Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Summary

This review discusses traditional surgical approaches for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), categorizing them into reconstructive and obliterative procedures. Patient-specific factors guide the choice between these methods and surgical routes.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Science

Background:

  • Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery is common, yet optimal timing, preoperative evaluation, and outcome assessment remain areas for further research.
  • High-quality evidence guides surgical practice, but fundamental questions persist regarding POP management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review traditional surgical approaches for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
  • To provide consensus recommendations on surgical strategies for POP based on current evidence.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed by a global committee of prolapse specialists.
  • Consensus recommendations were developed following the abstraction of relevant prolapse literature.

Main Results:

  • Surgical correction of POP is broadly classified into reconstructive procedures (addressing defects and apex suspension) and obliterative procedures (vaginal closure).
  • Reconstructive surgery can be performed via vaginal or abdominal routes.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical planning for POP must consider individual patient factors such as surgical risk, recurrence risk, prior treatments, and patient goals.
  • The choice between obliterative and reconstructive procedures, and the route for reconstructive repairs (vaginal vs. abdominal), should be individualized.
