Results: The average age of the women studied was 49.4 +/- 5.18 years. The largest number of them were in perimenopause (60.1%), while the percentage in postmenopausal women reached 39.9%. The mean age of onset of symptoms was 45.8 +/- 6.2 years, the highest frequency occurring between 45 and 49 years (61.5%). The average age of onset of menopause of 48.4+/- 3.7 years, which represents that more than two thirds (81.6%) of the women had their last menstruation over 45 years of age. Genitourinary alterations predominated in perimenopause and mild intensity Conclusions: The genitourinary syndrome of menopause constitutes a group of frequent clinical manifestations in women in the climacteric stage and affect more than two thirds of the women al the policlinic, appearing more frequently between the ages of 45 and 49, in perimenopause and with mild intensity.

RESUMO

Abstract Purpose Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a major health issue worldwide, affecting 6- 8% of women. The most affected site is the anterior vaginal wall. Multiple procedures and surgical techniques have been used,with or without the use of vaginalmeshes, due to common treatment failure, reoperations, and complication rates in some studies. Methods Systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis regarding the use of vaginal mesh in anterior vaginal wall prolapse was performed. A total of 115 papers were retrieved after using the medical subject headings (MESH) terms: 'anterior pelvic organ prolapse OR cystocele AND surgery AND (mesh or colporrhaphy)' in the PubMed database. Exclusion criteria were: follow-up shorter than 1 year, use of biological or absorbable meshes, and inclusion of other vaginal wall prolapses. Studies were put in a data chart by two independent editors; results found in at least two studies were grouped for analysis. Results After the review of the titles by two independent editors, 70 studies were discarded, and after abstract assessment, 18 trials were eligible for full text screening. For final screening and meta-analysis, after applying the Jadad score (> 2), 12 studies were included. Objective cure was greater in the mesh surgery group (odds ratio [OR] = 1,28 [1,07-1,53]), which also had greater blood loss (mean deviation [MD] = 45,98 [9,72-82,25]), longer surgery time (MD = 15,08 [0,48-29,67]), but less prolapse recurrence (OR = 0,22 [01,3-0,38]). Dyspareunia, symptom resolution and reoperation rates were not statistically different between groups. Quality of life (QOL) assessment through the pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire (PISQ-12), the pelvic floor distress inventory (PFDI-20), the pelvic floor impact questionnaire (PFIQ-7), and the perceived quality of life scale (PQOL) was not significantly different. Conclusions Anterior vaginal prolapse mesh surgery has greater anatomic cure rates and less recurrence, although there were no differences regarding subjective cure, reoperation rates and quality of life. Furthermore, mesh surgery was associated with longer surgical time and greater blood loss. Mesh use should be individualized, considering prior history and risk factors for recurrence.

Resumo Introdução Prolapso de órgãos pélvicos é problema de saúde públicas, sendo o mais comumo anterior. Para tratamento são utilizadas cirurgias, comou semtelas. O uso de telas é para diminuir recidivas, mas não h á consenso. Métodos Foi realizada revisão da literatura e metanálise, sobre uso de telas na correção do prolapso anterior. Base de dados foi PUBMED , com termos (MESH): "Anterior Pelvic Organ OR Cystocele AND Surgery AND (Mesh or Colporrhaphy)". Critérios de exclusão foram: seguimento menor que 1 ano, telas biológicas ou absorvíveis. Resultados: foram avaliados 115 artigos. Após revisão dos títulos, 70 estudos foram descartados e 18 após leitura de resumos. Após critérios de Jadad (>2), 12 estudos foram incluídos. Análise estatística foi razão de risco ou diferença entre médias dos grupos, e as análises com grande heterogeneidade foram avaliadas através de análise de efeito aleatório. Resultados Cura objetiva foi superior no grupo com tela - OR 1,28 (1,07-1,53, p 1 0,00001), maior perda sanguínea - diferença média (MD) 45,98 (9,72-82,25, p = 0,01), tempo cirúrgico mais longo - MD 15,08 (0,48-29,67, p = 0,04), porém menor recorrência - OR 0,22 (0,13-0,38, p = 0,00001), não apresentando maior resolução dos sintomas - OR 1,93 (0,83-4,51, p = 0,15). Dispareunia e taxa de reoperação também não foram diferentes entre grupos. Qualidade de vida não apresentou diferença. Conclusões Cirurgia com tela para prolapso vaginal anterior apresenta melhor taxa de cura anatômica e menor recorrência, sem diferenças cura subjetiva, reoperação e qualidade de vida. Há maior tempo cirúrgico e perda sanguínea. Uso de telas deve ser individualizado.

