Urogynäkologische Deszensusbeschwerden und chronisch rezidivierende Harnwegsinfekte kommen häufig gemeinsam vor. Zurückzuführen ist dies auf gleiche ätiologische Faktoren (hormonmangelbedingte Atrophie, neurogene Erkrankungen, Stoffwechselstörungen) und auf direkte mechanische Einflüsse des Deszensus auf die Harnröhrenfunktion (Abknicken mit Miktionsstörungen und Restharnanstieg bei großer Zystozele oder Stressinkontinenz und Drangsymptomatik bei großer Urethrozele). Die Therapie soll konservativ beginnen und möglichst alle ätiologischen Faktoren angehen. Bausteine der konservativen Therapie sind Östrogene, Beckenbodentraining, Pessare, Trink- und Miktionstraining und Sanierung der urogenitalen Infektkette [1]. Führt die konservative Therapie innert einiger Monate nicht zur Heilung oder zur befriedigenden Besserung, ist in der Regel eine operative Therapie zu empfehlen. Dabei sind moderne Operationsmethoden zu wählen, die nicht nur eine anatomische Rekonstruktion sondern auch eine funktionelle Restitution zum Ziel haben, d.h. Kontinenz, gute Blasenentleerung und Defäktion und schmerzfreie Kohabitation.

Canine hypospadias is a rare condition that can occur in male and female dogs. Affected animals may present signs of urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections, periurethral dermatitis or can remain asymptomatic. Periurethral hypospadias in a 14-week-old mongrel dog and its surgical repair are addressed.

Aims: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition in our country which affects the quality of life of many women. After vaginal operations for genital prolapse, there is increased chance of urinary tract infections, retention of urine and re-catheterization.The objective of this study is to evaluate  women with cystocele  in terms of clinical profile, different modalities of treatment and the complication  following repair.Methods: It is a descriptive study carried out amongst 80 cases of cystocele irrespective of associated uterine descent and stress incontinence of urine in College Of Medical Sciences – Teaching Hospital, Nepal from 1/9/201l to 30/10/2013.Results: During the study, 80 women  with  cystocele  were enrolled. Majority of the women (66.3%, n =53) with cystocele were within 15 to 45 years and 53.8% (n=43) of them had parity beyond 5. Among these women, 51.4% (n=41) had second degree cystocele  and 23.8% (n=19) had stress urinary incontinence. Majority of the women (58.8%, n=40) underwent vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair. Following surgery, the most common complication was urinary tract infection (14.7%, n = 10).Conclusions: In this study, majority of the cases with cystocele were in the reproductive age with parity beyond 5 while maximum number of the women with cystocele had associated third degree uterocervical descent. Urinary tract infection was the commonest complication following surgical treatment followed by retention of urine.

This chapter summarizes the results of the Outcomes Following Vaginal Prolapse Repair and Midurethral Sling (OPUS) trial, in which women without stress urinary incontinence undergoing prolapse surgery were randomized to a midurethral sling or no concomitant midurethral sling. The OPUS trial found that women randomized to undergo prophylactic concomitant midurethral sling at the time of transvaginal repair for pelvic organ prolapse had lower rates of urinary incontinence at 3 and 12 months but also experienced higher rates of adverse events such as bladder perforation, major bleeding, and urinary tract infections.
