Adenomyotic cyst is a rare form of adenomyosis. To our knowledge, a recurrent prolapsed giant uterine polyp comprised of adenomyotic cysts and with different pathogenesis from the original polyp has not been reported in the literature. This case report describes a 29 year old woman with meno/metrrorrhagia, who was found to have a large recurrent uterine polyp prolapsed into the vagina at two and a half years after removal of an initial large uterine polyp. The initial polyp was a large uterine leiomyoma protruding through cervix. The recurrent giant polyp was comprised of adenomyotic cysts. Thus, this case report demonstrates that a prolapsed giant polyp of the uterine corpus can be caused by enlarged adenomyotic cysts inside the polyp. The pathogenesis of a recurrent uterine polyp may be different from that of the initial polyp.展开更多

Juvenile polyps are seen in 4% - 12% of cases during pediatric colonoscopies. In children, rectal bleeding is a frequent warning sign, often a recurrent bleed with no impact on general condition. Diagnosis is based on clinical, imaging and digestive investigations, but anatomopathological examination remains the only means of confirmation. There are a number of treatment options, ranging from abstention to surgical excision. We report two (2) cases of isolated hemorrhagic juvenile polyp prolapsed to the anus in order to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic features of this pathology. Patients and observations: A 7-year-old female patient presented to the pediatric emergency department of the Donka National Hospital with a hemorrhagic anal mass. On clinical examination, the patient was found to be in satisfactory general condition, with a hemorrhagic pedicle mass prolapsed to the anus. The mass was removed under general anesthesia. Postoperative management was straightforward. Conclusion: Juvenile polyps are the most common proctological condition in this age group. Clinical examination must be meticulous, as certain signs may point to a particular pathology. Colonoscopy is the diagnostic test of choice, and can also be used as a therapeutic tool.展开更多

However, cervical cancer is highly preventable and treatable due to its well-known disease history which goes through several detectable pre-cancerous phases with available treatments. There are very few data on the prevalence of dysplastic lesions of the cervix in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Panzi General Referral Hospital is a care center for women with genital prolapse, and our study aimed to determine the prevalence of dysplastic lesions of the cervix in this particular population. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study of all women aged ≥ 18 years who consulted at the HGR Panzi from September 01 to December 31, 2022, diagnosed with uterine prolapse and who consented to the study. Results: The mean (±SD) age of the patients was 47.44 (±14.42) years and the majority (67.7%) of them were aged 40 and over. For all of the respondents, the Pap smear was normal in 62.6% and inflammatory in 2% of cases, while cytological abnormalities, which were found in 35.4% of cases, including 12.1% of lesions high-grade dysplastic (HSIL), i.e. 12 out of a total of 99 women examined. Conclusion: Women with uterine prolapse are twice as likely to develop dysplastic lesions as the general female population. A screening and management program for these lesions is essential in our preoperative protocol at the HGR Panzi and at the national level in general.展开更多

The results show the pain was relieved afterfinger pressing manipulation. cGMP of the cerebrospinal fluid increased from 0. 51±0. 19 to 0. 63±0. 13pm/ml, in average 32% higher than before the treatment (P<0. 05) . Since cAMP/cGMP decreased from30.52±26. 42 to 23.20 ± 16.91, this shows the analgesic mechanism of finger pressing manipulation mightbe due to the fact that the therapy excited the selectively endogenous analgesic system, caused the in-creased release of endorphin, and was accompanied by regulation ot cAMP and cGMP.展开更多

African origin. The diagnosis is clinical but can be overlooked or confused with other pathologies. Treatment remains controversial. The aim of this work is to study the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic data of urethral mucosal prolapse in young girls in our department. Materials and methods: Retrospective and descriptive study on urethral mucosal prolapse in little girls identified from the hospitalization records of the Sino-Guinean Friendship Hospital in Conakry. The study period was 5 years. Patients were selected randomly. Outcome assessment focused on the occurrence of recurrences and urinary incontinence. The mean follow-up duration was 24 months. The parameters studied were: Age, clinical and histological findings, therapeutic data and patient outcomes. Results: The incidence of urethral mucosal prolapse in girls in the urology department was 2.2 cases/year. The mean age of the patients was 6.7 years (with extremes of 5 months and 10 years). The age group of 7 to 10 years was the most represented, observed in 63.63% of patients. The most frequent reason for consultation was vulvar bleeding in 7 patients, or 63.63%. Malpighian hyperplasia with a congested chorion was the most observed histological type, in 4 patients. Surgical treatment consisting of complete excision of the prolapsed part had given excellent results. Conclusion: Urethral prolapse is a rare pathology, observed mainly in young black girls. Its diagnosis is based mainly on clinical examination. Surgical treatment gives satisfactory results, both clinically and aesthetically.