RESUMO

Introducción: la zona crítica de sostén apical de la fascia vesicovaginal es el anillo pericervical, el cual no existe en el caso de mujeres histerctomizadas. Por lo tanto, el análisis y el desarrollo de posibilidades terapéuticas para el cistocele con menores recidivas posteriores es un tema crítico en la cirugía uroginecológica. Objetivo: presentar una nueva técnica quirúrgica para el tratamiento del colpocele anterior. Material y método: se presentan los primeros diez casos de pacientes operadas con una nueva técnica quirúrgica en el tratamiento por vía vaginal del colpocele anterior. La técnica denominada CATO (C-colposuspensión, A-anterior, TO-transobturatriz) se basa en la reparación del defecto del colpocele anterior (sea este central, medial o pericervical) mediante tejido propio, el cual se fija a una neoestructura dada por el emplazamiento de una cinta de malla de prolene por vía obturatriz posterior. Resultados: no se registraron complicaciones intraoperatorias; hubo un hematoma vesicovaginal posoperatorio inmediato. En cuanto a los resultados funcionales, no se registraron disfunciones vesicales. En el seguimiento se destaca que todas las pacientes presentan puntos Aa y Ba normales. No se registran complicaciones de la malla utilizada. La técnica resulta segura, respeta la anatomía funcional y es reproducible para el ginecólogo vaginalista entrenado y con conocimiento del abordaje transobturatriz posterior. El seguimiento a largo plazo demostrará si esta nueva técnica desarrollada por nuestro equipo tiene un lugar que ocupar en el arsenal quirúrgico del tratamiento de la patología del piso pélvico.(AU)

Abstract Introduction: the critical area of apical support for the vesicovaginal fascia is the peri-cervical ring, which does not exist in women who have undergone hysterectomies. Thus, the analysis and development of new therapies for colpocele with smaller posterior relapse is critical for urogynecologic surgery. Objective: to present a new surgical technique for treatment of anterior colpocele Method: the study presents the first ten cases of women who were operated with a new surgical technique in treatment for anterior colpocele through the vagina. The technique under the name CATO (following the Spanish words: CATO (C-colposuspension, A-anterior, TO-transobturator) is based on repairing the anterior colpocele defect (central, medium or peri-cervical) using her own tissue, which is fixed to a new structure created by placing a mesh ribbon through a posterior transobturator. Results: no intraoperative complications were recorded; there was one case of immediate postoperative vesicovaginal hematoma. As to functional results, no vesical dysfunctions were recorded. Upon follow up, it is worth pointing out all patients show normal Aa and Bb stitches. Nos complications arose for the mesh used. The technique is safe, it respects functional anatomy and may be replicated by trained gynecologists who are familiar with the posterior transobturator approach. Long term follow up will reveal whether this new technique developed by our team may become part of the surgical toolkit for treating pelvic floor pathology.(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: describir la frecuencia de éxito, recidivas y complicaciones, en mujeres con prolapso genital del compartimiento anterior a quienes se les realizó intervención quirúrgica usando malla multianclaje macroporosa monofilamento. Metodología: estudio observacional de una cohorte de 71 mujeres con prolapso del compartimiento anterior e intervenidas en la Clínica Universitaria Bolivariana y a quienes se les realizó corrección quirúrgica con malla multianclaje durante el periodo de 2008-2011. Se realizaron dos evaluaciones postquirúrgicas cuantificando el prolapso por medio de la clasificación internacional POP-Q (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System) a los seis meses y al año de la cirugía. Resultados: se encontró mejoría del prolapso genital pasando del grado POP-Q III y IV prequirírgico al grado I postquirúrgico en 90,5 % de las pacientes; se encontró 2,9 % de recaída del prolapso grado IV. Nueve pacientes presentaron complicaciones tempranas. Se observó un porcentaje de recidiva de prolapso del compartimiento anterior a los seis meses del 4,2 % y de 9,9% al año de evaluación. Conclusión: encontramos disminución en el porcentaje de recidivas del prolapso de compartimento anterior en las pacientes a quienes se les corrigió con malla multianclaje. Se requieren estudios posteriores con diseños más exigentes. Por ahora podemos sugerir que hay una tendencia a un mejor resultado con el uso de la malla multianclaje para la corrección del prolapso del compartimiento anterior.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the success rate, complications and recurrences in women with genital prolapse of the anterior compartment who underwent surgery using macroporous monofilament mesh multianchorage. Methods: observational study of a cohort of 71 women with anterior compartment prolapse who were seized in the Clinica Universitaria Bolivariana and who underwent surgical repair with mesh multianchorage during the period 2008- 2011. Two postoperative assessments were performed by quantifying prolapse by the POP-Q International Classification (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System) at six months and one year after surgery. Results: an improvement was found genital prolapse POP-Q passing grade III and grade IV preoperative to grade I postoperative in 90.5% of patients; 2.9% of grade IV prolapse relapse was found. Nine patients had early complications. A recurrence rate of prolapse prior to six months of 4.2% and 9.9% to year evaluation was observed. Conclusions: We found decrease in the recurrence rate of anterior compartment prolapse in patients who were corrected mesh multianchorage. Subsequent studies are needed with better designs. Nowadays we can suggest that there is a trend to a better outcome with the use of mesh multianchorage correction of anterior compartment prolapse.

