Abstract Introduction: With the aging population, more females will suffer from pelvic organ prolapse. Both urologists and gynecologists perform sacrocolpopexy, but there is no comparative study analyzing differences in provision of care, outcomes, or patient population. We aimed to elucidate potential differences in demographics, outcomes, and minimally invasive surgery utilization for SCP performed by urology and gynecology. Methods: In our retrospective analysis, sacrocolpopexies were identified using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project database from 2006–2020. Pearson’s chi-square test was performed to test trends in the utilization of MIS in five-year blocks. Frailty… More >

Abstract Although some types of gynecological cancer have a poor prognosis and high recurrence rate, less is known about the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in gynecological cancer patients than in other cancer populations. Psychosocial problems may be experienced more in gender-specific cancers. In order to prevent future health problems related to FCR, it is critical to identify the factors affecting FCR in different subgroups and to develop various interventions. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the factors affecting the FCR in women diagnosed with gynecological cancer and interventions to reduce… More >

Abstract Mechanical deformation of tissues in the female pelvic floor is believed to be central to understanding a number of important aspects of women’s health, particularly pelvic floor dysfunction. A 2008 study of US women reported the prevalence of pelvic floor disorders in the 20 and 39 years range as 9.7% with the prevalence increasing with age until it reaches roughly 50% in the 80 and older age group [Nygaard, Barber, Burgio, and et al (2008)]. Clinical observation indicates a strong correlation between problems such as pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence and vaginal childbirth. It is thought… More >