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Circumferential prolapsed hemorrhoids(CPHs)necessitate surgical intervention.While Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy(MMH)remains widely used,it compromises functional preservation and associates with significant post-operative pain,edema,and delayed healing in severe CPH cases.To address these limitations,our research team innovatively proposed the transverse incision with longitudinal ligation procedure(TILL).This novel technique utilizes targeted transverse incisions and longitudinal pedicle ligation to optimize complete resection while preserving anal anatomy and function.METHODS A total of 180 patients were retrospectively reviewed in China.The patients were divided into two groups of 90 based on the surgical methods.The treatment group underwent the TILL procedure,while the control group underwent MMH.The main observation index was the evaluation of clinical efficacy after wound healing.Secondary outcomes included the recurrence rate and wound healing time.Safety measurements were also evaluated.RESULTS The TILL group showed a significant difference compared to the MMH group(P=0.022),indicating better overall treatment effects.The time for wound healing in the TILL group was shorter than that in the MMH group(P=0.001).Compared to those who underwent MMH,those who underwent TILL experienced significantly reduced postoperative pain,with lower average scores for anal edema and anal stenosis(both P<0.05).CONCLUSION TILL demonstrates superior efficacy to MMH for advanced CPH,reducing recovery times and postoperative pain,edema,and stenosis while preserving anal function.

文摘BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of hemorrhoids is mainly anal cushion prolapse.Although the traditional treatment has a certain curative effect,it is not ideal.The remission rate of postoperative symptoms is low.Even if temporary remission is achieved,patients with hemorrhoids easily relapse after 1-2 years.The new technique of using staplers to treat prolapsed hemorrhoids has good therapeutic effects in clinical practice.AIM To explore the effect of TST33 mega stapler prolapse and hemorrhoid mucosal resection in the treatment of patients with severe prolapsed hemorrhoids.METHODS A total of 204 patients with severe prolapse hemorrhoids who were admitted to the department of anorectal in our hospital from April 2018 to June 2020 were selected,and the patients were randomly divided into group A and group B with 102 cases in each group using a randomized controlled clinical research program.Patients in Group A were treated with a TST33 mega stapler and hemorrhoid mucosal resection to treat prolapse,and patients in Group B were treated according to the Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids;the operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,the difference in operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospitalization time,pain degree before and after operation,degree of anal edema,anal Wexner score,and surgical complications were compared between the two groups of patients.RESULTS The operation time,intraoperative blood loss and hospitalization time in Group A were significantly lower than those in Group B(P<0.05).The cure rate of Group A was 98.04%,compared with 95.10%cure rate of Group B,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The visual analogue scale(VAS)at 12 h and 24 h postoperatively in Group A were significantly lower than those in Group B(P<0.05).The comparison of the VAS scores between Group A and Group B at 48 h,72 h and 96 h postoperatively revealed that the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).One day postoperatively,the degree of perianal edema in Group A was compared with that in Group B,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Seven days postoperatively,the degree of perianal edema in Group A was significantly lower than that in Group B(P<0.05).The comparison of anal Wexner scores between the two groups preoperatively and at 1 mo,3 mo and 6 mo postoperatively showed that the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The Wexner scores of the two groups at 1 mo,3 mo and 6 mo postoperatively were significantly lower than the scores preoperatively(P<0.05).The postoperative complication rate of Group A was 2.94%lower than that of Group B(11.76%),which was statistically significant(P<0.05).CONCLUSION TST33 mega anastomotic hemorrhoidectomy treatment for patients with severe prolapse hemorrhoids,leads to less postoperative pain,the rapid recovery of perianal edema and has fewer complications.
