What is the best surgical approach for prolapse in women who have already had a hysterectomy? Study found sacrocolpopexy superior to native tissue repair, but similar rates of satisfaction for both as well as transvaginal mesh repair. ja.ma/3yDo5GK #PFDNresearch

I'm happy to share that the results of IMPROVE (Investigation to Minimize Prolapse Recurrence Of the Vagina using Estrogen) have, at last, been published! See JAMA, Aug 15, 2023. I'm so grateful to the NIA and the teams at UTSW, UAB, and WIHRI. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Perioperative Vaginal Estrogen as Adjunct to Native Tissue Vaginal Apical Prolapse Repair

Perioperative Vaginal Estrogen as Adjunct to Native Tissue Vaginal Apical Prolapse Repair

This randomized clinical superiority trial compares the efficacy of perioperative vaginal estrogen vs placebo cream on native tissue prolapse surgery outcomes.

An important @PFDNresearch pub: “True failure rates after prolapse surgery may be overestimated in the current literature. Only 13% of clinical trial subjects initially met both subjective and objective criteria for failure.” #POP #FPMRS

BOTTOM-LINE: 100units #bladderbotox may be enough; but women receiving 200units compared to 100units of BoNT-A had smaller decreases in UUI episodes over 6 months likely reflecting differences in unmeasured severity indicators @FPMRSJournal @PFDNresearch bit.ly/2ZSzFZW
how much are you injecting for non-neurogenic OAB? 100 or 200 units?
