1. 21. Towards prevention of pelvic radiation disease in gynecological cancer survivors

   Författare :Helena Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: To improve the therapeutic ratio of radiation therapy, an increased knowledge of how dose distributions affect normal tissue outcomes is critically needed; however normal tissue outcomes in terms of self-reported atomized symptoms among gynecological cancer survivors are rare in the literature. Aims: To investigate the prevalence of self-reported symptoms and their impact on daily life among long-term gynecological cancer survivors previously treated with pelvic radiation therapy. LÄS MER

3. 22. Studies of prognostic and functional outcomes in surgery for rectal cancer

   Sammanfattning : The order of priorities in surgery for rectal cancer are firstly to achieve local control and cure from the disease, secondly to minimise perioperative discomfort and complications, and thirdly to obtain the best possible bowel function. Rectal tumours can be removed with local surgery but most common are abdominal procedures with or without a permanent or temporary stoma. LÄS MER

5. 24. Pelvic floor dysfunction depending on mode of delivery : clinical and epidemiological aspects

   Författare :Åsa Leijonhufvud; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :cesarean;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To study pelvic floor disorders in relation to mode of delivery using clinical and epidemiological methods; to compare the prevalence and risk of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in healthy primiparous women in relation to vaginal (VD) or elective cesarean (CD) delivery nine months after delivery; to estimate the effect of delivery on urinary and anal incontinence 10 years after first childbirth in relation to mode of delivery and to assess the influence of parity and obstetrical events; to estimate the risks of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery related to delivery mode at long-term follow-up; and to evaluate the influence of age at first childbirth on the risks of surgically managed SUI and POP. Methods: Paper I is a clinical study of 435 subjects, with prospectively collected data based on self-reported questionnaires and medical charts. LÄS MER

7. 25. Genital prolapse surgery : A study of methods, clinical outcome and impact of pelvic floor muscle function

   Författare :Kristina Crafoord; Preben Kjølhede; Jan Brynhildsen; Mats Hammar; Christian Falconer; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To evaluate whether a shift in the extent of genital prolapse surgery occurred between 1983 and 1993. If such a shift occurred, the need for subsequent prolapse surgery; the prevalence of symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in women six years after vaginal prolapse surgery. LÄS MER