文摘The commonest pathologic diagnosis of large prolapsed polyps is leiomyoma. Benign or malignant adenomyomatous polyps follow. Adenomyotic cyst is a rare form of adenomyosis. To our knowledge, a recurrent prolapsed giant uterine polyp comprised of adenomyotic cysts and with different pathogenesis from the original polyp has not been reported in the literature. This case report describes a 29 year old woman with meno/metrrorrhagia, who was found to have a large recurrent uterine polyp prolapsed into the vagina at two and a half years after removal of an initial large uterine polyp. The initial polyp was a large uterine leiomyoma protruding through cervix. The recurrent giant polyp was comprised of adenomyotic cysts. Thus, this case report demonstrates that a prolapsed giant polyp of the uterine corpus can be caused by enlarged adenomyotic cysts inside the polyp. The pathogenesis of a recurrent uterine polyp may be different from that of the initial polyp.

文摘The whole lacrimal passage intubation is widely used in lacrimal surgery.However,one of the most typical complications is the prolapse of the silicone tube from the medial canthus.In case,the bicanalicular silicone tube after whole lacrimal duct intubation has completely prolapsed from the medial canthus before extubation,then cannot be found in the opening of the nasolacrimal duct,and it would be a challenge to reposition or removal.A novel approach to employ a modified suture-probe and silk thread traction technique has been developed,and it is not only safe and effective,but also cost-effective.
文摘Introduction :Rectal polyps are well-circumscribed, sessile or pedunculated formations that develop on the digestive mucosa. Juvenile polyps are seen in 4% - 12% of cases during pediatric colonoscopies. In children, rectal bleeding is a frequent warning sign, often a recurrent bleed with no impact on general condition. Diagnosis is based on clinical, imaging and digestive investigations, but anatomopathological examination remains the only means of confirmation. There are a number of treatment options, ranging from abstention to surgical excision. We report two (2) cases of isolated hemorrhagic juvenile polyp prolapsed to the anus in order to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic features of this pathology. Patients and observations: A 7-year-old female patient presented to the pediatric emergency department of the Donka National Hospital with a hemorrhagic anal mass. On clinical examination, the patient was found to be in satisfactory general condition, with a hemorrhagic pedicle mass prolapsed to the anus. The mass was removed under general anesthesia. Postoperative management was straightforward. Conclusion: Juvenile polyps are the most common proctological condition in this age group. Clinical examination must be meticulous, as certain signs may point to a particular pathology. Colonoscopy is the diagnostic test of choice, and can also be used as a therapeutic tool.
文摘Introduction: According to the WHO (January 7, 2022), cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide among women of childbearing age. However, cervical cancer is highly preventable and treatable due to its well-known disease history which goes through several detectable pre-cancerous phases with available treatments. There are very few data on the prevalence of dysplastic lesions of the cervix in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Panzi General Referral Hospital is a care center for women with genital prolapse, and our study aimed to determine the prevalence of dysplastic lesions of the cervix in this particular population. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study of all women aged ≥ 18 years who consulted at the HGR Panzi from September 01 to December 31, 2022, diagnosed with uterine prolapse and who consented to the study. Results: The mean (±SD) age of the patients was 47.44 (±14.42) years and the majority (67.7%) of them were aged 40 and over. For all of the respondents, the Pap smear was normal in 62.6% and inflammatory in 2% of cases, while cytological abnormalities, which were found in 35.4% of cases, including 12.1% of lesions high-grade dysplastic (HSIL), i.e. 12 out of a total of 99 women examined. Conclusion: Women with uterine prolapse are twice as likely to develop dysplastic lesions as the general female population. A screening and management program for these lesions is essential in our preoperative protocol at the HGR Panzi and at the national level in general.
