2
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Lower Urinary Tract disorder Anorectal Disorder
3
Not life threatening But life quality worsening
4
Pelvic Floor
5
Pelvic Floor Pelvic diaphragm Funnel-shaped fibromuscular partition
Forms the primary supporting structure for the pelvic contents Composition Levator ani Coccygeus muscles their superior and inferior fasciae Forms the ceiling of the ischiorectal fossa
7
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
8
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)
bulge or protrusion of pelvic organs and their associated vaginal segments into or through the vagina Incidence increases with aging anterior pelvic organ prolapse 34.3% posterior wall prolapse 18.6% uterine prolapse in 14.3% Vaginal delivery as a significant risk factor history of hysterectomy; obesity ; history of previous prolapse operations; race Optical surgical treatment remains elusive
9
Pathophysiology attenuation of the supportive structures
endopelvic connective tissue levator ani muscular support by actual tears or “breaks” by neuromuscular dysfunction
10
Definitions Rectocele Enterocele Cystocele Uterine prolapse
Procidentia
11
Definitions
12
Symptoms Pelvic organ prolapse Symptoms of voiding dysfunction
Urinary incontinence Obstructive voiding symptoms Urinary urgency and frequency Urinary retention and upper renal compromise Defecatory problems (e.g., constipation, diarrhea, tenesmus, fecal incontinence) Pelvic pain Back and flank pain Overall pelvic discomfort Dyspareunia
13
Symptoms
14
Physical examination Divide the pelvis into compartments
Apical compartment ---- Graves speculum or Baden retractor The anterior and posterior compartments ---- univalve or Sims' speculum Rectovaginal examination ---- distinguish a posterior vaginal wall defect from a dissecting apical enterocele Anterior lateral detachment defect----Baden retractor Valsalva is encouraged standing straining examination

Pelvic Muscle Function Assessment
Bladder Evaluation
19
Treatment Nonsurgical Therapy Mild to moderate prolapse
Desire future childbearing Not suitable or desire surgery
20
Conservative Management pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT)
Lifestyle intervention weight loss reduction of activities that increase intra–abdominal pressure Mechanical Devices
21
Surgical Management OPTIONAL!!! relieve symptoms
restore vaginal anatomy vaginal, abdominal, and laparoscopic routes involve a combination of repairs directed to the anterior vagina, vaginal apex, posterior vagina, and perineum None is perfect
22
Surgical Management Procedures
Restorative: use the patient's endogenous support structures Compensatory: replace deficient support with permanent graft material Obliterative: close or partially close the vagina.
24
Lower Urinary Tract Disorders
25
Normal Urethral Closure
26
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Most common type of urinary continence in women Leaking when sneezing, coughing, or exercise Urethral sphincter defect and/or urethral hypermobility Urge Urinary Incontinence and Overactive Bladder most common form of incontinence in older women involuntary leakage of urine accompanied by or immediately preceded by urgency may or may not be caused by detrusor overactivity
27
Mixed Incontinence have symptoms of both stress and urge urinary incontinence in older women mixed and urge incontinence is predominate
28
Evaluation Q–tip test Voiding Diary Urinalysis
Postvoid Residual Volume Cough Stress Test Pad Tests Urodynamics
29
Nonsurgical treatment
Lifestyle Changes Weight loss Postural change Decrease caffeine intake Physical Therapy pelvic floor muscle training Behavioral Therapy and Bladder Training
30
Vaginal and Urethral Devices

Medications Stress incontinence α– adrenergic activity Urge Incontinence and Overactive Bladder anticholinergic agents
