post vag hystFrom: charlie chambers (cchamber@ic.owatonna.mn.us)Tue May 21 11:47:34 1996
Answer and opinions sought. Performed a TVH with anterior and posterior colporrhaphies on a postmenopausal woman approximately 6 months ago for symptomatic pelvic prolapse. Initial check at 6 weeks normal. Approximately 2 months later noted pelvic discomfort with coitus. Exam shows top 10-20% of the cuff to have significant scarring despite estrogen. Returns with significant post void residual with frequency which I believe is secondary to the residual volume. Now, exam shows 40% of the upper cuff scarred and I believe the bladder to be pulled down into the cuff and scar. Patient quite determined to pursue repeat procedure though I warned her that scarring may recur and make the results less than optimal. Any other suggestions as to management and what procedure would you use, repeat A&P repair, paravaginal repair?

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. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
