SUI after sacrocolpopexyFrom: Elrod, Darryl G Maj 48 MDOS/SGOBO (Darryl.elrod@LAKENHEATH.AF.MIL)Mon Nov 6 08:36:49 2006
I did my first abdominal sacrocolpopexy post residency now 5 weeks ago for symptomatic vaginal prolapse after a hysterectomy. The pt also had symptoms of stress incontinence and what I felt to be a paravaginal defect cystocele. I did an abdominal sacrocolpopexy, abdominal paravaginal repair, Burch and a posterior repair. I did cystoscopy after completing the Burch. Her postop course was uneventful. She had the catheter out the next morning and was discharged later that afternoon after she spontaneously voided and her pain was controlled by Percocet. The only complication she has noticed since surgery is a much more pronounced symptoms of stress incontinence than prior to surgery. Now she has to do very little to cause leakage. Although the vagina looks very nicely supported, I have obviously changed the vaginal angle enough to promote incontinence rather than prevent it. At this point how would you guys (and gals) manage her? I think she is likely too close to her original surgery to consider a midurethral sling (TVT, TOT) but as I've not been in this position before I wouldn't know. Thanks in advance, Glen //SIGNED// D.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
