RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence of serious complications and reoperations for recurrence after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and compare the three most common types of repair. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study using a registry. SETTING: Nineteen French surgical centres. POPULATION: A total of 2309 women participated between 2017 and 2019. METHODS: A multivariate analysis including an inverse probability of treatment weighting approach was used to obtain three comparable groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serious complications and subsequent reoperations for POP recurrence. RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 17.6 months. Surgeries were native tissue vaginal repairs (n = 504), transvaginal mesh placements (n = 692) and laparoscopic sacropexies with mesh (n = 1113). Serious complications occurred among 52 women (2.3%), and reoperation for POP recurrence was required for 32 women (1.4%). At 1 year the cumulative weighted incidence of serious complications was 1.8% for native tissue vaginal repair, 3.9% for transvaginal mesh and 2.2% for sacropexy, and the rates for reoperation for recurrence of POP were 1.5, 0.7 and 1.1%, respectively. Compared with native tissue vaginal repair, the risk of serious complications was higher in the transvaginal mesh group (weighted hazard ratio, wHR 3.84, 95% CI 2.43-6.08) and the sacropexy group (wHR 2.48, 95% CI 1.45-4.23), whereas the risk of reoperation for prolapse recurrence was lower in both the transvaginal mesh (wHR 0.22, 95% CI 0.13-0.39) and sacropexy (wHR 0.29, 95% CI 0.18-0.47) groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that native tissue vaginal repairs have the lowest risk of serious complications but the highest risk of reoperation for recurrence. These results are useful for informing women and for shared decision making. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Laparoscopic sacropexy had fewer serious complications than transvaginal mesh and fewer reoperations for recurrence than vaginal repair.

AIM: To assess the knowledge of adolescent girls and young women on pelvic-perineal disorders (PPD). METHOD: We searched on PubMed, Cochrane Library, Kinédoc and Semantic Scholar databases using the MeSH keywords: "knowledge" "awareness" "surveys" "young women" "pelvic floor" "adolescent" "teenager" "athletic injury" "urinary incontinence". The articles had to have been published within the last 15 years, written in French or English, and deal with the state of knowledge of adolescents and young women concerning the perineal sphere using questionnaires. RESULTS: A total of 8 studies were included in the review, 5 cross-sectional studies and 3 intervention studies. The knowledge of adolescent girls and young women interviewed about the anatomy of the pelvic floor, its function, and risk factors for PPD was low. The majority of the participants wanted more information about the pelvic floor. Two studies that conducted an educational intervention showed a significant improvement in knowledge. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of pelvic-perineal disorders and pelvic floor function is poor in adolescent girls and young women. To better assess them, it would be necessary to validate a questionnaire containing all the items about knowledge.

INTRODUCTION: Our objective was to evaluate the impact of pelvic floor educational sessions on teenage girls about their general knowledge of pelvic floor disorders (PFD) and the anatomy of the pelvic floor. MATERIAL: Educational sessions were offered to teenage girls from middle and high schools in the city of Caen. Each session included pelvic floor anatomy, urinary and digestive physiology as well as situations that favor PFD. At the beginning and end of the session, the participants received a questionnaire on their knowledge and questions concerning their satisfaction were asked at the end of the session. A questionnaire was sent at 2 months to assess the changes in their urinary and digestive habits as well as the dissemination of information to those around them. RESULTS: One hundred and five teenage girls, average age 15, participated in these sessions; 61% responded at 2 months. The educational sessions have significantly improved knowledge about the pelvic floor. After the sessions, 92% and 52% reported having changed their urinary and defecatory habits. Participants found the sessions very useful and all participants recommended these sessions to a friend. CONCLUSION: Pelvic floor educational sessions improve the knowledge of teenage girls and limit behaviors that favor PFD. Teenage satisfaction is important and the dissemination of information is high. A pelvic floor educational program in schools could help limit risky behaviors for the pelvic floor.

