Interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the proposed International Continence Society, Society of Gynecologic Surgeons, and American Urogynecologic Society pelvic organ prolapse classification system

Article Abstract:

Measurements of genital prolapse made according to the proposed criteria of a coalition of professional associations appear to be reproducible by different examiners and when the same examiner takes the measurements at two different times. Forty-eight women had two pelvic exams by two different examiners and two pelvic exams at different times performed by the same examiner. Measurements agreed closely in both cases. Where there were differences, they were minor. The experience of the examiner did not affect results. The examination averaged four minutes long even when performed by an inexperienced examiner.

The value of intraoperative cystoscopy in urogynecologic and reconstructive pelvic surgery

Article Abstract:

Intraoperative cystoscopy may be useful for recognizing urinary tract injuries that occur during urologic and gynecologic surgery in women. Cystoscopy is the examination of the bladder with a surgical viewing scope. Researchers evaluated surveillance cystoscopy by reviewing the medical charts of 224 surgery patients. Cystoscopy during the surgical procedure identified 9 injuries to the ureter, bladder or other structures that might have been missed without the use of the scope. The technique may prevent complications resulting from unidentified injuries during surgery.