文摘This study used the radioimmunoassay method to observe 11 cases of prolapsed interver-tebral disc and to detect the change of cAMP and cGMP in the cerebrospinal fluid before and after fingerpressing manipulation in acupuncture point Weizhong (UB 40) and Chengshan (UB 57) in order to discussthe mechanism of analgesia of finger pressing manipulation. The results show the pain was relieved afterfinger pressing manipulation. cGMP of the cerebrospinal fluid increased from 0. 51±0. 19 to 0. 63±0. 13pm/ml, in average 32% higher than before the treatment (P<0. 05) . Since cAMP/cGMP decreased from30.52±26. 42 to 23.20 ± 16.91, this shows the analgesic mechanism of finger pressing manipulation mightbe due to the fact that the therapy excited the selectively endogenous analgesic system, caused the in-creased release of endorphin, and was accompanied by regulation ot cAMP and cGMP.
文摘Background：Pelvic organ prolapse （POP） is a major health concern that affects women.Surgeons have increasingly used prosthetic meshes to correct POP.However,the most common used is synthetic mesh,and absorbable mesh is less reported.This research aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of porcine small intestinal submucosa （SIS）.Methods：Consecutive forty POP patients who met the inclusion criteria underwent pelvic reconstruction surgery with SIS between March 2012 and December 2013.The patients＆#39; clinical characteristics were recorded preoperatively.Surgical outcomes,measured by objective and subjective success rates,were investigated.We evaluated the quality of life （QOL） using the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 （PFDI-20） and the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 （PFIQ-7）.Sexual QOL was assessed by the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire-12 （P1SQ-12）.Results：At postoperative 12 months,the subjective recurrence rate （7.5%） was much lower than the objective recurrence rate （40.0%）.Postoperatively,no erosion was identified.One underwent a graft release procedure because of urinary retention,and one had anus sphincter reconstruction surgery due to defecation urgency.Another experienced posterior vaginal wall infection where the mesh was implanted,accompanied by severe vaginal pain.Estrogen cream relieved the pain.One patient with recurrence underwent a secondary surgery with Bard Mesh because of stage 3 anterior vaginal wall prolapse.Scoring system of PFDI-20 was from 59.150 ± 13.143 preoperatively to 8.400 ± 4.749 postoperatively and PFIQ-7 was from 73.350 ± 32.281 to 7.150 ± 3.110,while PISQ-12 was from 15.825 ± 4.050 to 12.725 ± 3.471.Conclusions：QOL and the degree of subjective satisfaction were significantly improved postoperatively.Anterior repair deserves more attention because of the higher recurrence rate.The long-term follow-up of the patient is warranted to draw firm conclusion.
文摘BACKGROUND Stapled hemorrhoidopexy(SH)is one of the most commonly used surgical techniques for hemorrhoidal disease,being particularly effective for grade III and IV hemorrhoids.The procedure is associated with better short-term outcomes,including less postoperative pain,shorter operative time,faster return to work,and higher patient satisfaction.However,there is a risk-benefit debate surrounding SH due to significant complications from the procedure,such as anal stenosis,rectovaginal fistula,fecal incontinence,and recurrence.AIM To evaluate recurrence rates and factors influencing surgical outcomes following SH in patients with grade III and IV hemorrhoids.METHODS This retrospective,single-center study enrolled a total of 77 patients with grade III/IV hemorrhoids for analysis.Early(less than 7 days after SH)and late(7 or more days after SH)complications were analyzed.Recurrence rates were calculated as well.RESULTS Patients were categorized by hemorrhoid grade and showed no differences in demographic data between the two groups.Recurrence was observed in 4 patients(23.6%)with grade IV hemorrhoids,and no recurrence was noted in patients with grade III hemorrhoids.Postoperative bleeding,incomplete defecation,urgent defecation,incontinence,skin tags,and anal fissure were complications reported by both groups.CONCLUSION Due to the high recurrence rate,SH is not an appropriate treatment option for patients with grade IV hemorrhoids.Open surgery may be a more suitable option for these patients.