INTRODUCTION: Pelvic floor dysfunctions are an important health-care issue however there are no primary prevention programs for perineal health. This study aims to evaluate the impact of perineal education group sessions on women's urinary and digestive behaviors and their satisfaction with these sessions. MATERIAL: Perineal education sessions were proposed to women working in a gynecology department. Each session covered perineal physiology and anatomy, urinary and digestive physiology as well as risk situations for the pelvic floor. At the beginning and end of the sessions, participants completed a questionnaire on their knowledge about the pelvic floor and questions concerning their satisfaction were asked at the end of the session. A 2-month questionnaire assessed changes in urinary and digestive habits as well as the dissemination of information. RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-three women, average age 38, participated in these sessions; 107 responded at 2 months. The education sessions significantly improved pelvic floor fonctions knowledge. After the sessions, 81.3% of women reported changing their urinary habits and 60.7% their defecatory habits. Participants found the sessions very useful (rating 9.7/10), all participants recommended these sessions to a friend and the dissemination of the information was important. CONCLUSION: Perineal education sessions improve women's knowledge and limit risky behaviors for the pelvic floor. The satisfaction of women who received information is important and the dissemination of information strong. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the short-term incidence of serious complications of surgery for urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. DESIGN: Prospective longitudinal cohort study using a surgical registry. SETTING: Thirteen public hospitals in France. POPULATION: A cohort of 1873 women undergoing surgery between February 2017 and August 2018. METHODS: Preliminary analysis of serious complications after a mean follow-up of 7 months (0-18 months), according to type of surgery. Surgeons reported procedures and complications, which were verified by the hospitals' information systems. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serious complication requiring discontinuation of the procedure or subsequent surgical intervention, life-threatening complication requiring resuscitation, or death. RESULTS: Fifty-two women (2.8%, 95% CI 2.1-3.6%) experienced a serious complication either during surgery, requiring the discontinuation of the procedure, or during the first months of follow-up, necessitating a subsequent reoperation. One woman also required resuscitation; no women died. Of 811 midurethral slings (MUSs), 11 were removed in part or totally (1.4%, 0.7-2.3%), as were two of 391 transvaginal meshes (0.5%, 0.1-1.6%), and four of 611 laparoscopically placed mesh implants (0.7%, 0.2-1.5%). The incidence of serious complications 6 months after the surgical procedure was estimated to be around 3.5% (2.0-5.0%) after MUS alone, 7.0% (2.8-11.3%) after MUS with prolapse surgery, 1.7% (0.0-3.8%) after vaginal native tissue repair, 2.8% (0.9-4.6%) after transvaginal mesh, and 1.0% (0.1-1.9%) after laparoscopy with mesh. CONCLUSIONS: Early serious complications are relatively rare. Monitoring must be continued and expanded to assess the long-term risk associated with mesh use and to identify its risk factors. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Short-term serious complications are rare after surgery for urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, even with mesh.

AIM: Evaluate the impact of pelvic floor education on the symptoms of female patients referred for pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). METHODS: Forty female patients suffering from pelvic floor disorders and referred to independent practice for PFME between February and May 2019 answered a survey on symptoms and quality of life before PFME, after four sessions of pelvic floor education and at the end of PFME. The ICIQ-SF, USP, Contilife, PDFI 20, Kess, and Wexner scores were used to evaluate the results. The protocol consisted in four initial sessions of pelvic floor education including information on each field of perineology ; the fifth session was dedicated to visual feedback using a mirror ; the following five sessions were tailored according to the care objectives established based on the initial assessment. RESULTS: The scores were significantly improved after the four initial sessions of pelvic floor education. The improvement was significant at the end of the re-education program. The PFDI-20 score dropped from 66,9 to 20,9 (P=0,002), the ICIQ-SF score from 8,4 to 1,5 (P<10-3), the Wexner score from 7,4 to 5,1 (P<10-3) and the Kess score from 14,2 to 8,7 (P=0,05). CONCLUSION: The results showed that female patients undergoing perineal re-education including pelvic floor education sessions show a significant improvement in their symptoms already immediately after the pelvic floor education sessions.

INTRODUCTION: Pessary is one of the commonly used conservative treatments of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). However, its use seems to be limited to elderly patients or in case refusal or contraindication to surgery. AIM: Our main objective was to evaluate and identify factors associated with satisfaction in women using a pessary. Secondary objectives were to assess improvement in symptom and quality of live scores and to identify factors associated with unsucessfull pessary use. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study performed in a French teaching hospital in women with symptomatic POP. The primary endpoint was the PGI-I (Patient Global Impression of Improvement). Symptom improvement was assessed using the symptom scores (PFDI-20, ICIQ-SF, PISQ-12 and USP) and the PFIQ-7 quality of life score. RESULTS: Eighty five patients were included. The satisfaction rate was 78,1% at 1 month and 87,5% at 6months. The effectiveness of pessary was the main benefit reported by patients at both 1month (60%) and 6 months (59,4%). The only factors associated witch patient satisfaction were the greater improvement in symptoms (PFDI20 et PFIQ7; p<0.05). In case of failure, patients were significantly younger and overweight (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: The pessary is a true first-line treatments alternative of POP without major complications. Patient acceptance and satisfaction are important.

