- The retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure replaced Burch colposuspension as the primary surgical method for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) in women in our department in 1998. In this study we compared the short-term and long-term clinical outcomes of these surgical procedures.Using a case series design, we compared the last 5 years of the Burch procedure (n = 127, 1994-1999) with the first 5 years of the retropubic TVT procedure (n = 180, 1998-2002). Information from the medical records was transferred to a case report form comprising data on perioperative and long-term complications as well as recurrence of UI, defined as bothersome UI or UI in need of repeat surgery. Other endpoints were rates of perioperative and late complications and the rates of prolapse surgery after primary surgery. The data were analyzed with the chi-squared and t tests and survival analysis using SPSS.The cumulative recurrence rate of SUI in women with preoperative SUI was significantly higher after the Burch procedure, but no difference was observed in women with MUI. There were no significant differences in rates of perioperative and late complications. At 12 years there was a significant increase in rates of repeat surgery for incontinence and prolapse in women after the Burch procedure.The long-term efficacy of TVT surgery was superior to that of Burch colposuspension in women with SUI. In addition, the rate of late prolapse surgery was significantly higher after the Burch procedure.

- The aims of this study were to investigate the reasons why some women with long-term urinary incontinence (UI) seek professional help whereas others do not, their experiences and satisfactions with the healthcare services, and how women deal with their incontinence. In total, 95 women aged 23–51 years with persistent UI (median 10 years, range 6–20 years) were included in this telephone interview survey. Seventy-four percent of the women with long-term UI had not sought help. The most common reason given was that the disorder was considered a minor problem, which they felt they could cope with on their own. When women did consult professional help they did so because they were afraid of the odor of urine and that they perceived the leakage as shameful and embarrassing. These women felt that the healthcare service offered appropriate care for their condition. Pelvic floor exercises were the most commonly used management methods for all participants.

- INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to develop a new protocol for documentation of perineal lacerations and to validate the latter against the most common obstetric record system in Sweden. The hypothesis was that the new protocol would render more complete data on perineal lacerations than the current documentation method.METHODS: A protocol for documentation of perineal lacerations was developed to be sufficiently comprehensive to serve research purposes. All women delivering their first child vaginally from 13 October 2015 to 1 February 2016 at Örebro University Hospital were eligible for the validation study. Perineal lacerations were documented using the protocol in parallel with the regular obstetric record system (ObstetriX). Cross tabulations were used to compare the coverage regarding perineal lacerations between the two documentation methods. McNemar's test was used to evaluate systematic differences between the methods.RESULTS: A total of 187 women were included. The coverage of documentation regarding perineal laceration was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the new protocol (89%) compared with ObstetriX (18%). Incidence of second-degree perineal tears was 26% according to the new protocol and 11% according to ObstetriX. The incidence of third-degree perineal tears A, B, and C was 2.7%, 2.1%, and 2.1%, respectively, according to the new protocol, and 3.2%, 2.7%, and 1.1% according to ObstetriX.CONCLUSIONS: This validation study of a new documentation protocol showed that it delivered significantly more comprehensive information regarding perineal lacerations than the most common obstetric record system in Sweden.

- Introduction and hypothesis The German "Pelvic Floor Questionnaire for pregnant and postpartum women" is a self-administered questionnaire customized for pregnancy and the postpartum period that assesses four domains of pelvic floor function regarding perceived symptoms, suffering, and impact on quality of life: bladder, bowel, prolapse, and sexual function. No similar questionnaire is available in Swedish, despite a high prevalence of pregnancy and postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction. Thus, we aimed to translate the validated German questionnaire into Swedish and test its validity and reliability in a Swedish population. Methods Translation and cultural adaptation were performed according to guidelines. Of the 248 women who answered the Swedish questionnaire, 57 filled out the questionnaire twice to evaluate test-retest reliability. We also assessed internal consistency and discriminant validity. Results The Swedish version of the questionnaire showed good face and content validity. Cronbach's alpha was in the acceptable to excellent range (bladder 0.82, bowel 0.78, prolapse 0.91, and sexual 0.83), showing adequate internal consistency. A comparison of means (>= 1 point) showed that the questionnaire significantly (p < 0.05) distinguished between women who reported suffering and those who did not. Cohen's kappa for all individual items showed fair to almost perfect agreement (0.24-0.87) between test and retest scores. The intraclass correlation coefficients for domain scores (0.92-0.97) were all in an optimal range. Conclusions The Swedish version of the questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing pelvic floor disorders, symptom severity, and impact on quality of life during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

- Over the past decade efforts have been made to develop less invasive surgical treatment for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Abdominal urethrocystopexy with fibrin sealant combined with a couple of absorbable sutures has previously been reported as a promising method. This prospective observational study was aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of abdominal urethrocystopexy through a minilaparotomy using solely fibrin sealant (Tisseel) as the fixation glue. Forty-three women with objectively proven SUI were operated upon with this method. The subjective cure rates at 1 and 3 years' follow-up were 72% and 55%, respectively. The corresponding objective cure rates were 64% and 60%. No serious major operative complications occurred. One patient had transient urinary retention for 3 months. Otherwise, micturition was established within a median 1 day (range 1-3 days) after the operation. The result of this pilot study indicates a cure rate lower than that obtained with the conventional abdominal Burch colposuspension. Thus the method cannot be recommended as a standard procedure for treatment of SUI.

- We report a serious complication following a TVT-Secur procedure due to injury of the corona mortis requiring a surgical intervention for removal of 1 l of clotted blood from the space of Retzius. The corona mortis is an anomaly of the vessel combining the obturator and epigastric arteries passing over the superior pubic ramus, well known to hernia and orthopedic surgeons but probably less well known to gynecological surgeons.

- INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to determine predictors of long-term success in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) treated with a 3-month pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) program delivered via the Internet or a brochure.METHODS: We included 169 women with SUI ≥1 time/week who completed the 1-year follow-up (n = 169, mean age 50.3, SD 10.1 years). Three outcome variables defined success after 1 year: Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I), International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF), and sufficient treatment. Using logistic regression, we analyzed data from the baseline, and from the 4-month and 1-year follow-ups, for potential predictors of success.RESULTS: Of the participants, 77 % (129 out of 169) were successful in ≥1 of the outcomes, 23 % (37 out of 160) were successful in all 3. Participants with successful short-term results were more likely to succeed in the corresponding outcome at 1 year than those without successful short-term results (adjusted odds ratios [ORs]: PGI 5.15, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 2.40-11.03), ICIQ-UI SF 6.85 (95 % CI 2.83-16.58), and sufficient treatment 3.78 (95 % CI 1.58-9.08). Increasing age predicted success in PGI-I and sufficient treatment (adjusted OR 1.06, 95 % CI 1.02-1.10, and 1.08, 95 % CI, 1.03-1.13 respectively). Compared with not training regularly, regular PFMT at 1 year predicted success for PGI and sufficient treatment (adjusted OR 2.32, 95 % CI 1.04-5.20, and 2.99, 95 % CI 1.23-7.27 respectively).CONCLUSION: The long-term success of a non-face-to-face treatment program for SUI with a focus on PFMT can be predicted by successful short-term results, increasing age, and the performance of regular PFMT after 1 year.
