Expectancy in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery and Recovery: Factor Structure and Validity
Women describe pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery as difficult to recover from. Expectancy is related to recovery in other surgeries but has not been examined in POP. There is no established measure of surgery expectancy or utility in women with POP. This research had four aims: 1) to establish …

In vitro screening of inflammatory cell responses to polypropylene-based surgical mesh used in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse
… of polypropylene-based mesh used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) as it was repurposed for gynecological surgery without pre-clinical or clinical testing. Foreign materials implanted in the body activate an immune response that can result in chronic …

Anisotropy of Passive and Active Rat Vagina under Biaxial Loading
Pelvic organ prolapse, the decent of the pelvic organs from their normal anatomical position, is a common condition among women that is associated with mechanical alterations of the vaginal wall. In order to characterize the complex mechanical behavior of the vagina, we performed planar biaxial …

The impact of first pregnancy and delivery on pelvic floor dysfunction
… childbirth has the greatest impact on a woman’s pelvic floor when major changes occur. The aim of this study was to comprehensively describe pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in young nulliparous women, and its correlation with postnatal pathology. Methods: A prospective study was performed at Cork …

Comparison of short-term outcomes between two sacrospinous suture capture devices : a randomised controlled trial
… for mid-compartment apical suspension in pelvic organ prolapse surgery with high success rates. The approach by traditional wide dissection has been well-documented. The literature is lacking however with regard to newer devices on the market that use less extensive dissection to perform …

Effect of Heavy Lifting with a Head Strap on the Pelvic Floor across the Menstrual Cycle
<p>Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs in 10% of women in Nepal, even 6% of nulliparous women have symptomatic POP.1 This may be linked to the heavy lifting tasks performed by women using a head strap.2 This study explored the impact of hormonal changes on the pelvic floor when …

Tensile Properties of Single Vaginal Smooth Muscle Cells
Improving treatment and prevention of pelvic organ prolapse, a disorder affecting up to half of parous women, requires thorough mechanical analysis of the vagina and other endopelvic structures at the cellular level. In this study, we tested single vaginal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to quantify …

Zearalenone contamination in swine feed and the effects on reproductive health
… related to severe reproductive issues including pelvic organ prolapse (POP), which describes the displacement of pelvic floor organs from their healthy anatomical positions. A recent rise in the rate of POP in sows highlights a need for more information surrounding the occurrence of ZEN in swine …
