A kismedencei szervek süllyedésének és a női terheléses vizeletvesztésnek a konzervatív és sebészi kezelése Magyarországon.

Abstract

As clinical guidelines are available for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, but not pelvic organ prolapse, in Hungary, the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse varies widely throughout the country and is not standardized. Due to the establishment of the Hungarian Continence and Urogynecological Association, we aimed to determine current conservative and surgical treatment trends and strategies for these conditions in Hungary and compare them with international practice. An online questionnaire consisting of 20 multiple-choice, checkbox, multiple-choice grid, and short-answer items was sent to 40 urology and 65 gynecology departments in Hungary in September and October 2021. The overall response rate was 24.76%. Almost all (96.15%) respondents reported that conservative treatment options were offered as first-line therapy to patients with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse. For symptomatic anterior-wall prolapse, anterior repair, and laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy/sacrocolpopexy were the preferred surgical options (by 28.96% and 27.42% of respondents, respectively). For apical prolapse, laparoscopic sacrofixation was the first-choice treatment (35.88%). For stress urinary incontinence, mid-urethral sling insertion with a transobturator (61.53%) or retropubic (15%) approach was the preferred intervention. The low overall response rate in this study alone reflects the current condition of Hungarian urogynecology. Our findings might provide a good basis for the improvement and refinement of diagnosis and therapy for female urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse in the country. As Hungary is a new affiliated partner of the European Urogynecological Association, we hope that this goal can be achieved soon. In addition, a curriculum for urogynecological specialization is needed. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(52): 2072-2078.
