Need detailed information please on the followingFrom: Elizabeth (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 25 Jun 1999 06:12:17 -0500 (CDT)
1) What is the success rate for repairing uterine prolapse (retaining the uterus) when accompanied by repairs on cystoceles and rectoceles? 2) What is considered a ‘success’ in terms of holding and in years. If a prolapse reoccurs, is it usually to a lesser degree? 3) What makes a good candidate in terms of a successful repair in terms of a patient and her existing prolapse condition? 4) Does being incontinent make a difference in the success rate for bladder repair? In relation to Burch? To the Sling? 5) How often do complications occur after a repair has been done and if so, what does this include? 6) How is the kinking of the urethra corrected? Success rate? 7) Does the weight of the uterus pull down any anterior or posterior repairs? If so, why, and if not, why the common idea held that is does? What if the prolene mesh is used? 8) If the repairs are successful - and last for 15 years, and then a woman becomes menopausal, what are the chances that the repairs will begin to fail? 9) If a repair is done, and is successful for approximately a year,does that mean that the repair is more likely to stay? What is the time frame that most “failures” reoccur? 10) If a women has young children (2 and under) what would you suggest about when to have surgery? And, after a surgery, will a woman be able to pick up her children w/out the fear of renewing the prolapse? 11) At what time can a woman resume normal activities? How much weight? Thank you. (Barbara - couldn't locate the other area to post at. thanks)