文摘The transverse incision with longitudinal ligation(TILL)procedure is a new method for treating circumferential prolapsed hemorrhoids.A study by Song et al found TILL to be better than the traditional Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy for short-term results,showing less pain,quicker healing,and lower risk of anal stenosis.TILL reduces tissue tension and controls blood supply,allowing effective removal of diseased tissue while maintaining anal function and structure.However,the study's limitations,including its retrospective,single-center design,small sample size,and short follow-up,restrict the findings'generalizability and ability to assess long-term outcomes like recurrence.Larger,multicenter trials are needed for a thorough evaluation and wider clinical adoption of TILL.
文摘In this editorial,we comment on an article by Wang et al.Recent literature shows an increase in research on pelvic organ prolapse(POP).Although the true incidence of POP remains uncertain,its impact on quality of life is substantial.Anatomical studies report high incidence rates,surpassing those observed in symptom-based surveys.Weakness of the endopelvic fascia is a primary anatomical risk factor for POP.Additionally,gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)has emerged as a growing concern,as poor glycemic control increases complications for both mother and fetus.GDM and POP are interconnected,with factors like maternal obesity,macrosomia,and hormonal changes exacerbating pelvic floor dysfunction.Modifiable risk factors,such as obesity and chronic hyperglycemia,along with multiparity,instrumental deliveries,and obstetric trauma,further increase susceptibility.For patients with GDM,gynecological exams,Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification staging,and pelvic floor ultrasonography are valuable diagnostics,with proctological exams and magnetic resonance defecography aiding in multi-compartment prolapse diagnoses.Imaging,though uncomfortable during pregnancy,is safe in the early postpartum period.This editorial emphasizes the need for further research on the pathophysiology of GDM-related POP and offers recommendations for improving diagnosis and clinical management of patients with GDM.
文摘BACKGROUND Among patients referred for colonoscopy to evaluate bowel bleeding,many present with hemorrhoidal disease-associated bleeding and prolapse.AIM To compare endoscopic band ligation(EBL)with rigid proctoscope band ligation(RPBL)in patients referred for colonoscopy due to internal hemorrhoids.METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 171 patients with previous anal bleeding and hemorrhoidal prolapse complaints who underwent routine colonoscopy who were referred for band ligation treatment.Seventy-five patients underwent EBL,and 96 underwent RPBL.Control of bleeding,prolapse recurrence,pain,tenesmus,overall satisfaction,and cost were analyzed.A log-binomial regression model was used to analyze and compare binary outcomes between the ligation types,which allowed for the direct estimation of relative risks.RESULTS EBL achieved hemorrhoid symptom control in 92%of patients after a single session,compared with 63.5%for RPBL,which typically required three to four sessions(P<0.01).Short-term prolapse was significantly lower with EBL(13.3%)than with RPBL(55.2%,P<0.01),and long-term prolapse recurrence remained lower(8% vs 36.5%,P<0.01).Short-term bleeding was also reduced with EBL(4% vs 19%,P<0.01),while long-term bleeding control was comparable between groups(97.3% vs 92.7%).RPBL patients were more likely to report pain(relative risk=1.29;95%confidence interval:1.08-1.54;P<0.01).Overall satisfaction was markedly higher in the EBL group(86.7%“very satisfied”)than in the RPBL group(24%,P<0.01).CONCLUSION EBL demonstrated superior control of hemorrhoidal symptoms,lower prolapse recurrence,and better short-term bleeding outcomes compared with RPBL.Long-term bleeding control and tenesmus rates were comparable;however,numerical trends favored EBL.Despite a higher per-session cost,the reduced number of sessions made overall expenses similar.EBL appears to be a more effective,efficient,and well-tolerated minimally invasive option for treating symptomatic internal hemorrhoids.

