RESUMEN
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the predictors for overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms after pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. RECENT FINDINGS: In general, an improvement on OAB can be expected after POP surgery. There are few studies which study the predictors of OAB after POP surgery and most studies had a different perspective. Some studies made conclusions on the basis of multivariate analysis, in which all relevant factors were taken into account. On the basis of these studies, it seems that various factors influence the results on OAB symptoms after POP surgery. Predictors for improvement gave a confusing and sometimes contradicting results. The role of preoperative detrusor overactivity is unclear, improvement as well as persistence of OAB was found. Further, the detrusor opening pressure and maximum flow rate seem to play a role. The absence of bothersome OAB preoperatively was a further predictor for absence of postoperative symptoms. Further, it was found that the individual OAB symptoms had different predictors. All together, the results of the various studies are inconclusive. It is therefore at present essentially still impossible to reliably predict the presence of OAB after POP surgery. SUMMARY: More research is necessary on the predictors for OAB after POP surgery.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: To study the prevalence and risk factors of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and its relationship with symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study including women aged between 45 and 85 years, registered in eight general practices. All women were asked to self complete the validated Dutch translated questionnaires. All symptoms were dichotomized as present or absent based on responses to each symptom and degree of bother. RESULTS: Forty-seven percent of the women filled out the questionnaire. Prevalence of urgency was 34% and the prevalence of any OAB symptoms 49%. Prevalence of OAB symptoms increased with advancing age. Symptoms of POP were an independent risk factor for symptomatic OAB. Other risk factors were continence and prolapse surgery in the past, age above 75, overweight, postmenopausal status and smoking. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of any OAB symptoms was 49%. POP symptoms were an independent risk factor for symptomatic OAB.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: This study focussed on the factors which predict the presence of symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: Consecutive women who underwent POP surgery with or without the use of vaginal mesh materials in the years 2004-2007 were included. Assessments were made preoperatively and at follow-up, including physical examination (POP-Q) and standardised questionnaires (IIQ, UDI and DDI). RESULTS: Five hundred and five patients were included with a median follow-up of 12.7 (6-35) months. Bothersome OAB symptoms decreased after POP surgery. De novo bothersome OAB symptoms appeared in 5-6% of the women. Frequency and urgency were more likely to improve as compared with urge incontinence and nocturia. The best predictor for the absence of postoperative symptoms was the absence of preoperative bothersome OAB symptoms. CONCLUSION: The absence of bothersome OAB symptoms preoperatively was the best predictor for the absence of postoperative symptoms.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study is to evaluate cervical amputation with uterosacral ligament plication (modified Manchester) and compare it to vaginal hysterectomy with high uterosacral ligament plication procedure with special regard to the middle compartment. METHODS: Consecutive women with pelvic organ prolapse who underwent either vaginal hysterectomy or a modified Manchester procedure were included. Assessments were made preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up, including physical examination with pelvic organ prolapse quantification standardised questionnaires (incontinence impact questionnaire, urogenital distress inventory, and defaecatory distress inventory). RESULTS: Between 2002 and 2007, 156 patients were included. Ninety-eight patients returned for a 1-year follow-up. In the modified Manchester group, we found no middle compartment recurrence versus two (4%) in the vaginal hysterectomy group. Anterior and posterior compartment prolapse recurrences (stage >or=2) were similar (approximately 50%). Considering operating time and blood loss, modified Manchester was more favourable. There was no difference in the pre- and postoperative subjective scores. The overall functional outcome was acceptable. CONCLUSIONS: We found an excellent performance of both procedures regarding middle compartment recurrences.
