  2. Pelvic organ prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_organ_prolapse

    For posterior vaginal repair, the use of mesh or graft material does not seem to provide any benefits. [14] Compared to native tissue repair, transvaginal permanent mesh likely reduces the perception of vaginal prolapse sensation, the risk of recurrent prolapse, and of having repeat surgery specifically only for prolapse.

  3. Cystocele - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystocele

    A cystocele protruding through the vagina in a 73-year-old woman. The cystocele, also known as a prolapsed bladder, is a medical condition in which a woman's bladder bulges into her vagina. [1] [5] Some may have no symptoms. [6] Others may have trouble starting urination, urinary incontinence, or frequent urination. [1]

  4. Colporrhaphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colporrhaphy

    It is the surgical intervention for both cystocele (protrusion of the urinary bladder into the vagina) and rectocele (protrusion of the rectum into the vagina). [citation needed] The repair may be to either or both of the anterior (front) or posterior (rear) vaginal walls, thus the origin of some of its alternative names. [1] [2] [3]

  5. Urethral hypermobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urethral_hypermobility

    Damage to any of these structures, or the nerves that control them can cause the urethra to be displaced from its normal position or to have increased range of motion. This can result in lack of effective closure of the urethra and thus urinary leakage, especially when pressure from the abdomen is increased during physical exertion and cough ...

  6. Rectal prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectal_prolapse

    A rectal prolapse occurs when walls of the rectum have prolapsed to such a degree that they protrude out of the anus and are visible outside the body. [2] However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on whether the prolapsed section is visible externally, and whether the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.

  7. Skin repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_repair

    Once the invading microorganisms have been brought under control, the skin proceeds to heal itself. The ability of the skin to heal even after considerable damage has occurred is due to the presence of stem cells in the dermis and cells in the stratum basale of the epidermis, all of which can generate new tissue.

  8. Vaginal cysts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_cysts

    Vaginal inclusion cysts can appear as small bumps and can develop during childbirth, or after surgery. [8] A squamous inclusion cyst can rarely be found in a newborn. [7] Other cysts can be Bartholin's cysts, Gartner's duct cysts, mucous inclusions, epithelial inclusion cysts, embryonic cysts and urothelial cysts.

  9. Healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing

    The existing epithelial cells can replicate, and, using the basement membrane as a guide, eventually bring the kidney back to normal. After regeneration is complete, the damage is undetectable, even microscopically. [citation needed] Healing must happen by repair in the case of injury to cells that are unable to regenerate (e.g. neurons).
