Per-protocol analysis revealed fewer subjects treated with vaginal estrogen had a UTI at 6 months (8/15 vs 10/11, respectively; P = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS: Commonly prescribed forms of vaginal estrogen with contemporary dosing schedules prevent UTIs in postmenopausal women with an active diagnosis of rUTI.

RESUMO

AIMS: Traditional technology to characterize urethral pressure changes during dynamic conditions is limited by slow response times or artifact-inducing withdrawal maneuvers. The 8F high-resolution manometry (HRM) catheter (ManoScan™ ESO, Covidien) has advantages of fast response times and the ability to measure urethral pressures along the urethral length without withdrawal. Our objective was to determine static and dynamic maximum urethral closure pressures (MUCPs) and resting functional urethral length (FUL) in women using HRM before and after transurethral bulking and compare results to other women who underwent midurethral sling (MUS). METHODS: We recorded rest, cough, and strain MUCPs and FUL in 24 women before and after transurethral bulking with polydimethylsiloxane (Macroplastique®) using the HRM catheter and compared these changes to HRM values from 26 women who had the same measures before and after MUS. RESULTS: At rest, MUCPs increased minimally after both urethral bulking and MUS (3 vs 0.4 cm H2 O respectively, P = 0.4). Under dynamic conditions there were statistically insignificant small increases in MUCP and these increases were markedly less than after MUS (cough: 1.5 vs 63.8 cm H2 O, P < 0.001 and strain: 11.5 vs 57.7 cm H2 O, P < 0.001). FUL increased by 0.5 cm after transurethral bulking (P = 0.003), and decreased by 0.25 cm after MUS placement (P = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS: The mechanism of continence after urethral bulking differs from MUS. While MUS increases dynamic MUCP, bulking may rely on increasing the length of the continence zone.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of hormone therapy (HT) use on pelvic organ support. METHODS: A retrospective observational study involving postmenopausal women with pelvic floor dysfunction attending a tertiary urogynecology center between January 2012 and March 2015. All underwent a clinical examination including International Continence Society Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification and 4D translabial ultrasound imaging. Information on current or former use of systemic HT and current local estrogen use was collected. Main outcome measure was pelvic organ support. RESULTS: One thousand four hundred forty-three women were seen during the study period. On univariate analysis, current HT was significantly associated with sonographically determined descent of the rectal ampulla (ß [95% confidence interval] 3.4 mm [0.4-6.5], P = 0.03) and Gh + Pb (-0.45 mm [-0.8 to -0.1], P = 0.005). Past HT use, duration of HT use, or current vaginal estrogen use was not associated with pelvic organ support. On multivariate analysis controlling for age, parity, body mass index, history of forceps delivery, and avulsion, the association between current HT on the one hand and Gh + Pb as well as increased descent of the rectal ampulla on ultrasound, remained significant (P = 0.008 and P = 0.012, respectively). CONCLUSION: HT may have a minor negative effect on pelvic organ support; however, the effect is likely too small to be clinically relevant.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to ascertain the practices and opinions of US maternal-fetal medicine specialists regarding termination of pregnancy as a management option following late diagnosis of lethal fetal anomalies. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a cross-sectional mail survey of all US members of the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine to ascertain how they manage pregnancies diagnosed with lethal fetal anomalies after 24 weeks of gestation. We analyzed the proportion of respondents that discuss termination of pregnancy as a management option, barriers to offering or accessing late termination services, and respondents' opinions about what anomalies are lethal and when pregnancy termination should be permitted. RESULTS: The response rate was 41% (869/2119). Nearly all (93%) respondents discuss delivery near term or when complications arise, while 75% discuss the option of termination of pregnancy soon after the diagnosis of lethal fetal anomalies. Only 52% of the physicians indicated that their patients could obtain termination of pregnancy after 24 weeks at their affiliated medical centers or through providers within 50 miles. Real or perceived legal restrictions represented the most common reason for lack of local services. The proportion of respondents that felt strongly or very strongly that termination of pregnancy should be allowed was 76% for lethal anomalies and 58% for anomalies likely to result in significant long-term impairment. CONCLUSION: Although limited by a modest response rate, our study found that physicians do not consistently discuss immediate termination of pregnancy as an option following late diagnosis of lethal fetal anomalies, and they face numerous barriers to providing these services. IMPLICATIONS: This national survey supports the need for improved services for pregnant women who desire later termination of pregnancy following diagnosis of serious fetal anomalies. Helpful efforts might include educating physicians about the laws and regulations governing late termination of pregnancy, forging more consistent standards of care, and improving collaboration between MFM specialists and family planning providers to enhance access to care.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to correlate carotid black blood MRI based measurements with those obtained by ultrasound intima-media thickness (IMT). Seventeen patients with intermediate to high Framingham cardiovascular risk score underwent both carotid ultrasound and rapid extended coverage double inversion recovery black blood carotid MRI. Overall, there was good correlation between wall area, wall thickness, and plaque index measured by MRI and the IMT measurements obtained from the ultrasound images (max r2 = 0.72, p < 0.05). Patients with mean IMT > or = 1.2 mm had significantly higher values of wall area, plaque index and wall thickness compared to patients with mean IMT < 1.2 mm. Vessel wall measurements assessed by black-blood MRI may be potentially used clinically to evaluate plaque progression and regression.