INTRODUCTION: Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is characterized by the presence of pain in the posterior pelvic area, distally and laterally to the fifth lumbar vertebra, and/or at the pubic symphysis. PGP is a very common pain condition in women, especially during pregnancy and postpartum. After delivery, pain prevalence decreases to 7 % in the first three months. The current literature describes an association between pelvic girdle pain and different perineal characteristics and symptoms. OBJECTIVES: A better understanding of perineal structures influence on PGP could assist towards the management of this condition. The aim of this review is to describe the peer-reviewed literature about perineal function in patients with PGP. METHODS: A bibliographic search on PubMed was conducted. The key words used were: pelvic girdle pain, pregnacy-related low back pain, lumbopelvic pain, posterior pelvic pain, peripartum pelvic pain, pelvic girdle relaxation, pelvic joint instability, peripartum pelvic pain, sacroiliac joint pain, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, sacroiliac-joint related pelvic pain and pelvic floor. Two hundred and twenty-one (221) articles were identified. Out of them, a total of nine articles were selected. The level of evidence was determined using Oxford's scale. RESULTS: Patients with PGP showed increased activity of the pelvic floor muscles (P=0.05) (LE3), decreased urogenital hiatus area (PGP 12.4 cm2±2.7, control 13.7 cm2±2.8, P=0.015) (LE3), shorter endurance time (PGP 17.8 s; control 54.0 s, P=0.00) (LE3), significantly later onset time during affected side leg elevation (PGP 25ms, control -129ms, P=0.01) (LE3), levator ani and obturator internus tenderness (PGP 25/26; control 5/25, P<0.001) (LE3) and a higher prevalence of vesico-sphincteric disorders compared to asymptomatic subjects (LE3). CONCLUSION: This review confirms that subjects suffering PGP present particular perineal characteristics regarding morphology and biomechanics. It would be interesting to develop clinical research concerning pelvic floor release effect in PGP.

AIMS: To assess the prevalence of anal (AI) and urinary (UI) incontinence at medium term after 3rd and 4th degree anal sphincter tears and their impact on sexuality and women's quality of life. MATERIAL: It is a case-control, single center study. Sixty-eight primiparous women delivered with severe anal sphincter tear (exposed group) were compared to 136 women without (control group). Questionnaires on anal and urinary incontinence, sexual function and quality of life, using validated scores, were sent between two and five years after the first delivery. Maternal and obstetric data were collected retrospectively on the medical files. RESULTS: The answer rate was 22.5% (46/204) of which 30.9% (21/68) in the exposed group and 18.4% (25/136) in the unexposed group. In case of severe anal sphincter tear, 57.1% of women reported an AI vs 48% in the control group (P=0.76). The rate of AI for liquid stool was significantly higher in the exposed group (P=0.05). Patients with severe perineal tears reported a greater impact of symptoms on their quality of life but the difference with the control group was not significant. CONCLUSIONS: The severity of symptoms related to anal sphincter tears is common and underestimated. Preventive measures must be improved in order to maintain women's quality of life. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

AIMS: To assess the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in a population of young nulliparous women and the effectiveness of self-perineal exercises in symptomatic women. MATERIAL: Three hundred and fifteen nulliparous students from French secondary establishments answered through a secure website, created for the study, an anonymous questionnaire about UI. The questionnaire included validated symptom scores (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, ICIQ-UI SF) and quality of life (Contilife). Women who reported UI were asked to perform a self-perineal rehabilitation program for 8 weeks. A second questionnaire was completed after reeducation to assess the evolution of their UI. RESULTS: Among the 315 respondents, 92 women (29.2%) reported UI. The mean age was 23.0 (± 4.4) years in the continent group and 22.9 (± 3.6) years in the incontinent group. Only 24 of the 92 women with UI (26.1%) completed the reeducation program with a significant improvement in UI and quality of life (QoL). CONCLUSION: UI is a common disorder in young nulliparous women. Perineal self-exercises without the intervention of a professional could help to improve the disorders. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5.