文摘Objectives:Recently,pre-/post-operative Local Estrogen Therapy(LET)has shown effectiveness in alleviating Pelvic Organ Prolapse(POP)symptoms in clinical therapy.However,there is a lack of scientific evidence to support these claims.Therefore,we aimed to explore the anti-senescence effects and mechanisms of 17β-estradiol(E2)on POP-derived fibroblasts.Methods:The primary fibroblast cells were isolated and cultured fromthe surgical samples of postmenopausal women clinically diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse(POP)at stages III-IV(quantified using the POP-Q system)and without any other treatment within 6 months.(n=12,age 50–75).Colorimetric Cell Counting Kit(CCK-8)assay and Senescence-Associated-β-Galactosidase(SA-β-Gal)staining were used to test the cell proliferative capacity and the senescence rate.Western blotting(WB)was used to detect the expression of Collagen Type I(COL-I),Collagen Type III(COL-III),Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 inhibitor A(p16INK4a),Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A(p21),Tumor Protein 53(p53),Sirtuin 1(SIRT-1)and Microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3-I/II(LC3-I/II)protein.A transmission ElectronMicroscope(TEM)was used to observe the ultrastructure of fibroblasts.Results:The results showed that E2 significantly promoted the proliferation of fibroblasts derived from POP and reduced the staining rate of SA-β-Gal.It markedly enhanced the extracellular matrix proteins COL-I and COL-III,accompanied by inhibition of the senescent maker p16INK4a.Additionally,our results improved the cells’autophagy and metabolic activity.Additionally,our results indicate the anti-senescence mechanism of E2 through the mediated SIRT-1/p53/p21 axis pathway.Conclusion:We provide preliminary evidence for the anti-aging effects and mechanisms of E2 on POP,hoping to provide a theoretical basis for estrogen against POP senescence and guide the clinical application and local administration of estrogen in POP treatment.

文摘Complete rectal prolapse,characterized by the protrusion of the rectal wall layers through the anal canal,poses significant treatment challenges,particularly due to controversies surrounding surgical approaches and the absence of a standardized assessment system.This study comprehensively reviews the main surgical tech-niques for complete rectal prolapse,categorized as transabdominal and transpe-rineal/transanal procedures.Despite various techniques,challenges persist,inclu-ding high recurrence rates and potential complications.Factors influencing the choice of the surgical approach include patient characteristics,symptomatology,and surgical expertise.With advances in medical technology,laparoscopic and robotic surgeries offer promising avenues,albeit with considerations of cost and accessibility.Ultimately,treatment plans tailored to the individual needs of the patient and surgical expertise are essential.Although controversies remain,the continued refinement of surgical techniques holds promise for improving out-comes in complete rectal prolapse surgery.
文摘Introduction: Urethral prolapse, a rare benign lesion of the female urethra, is considered unusual in children, but it is far from exceptional in girls aged 18 to 24. African origin. The diagnosis is clinical but can be overlooked or confused with other pathologies. Treatment remains controversial. The aim of this work is to study the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic data of urethral mucosal prolapse in young girls in our department. Materials and methods: Retrospective and descriptive study on urethral mucosal prolapse in little girls identified from the hospitalization records of the Sino-Guinean Friendship Hospital in Conakry. The study period was 5 years. Patients were selected randomly. Outcome assessment focused on the occurrence of recurrences and urinary incontinence. The mean follow-up duration was 24 months. The parameters studied were: Age, clinical and histological findings, therapeutic data and patient outcomes. Results: The incidence of urethral mucosal prolapse in girls in the urology department was 2.2 cases/year. The mean age of the patients was 6.7 years (with extremes of 5 months and 10 years). The age group of 7 to 10 years was the most represented, observed in 63.63% of patients. The most frequent reason for consultation was vulvar bleeding in 7 patients, or 63.63%. Malpighian hyperplasia with a congested chorion was the most observed histological type, in 4 patients. Surgical treatment consisting of complete excision of the prolapsed part had given excellent results. Conclusion: Urethral prolapse is a rare pathology, observed mainly in young black girls. Its diagnosis is based mainly on clinical examination. Surgical treatment gives satisfactory results, both clinically and aesthetically.
文摘We present a case report of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy in an infant with ovarian prolapse. Using this case study, we demonstrate the role of the ovarian ligamentous apparatus. A structure appearing like the male gubernaculum was identified. The anatomical and functional role of this “gubernaculum” will be the subject of discussion. Further detailed laparoscopic examinations are indicated to better understand the ligamentous anatomy of ovarian prolapse.
