  1. Prolapse and Incontinence Craig Dyson Sioned Griffiths October 2013

  2. Contents • Normal Anatomy • Causes of prolapse • Types of Prolapse • Investigation • Management

  3. Anatomy

  4. Anatomy

  5. Anatomy

  6. Prolapse • “To fall out” • Protrusion of an organ or structure beyond its normal confines and with an epithelial surface • Genitourinary prolapse – Descent of one or more of pelvic organs. • 41% of 50-79 year old’s but uncertain • Uterocoele, Cystocoele, Rectocoele, Enterocoele

  7. Pathophysiology • Levator Ani/Endopelvic Fascia important • Damage to these structures can occur through: • Trauma • Neuropathic Injury • Disruption/Stretching • Multifactorial – Orientation of bones may be a factor.

  8. Risk Factors • Increasing Age (Double risk with every decade) • Vaginal Delivery • Increasing parity • Obesity • Spina Bifida • Pregnancy Variables • Macrosomia • Prolonged 2nd stage • Episiotomy • Use of forceps/oxytocin • FH of prolapse • Constipation • Connective Tissue Disorder • Occupation

  9. Types • Anterior • Urethrocoele • Urinary Stress Incontinence • Rare • Cystocoele • Increased frequency • UTI • Sensation of mass • No Symptoms • Both • Most Common

  10. Types • Middle • Uterine Prolapse • Vaginal Vault Prolapse • Post Hysterectomy • Assoc with cystocoele, rectocoele and enterocoele. • Retention • Enterocoele • Pouch of Douglas • Cough Impulse

  11. Types • Posterior • Rectocoele

  12. POPQ System • Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System • Valsalva - ? Left Lateral • Stage 0 • Stage 1 – 1cm above hymen • Stage 2 - Within 1 cm of hymen • Stage 3 - >1cm below plane of hymen but <2cm of total length of vagina • Stage 4 – Complete eversion of vagina

  13. Symptoms • General • Fullness • Sensation of bulge • Backache • Urinary • Incontinence • Frequency • Coital • Dypareunia • Flatus • Bowel • Constipation/Incontinence • Need to apply digital pressure

  14. Investigations • History and Examination • Urinalysis • Post-Voidal Urine volume testing • Urodynamics • US • Urea/Creatinine

  15. Management • Conservative • Watchful Waiting • Lifestyle Modification • Pelvic Floor Exercises • Evidence? • Vaginal Oestrogen Creams • Pessary

  16. Pessary • Inserted into vagina to reduce prolapse • Made of silicon or plastic or Soaked in wine… • Good short term option

  17. Management • Surgical • Effective • Re-operation required in 29% of cases • Fitness of patient • Sexually Active • Surgeons Advice

  18. Surgery • Anterior Colporrhaphy • Involves plication of anterior vaginal wall to reinforce. • Hysterectomy • Sacrospinous Fixation • Unilateral or bilateral fixation of uterus to sacrospinous ligament • Sacocolpoplexy • Mesh used to attach top of vagina to sacrum.

  19. Summary • Prolapse is increasingly common with age. • Can be classified according to compartment or level of prolapse • Can be clear on examination • Good conservative and surgical options available • Good prognosis