OBJECTIVE: Teenagers use the Internet to obtain and exchange information in multiple fields, including about taboo subjects such as sexuality. Our objectives were to determine the prevalence and vulnerability factors related to active cybersexuality among teenagers aged between 15 and 17 years in western Normandy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was an observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study integrated into sexual education classes for teenagers between 15 and 17 years old. An anonymous questionnaire, designed for the study, was given at the beginning of each session. RESULTS: The study had a 4-month duration and involved 1,208 teenagers. The results revealed that 66% of them engaged in cybersex, with sexting being the most widespread practice: 21% sent such sexts, 60% received such sexts, and 12% of boys shared such texts with others. Other practices, such as dedipix, dating websites, and skin parties, were more marginal, but 12% of teenagers had met someone in real life after meeting them first online. A history of experiencing violence, a lack of parental control, female gender, poor self-esteem, and consuming toxic drugs were associated with a higher risk of cybersexuality with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.63, 1.95, 2.07, 2.27, and 2.66, respectively. Number of friends on social networks >300 and daily viewing of pornography were also strongly associated with cybersexuality with an OR of 2.83 and 6.18, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that cybersex is practiced by two thirds of teens. Vulnerability factors most strongly associated with cybersexuality were female gender, poor self-esteem, consuming toxic drugs, number of friends on social networks >300, and daily viewing of pornography. Cybersexuality involves risks (social exclusion, bullying, dropout, poor self-esteem, breakdown) that are possible to prevent by highlighting this theme during sexual education classes.

BACKGROUND: It is likely that the pathophysiology of urinary incontinence (UI) differs between women who are incontinent before the first delivery and those whose incontinence occurs after. In this systematic review, we aimed to assess the association between the mode of delivery and the risk of postpartum UI in primiparous women with and without prenatal UI. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase and CINHAL databases. Prospective studies including primiparous women during their pregnancy with a comparison of the rate of postpartum UI in women who underwent cesarean delivery or vaginal delivery according to continence status before delivery were included. The Risk Ratio (RR) was calculated with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) using the total number of events and patients extracted from the individual studies. A subgroup comparison analysed the potential influence of women's prenatal continence status. Heterogeneity was estimated using I² statistics. RESULTS: The risk of postpartum UI was significantly higher after vaginal delivery than after cesarean section (RR 1.80, 95% CI 1.48- 2.18). According to the subgroup test, the postpartum UI risk following a vaginal delivery, compared to cesarean section, was significantly higher in the subgroup of continent women during pregnancy (RR 2.57, 95% CI 2.17-3.04) than in the subgroup of incontinent pregnant women (1.56, 95% CI 1.27-1.92). CONCLUSIONS: The effect of a cesarean section in preventing postpartum UI appears controversial, particularly in women with prenatal UI.

INTRODUCTION: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition responsible for symptoms that significantly affect the quality of life in women. Despite its effectiveness, low cost and minor side effects, the pessary is little used in France. The objective of our study was to assess the knowledge, training and practices of residents regarding pessaries. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This survey was conducted among residents in obstetrics gynecology, medical gynecology and urology in France between March and September 2020. RESULTS: During the study period, 328 interns responded to the questionnaires. The majority of residents (52.1%) reported never having attended a consultation specializing in pelvicperineology. Only 31.7% felt comfortable having a pessary inserted. According to them, the pessary was indicated in 3 main situations: in case of contraindication to surgery (80%), while awaiting surgery (79%) and in women over 70 years old (62%). The pessary could be offered to all women for only 46.9% of them. Almost 53% of residents reported ignoring the main complications of pessaries and 83.5% felt they needed further training on the subject. CONCLUSION: Interns seem to be generally aware of the use of the pessary. Their knowledge of the indications, complications or even monitoring leads us to believe that it is essential to promote their training so that the pessary becomes an integral part of the first-line therapeutic arsenal in the event of POPs.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determine one-day hysterectomy's criteria of acceptability and feasibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We realized an observational descriptive survey based on questionnaires which were sent to gynecologic surgeons. Criteria were defined as major when rate of favorable responses was superior to 70%. RESULTS: Main major criteria were: definition of an age limit (80.3% of respondents), of a Body Mass Index limit (70%), no history of coronary artery disease (77.6%), no anticoagulant therapy with curative intent (95.4%) or antiplatelet (71.1%), no history of sleep apnea (77.4%), surgery within two hours (85.1%), definition of intraoperative bleeding limit (87.5%), no laparotomy (97.4%), no intra abdominal drainage (77.6%), presence of an accompanying at home (99.3%), pain evaluation (97.4%), absence of nausea before leaving (75.5%) and spontaneous urination (96.7%). CONCLUSION: Our study determined major criteria to practice one-day hysterectomy. Decision should be based on a personalized benefice-risk balance analysis. Final decision belongs to patient, as her complete engagement is fundamental.