RESUMO

O prolapso genital constitui afecção de grande importância social e econômica dada sua prevalência estimada em até 40% das mulheres, cujo aumento gradual coincide com o envelhecimento populacional. Estima-se que 30% das pacientes submetidas ao tratamento cirúrgico já foram operadas previamente pelo mesmo motivo. Fatos como esses e outras situações conflitantes, como a escolha entre tratamento conservador ou cirúrgico, a melhor técnica operatória para tratar as alterações anatômicas e funcionais do assoalho pélvico e o uso ou não de uma grande complexidade de materiais sintéticos e biológicos, têm sido objeto de constante investigação. O presente estudo teve por objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura em relação ao manejo das pacientes portadoras de prolapso genital, considerando as evidências atuais referentes à utilização dos pessários vaginais, ao papel da fisioterapia, à melhor abordagem cirúrgica, às indicações do uso de telas e a concomitância, na vigência do prolapso, do tratamento cirúrgico da incontinência urinária

The pelvic organ prolapse is an important social and economic problem with the estimated prevalence at up to 40% of women, increasing with the aging population. It is estimated that 30% of patients undergoing surgical treatment, have been operated previously for the same reason. Facts such as these and other situations of conflict as the choice between conservative or surgical treatment, the best surgical technique to treat the anatomical and functional changes of the pelvic floor and use or not of a great complexity of biological and synthetic materials, have been under constant investigation. This study aims to realize a systematical review regarding the management of patients with genital prolapse, considering the current evidence regarding the use of vaginal pessaries, the role of physiotherapy, the best surgical approach, the indications for the meshes use and the concomitant surgical treatment of urinary incontinence, in the presence of prolapse

BACKGROUND: Repair of anterior vaginal prolapse present a high rate of recurrence. Anterior colporrhaphy plus prolene mesh is a surgical option with optimal long term results. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate anatomical results and evolution of anterior colporrhaphy with prolene mesh. METHOD: A prospective cohort study was made to evaluate the surgical outcomes. RESULTS: 35 patients were recruited with a median age of 61.4 years. 85.7% of them were in postmenopausal status and 3% were using hormone replacement therapy. Stress urinary incontinence was associated in 54.3% of the cases. The pelvic floor stage at entry was 31.4% cysthocele stage II, 48.6% stage III and 20% cysthocele stage IV. Uterine prolapse was present in 88.6% of cases and the posterior wall was compromised in 74.3%. There were no intraoperatory complications. Postoperatory complications occurred in 4 patients (11.4%). Only in one case the mesh eroded (2.9%). The follow up was from 1 to 11 months. Of the patients with cysthocele stage II at the moment of evaluation, 80% were at stage 0. For cysthocele stage III 72% turned to stage 0. 11% turned to stage I and 17% to stage II. The cases that presented cysthocele stage IV 71% were at stage 0 and 29% at stage II. CONCLUSION: This technique solved an important quality of life problem of the affected patients. A higher number of cases and time of follow up is needed to recommend this technique definitely.
