1. Genital prolapse surgery : A study of methods, clinical outcome and impact of pelvic floor muscle function
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
2. Urinary incontinence and genital prolapse : A prospective population-based study
Sammanfattning : The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence and possible determinants of urinary incontinence and genital prolapse and the natural course of urinary incontinence and its effect on well-being in a population-based sample of women aged 20 to 59 years. 491(77%) women participated in the baseline examination of a gynaecological health survey and 382 participated in a 5-year follow-up.

3. The pelvic floor and genital prolapse : a clinical, physiological and radiological study
Sammanfattning : Objective: To determine the frequency of concomitant colorectal disorders in patients with rectocele, and to assess any such association with rectocele; to investigate if paradoxical sphincter reaction (PSR) is influenced by the rectal filling volume; to investigate if surface electromyography (EMG) is a reliable method for diagnosing PSR; to evaluate the use of defeco-peritoneography (DP) in patients with an unexplained widening of the rectovaginal space at defecography; to study the long-term results after rectocele repair and to evaluate parameters that might influence the outcome; to evaluate pre- and postoperative findings at cysto-defeco-peritoneography (CDP) in patients with genital prolapse. Methods: EMG of the anal sphincter muscles was carried out and PSR was diagnosed using needle, wire and/or surface electrodes. LÄS MER
4. Evaluation and treatment of pelvic organ prolapse : clinical, radiological and histopathological aspects
Sammanfattning : Objective: To assess the use of cystodefecoperitoneography (CDP) in clinical and radiological diagnosis of cystocele; to study the correlation between clinical and radiological findings at CDP and to evaluate if anatomical topography and structural abnormality corresponds to symptomatic presentation when assessing posterior vaginal wall prolapse; to evaluate if xenograft used at rectocele repair was associated with adverse clinical and histological inflammatory reactions; to prospectively examine if rectocele repair using xenograft is a safe method providing satisfactory clinical and symptomatical outcome; and to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of genital prolapse and urinary incontinence in female patients operated for rectal prolapse. Methods: The following methods were used: The Pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POPQ), CDP, bowel function questionnaires, pelvic floor surveys, histological, histopathological and clinical inflammatory quantification.

5. Pelvic floor dysfunction in nulliparous women
Sammanfattning : Background: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a public health problem affecting millions of women worldwide. In addition to personal suffering, it also creates an economic burden for health care systems and society. Parity and mode of delivery are well known risk factors for PFDs. LÄS MER