INTRODUCTION: The objective of these clinical practice guidelines was to analyse all of the interventions during pregnancy and childbirth that might prevent obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) and postnatal pelvic floor symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: These guidelines were developed in accordance with the methods prescribed by the French Health Authority (HAS). RESULTS: A prenatal clinical examination of the perineum is recommended for women with a history of Crohn's disease, OASIS, genital mutilation, or perianal lesions (professional consensus). Just after delivery, a perineal examination is recommended to check for OASIS (Grade B); if there is doubt about the diagnosis, a second opinion should be requested (Grade C). In case of OASIS, the injuries (including their severity) and the technique for their repair should be described in detail (Grade C). Perineal massage during pregnancy must be encouraged among women who want it (Grade B). No intervention conducted before the start of the active phase of the second stage of labour has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of perineal injury. The crowning of the baby's head should be manually controlled and the posterior perineum manually supported to reduce the risk of OASIS (Grade C). The performance of an episiotomy during normal deliveries is not recommended to reduce the risk of OASIS (Grade A). In instrumental deliveries, episiotomy may be indicated to avoid OASIS (Grade C). When an episiotomy is performed, a mediolateral incision is recommended (Grade B). The indication for episiotomy should be explained to the woman, and she should consent before its performance. Advising women to have a caesarean delivery for primary prevention of postnatal urinary or anal incontinence is not recommended (Grade B). During pregnancy and again in the labour room, obstetrics professionals should focus on the woman's expectations and inform her about the modes of delivery.

Complete necrosis of the penis and scrotum due to strangulation of the external genitalia is unusually encountered in urologic emergencies. Urological conservative management is recommended. Delayed presentation is a major source of complications. We report the case of a psychotic patient, who was transferred from the emergency department in a context of complete necrosis of the external genitalia. This patient's history included chronic psychotic disorder and positive HIV serology, but he refused to take either neuroleptic or antiretroviral therapy. Complete amputation of the penis and bilateral orchidectomy were performed. We report the first six months of medical management.

The evaluation of genital prolapse is essentially clinical; however imaging tests such as dynamic MRI or urodynamic explorations may be useful in complex cases, especially before surgical management. Dynamic MRI allows morphological and dynamic analysis of pelvic floor and levator ani function. It can also detect post-obstetric injuries, although the long-term significance of these injuries remains to be discovered. Quantification of the severity of prolapse is possible with MRI; however, the correlation of these measures with clinical examination seems poor. Its interest lies mainly in the qualitative assessment of the three stages of prolapse and the detection of elytroceles, which can be difficult to clinical examination. Urodynamics provides useful information on vesico-sphincteric function, but none of these parameters seems to be decisive in the management of prolapse.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of outpatient laparoscopy in gynaecology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective monocentric study included 50 patients. Postoperative pain was evaluated by the visual analogic scale (VAS). Reasons for hospital stay and emergency consultation rates in the first postoperative month were noted. Patient's satisfaction was recorded at the postoperative visit one month after the intervention. RESULTS: The following procedures were included in the study: cystectomy, oophorectomy±salpingectomy, explorative laparoscopy for chronic pelvic pain and tubal sterilization. Mean operative time never exceeded 90 minutes (mean 60±26.5min). A resident performed 70% of the procedures. No intraoperative complication was reported. Only one patient stayed hospitalised overnight. On the first and second postoperative days, the VAS was 4.89 (±2.25) and 4.14 (±2.20) respectively. Twenty-five patients (50%) were very satisfied of the medical care, 23 patients (46%) were satisfied and one patient (2%) was not much satisfied. CONCLUSION: The outpatient laparoscopy in gynaecology seems feasible with a high level of satisfaction. It can be proposed to patients after good information.

AIM: To study the impact of the use of glue instead of some laparoscopic sutures, on the operative time, the morbidity, and the short-term anatomical and functional results in the laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-two patients underwent a LSCP at Poissy-St-Germain-en-Laye University Hospital. The fixation of prostheses was made either exclusively by sutures (Group S), or by associating sutures (on traction sites) and biological glue (GroupC). Comparison was made after pairing on the number of prostheses associated surgery. Patients' satisfaction was assessed thanks to the validated PGI-I questionnaire. RESULTS: The mean operative time (178.7 [Group S] vs 173.1 minutes [Group C]) and the mean hospital stay (3.94 [Group S] vs 3.31 days [Group C]) were not significantly different. Anatomical results (POP-Q) and the mean satisfaction rate in the short-term were similar in both groups (1.67 [Group S] vs 1.30 [Group C]. Morbidity was also similar in both groups; no serious complications have been experienced. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The use of the glue in the LSCP did not significantly reduce the operative time. However, the use of glue for the adhesion of prostheses in addition to sutures has shown its safety and efficacy compared to the conventional technique (sutures exclusively) since the morbidity, the anatomical results and satisfaction rate are identical in the short-term. A study involving a larger number of patients with a longer follow-up seems necessary.