文摘Introduction: Genital prolapse is a health problem that gynaecologists are increasingly facing due to patients’ legitimate demands for care and the improvement in life expectancy without associated disabilities. The objective of this work was to evaluate the clinical aspects and functional disorders of patients with genital prolapse in Butembo in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Material and Methods: A descriptive study with analytical aims was conducted from January 1 to September 30, 2024 in Butembo/DRC. It involved 112 patients with symptomatic genital prolapse in whom an interview on functional disorders as well as clinical assessment according to the Baden and Walker classification were carried out.

文摘Objective This is a self-controlled multicenter retrospective study based on the clinical efficacy and complications of physiological reconstruction in the treatment of moderate and severe pelvic organ prolapse.Methods From December 2014 to August 2021,517 women were included and registered for physiological reconstruction at four Chinese urogynecology institutions.We enrolled 364 women with POP-Q stage≥3.The degree of POP was quantified via a POP-Q system.The surgical purpose of physiological reconstruction is to repair the vagina,levator ani muscle,perineum,and urogenital hiatus and adopt a repair method in accordance with the axial direction of physiology.All 330 evaluable participants were followed for 2 years.The evaluation indices included the PFDI-20,PGI-I,PFIQ-7,PISQ-12,PGI-I,and PGI-S.All complications were coded according to the category-time-site system proposed by the International Urogynecological Association(IUGA)and International Continence Society(ICS).Results Compared with the preoperative POP-Q scores,statistically significant improvements were observed at the 6-month,1-year and 2-year time points(P<0.001).Statistically significant improvements in quality of life were observed across all time points.Conclusions Physiologic reconstructive surgical techniques combined with modified anterior pelvic floor mesh implantation could help restore the physiologic axis and vaginal shape,which may be the most important factors in maintaining the functional position of pelvic floor organs and is the most effective method for repairing the pelvic fascia tendon arch.This surgical method is safe,feasible,and effective in patients with severe prolapse.

文摘BACKGROUND In the field of anesthesia for procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH)surgery,combined spinal-epidural(CSE)anesthesia has been a common approach.However,exploring new combinations to optimize patient outcomes remains crucial.Remimazolam,a short-acting benzodiazepine,shows potential for improving sedation and reducing patient anxiety.The effects of combining remimazolam with CSE anesthesia,compared to traditional CSE anesthesia alone,on patient anxiety,sedation depth,and hemodynamics during PPH surgery have not been fully elucidated.AIM To compare remimazolam-CSE vs CSE alone on State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State scale(STAI-S)scores,sedation,and hemodynamics in PPH surgery.METHODS This study is a single-center,prospective,randomized controlled trial.Between November 23,2022,and August 6,2024,60 eligible patients were randomly assigned to the CSE anesthesia group or the remimazolam-combined CSE anesthesia group(30 patients each).STAI-S scores,Ramsay sedation scores,and hemodynamic parameters(systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,heart rate)were measured at multiple time points.Two-way mixed-effects ANOVA and posthoc analyses were performed.RESULTS The Combined group demonstrated significantly lower STAI-S scores before leaving the operating room[mean:28.80 vs 54.03,mean difference(95%CI):25.23(21.24-29.23),P<0.001]and 24 hours post-operation[mean:45.07 vs 54.53,mean difference(95%CI):9.47(6.29-12.64),P<0.001]than the CSE group.Moreover,the Combined group achieved a deeper sedation level during intraoperative maintenance[median:5.00(IQR:5.00-5.00)vs 2.00(IQR:2.00-2.00);median difference(95%CI):3.00(3.00-3.00),P<0.001].Regarding hemodynamics,a significant intergroup difference in systolic blood pressure was observed at the start of the surgery[mean:128.8 vs 114.7 for the Combined and CSE groups,mean difference(95%CI):14.17(0.77-27.57),adjusted P=0.033].CONCLUSION Remimazolam-combined anesthesia outperformed CSE anesthesia in reducing STAI-S scores,enhancing intraoperative sedation,and stabilizing systolic blood pressure at a critical stage,indicating its superiority in perioperative management.
