Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

The aim of this review was to investigate the impact of native tissue repair for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) on overall sexual function and dyspareunia.

Methods

Cochrane Incontinence Group Specialized Register of Controlled Trials, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and Embase were searched for trials of prolapse surgery assessing sexual function and dyspareunia before and after surgery. We assessed observational studies and randomized controlled trials investigating the impact of surgical correction of POP on sexual function. Surgical interventions assessed were anterior and/or posterior repair with or without a vaginal hysterectomy. Studies including patients undergoing concurrent incontinence surgery or vaginal mesh insertion were excluded from the analysis. Dyspareunia was analyzed separately.

Results

We identified 674 potential citations, of which 14 articles assessed sexual function and/or dyspareunia before and after traditional prolapse surgery. The results suggest evidence for significant improvement in sexual function postsurgery, with a standardized mean difference of −0.55, 95 % confidence interval (CI) −0.68 to −0.43 in favor of surgical correction. Dyspareunia rates were also significantly improved postoperatively, with overall odds ratio of at least 2.5 times as likely as the chances of deterioration.

Discussion

Sexual function is significantly improved and dyspareunia significantly reduced following native tissue prolapse surgery. There were several methodological problems with the quality of the primary research, particularly related to study heterogeneity, use of different outcome measures, and absence of well-designed randomized controlled trials.

Ambulantisierung: Erste Erfahrungen mit dem Hybrid-DRG

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Hybrid-DRG-Verordnung soll dazu führen, dass mehr chirurgische Eingriffe ambulant durchgeführt werden, wie es in anderen Ländern schon länger üblich ist. Die gleiche Vergütung im ambulanten und stationären Sektor hatten Niedergelassene schon lange gefordert. Aber die Umsetzung bereitet ihnen doch Kopfzerbrechen.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Harninkontinenz: Netz-Op. erfordert über lange Zeit intensive Nachsorge

30.04.2024 Harninkontinenz Nachrichten

Frauen mit Belastungsinkontinenz oder Organprolaps sind nach einer Netz-Operation keineswegs beschwerdefrei. Vielmehr scheint die Krankheitslast weiterhin hoch zu sein, sogar höher als von harninkontinenten Frauen, die sich nicht haben operieren lassen.

Welche Übungen helfen gegen Diastase recti abdominis?

30.04.2024 Schwangerenvorsorge Nachrichten

Die Autorinnen und Autoren einer aktuellen Studie aus Griechenland sind sich einig, dass Bewegungstherapie, einschließlich Übungen zur Stärkung der Bauchmuskulatur und zur Stabilisierung des Rumpfes, eine Diastase recti abdominis postpartum wirksam reduzieren kann. Doch vieles ist noch nicht eindeutig belegt.
