Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) must comply with the strict rules of design and conduct and their reporting should reflect it. Our aim was to evaluate how the quality of RCT reporting in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has evolved. ⋯ RCTs in POP are scarce. The quality of reporting is suboptimal in many aspects and has not improved in recent years.

Comparative Study
An anatomic comparison of the original versus a modified inside-out transobturator procedure.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the modification of a shortened tape and reduced dissection of the inside-out transobturator procedure on the tape's relationship to the relevant anatomical structures. ⋯ The shorter, inside-out transobturator tape traverses less muscular structures than its original counterpart, while still consistently anchoring in the obturator membrane at a similarly safe distance from the obturator canal.

This paper seeks to study the clinical presentation and emergency treatment of bladder rupture associated with uterine rupture at delivery. From June to December 2009, three cases of rupture of the uterus involving maternal bladder during labor at Revolutionary Hospital at Hodeidah, Yemen were reviewed. Intraoperatively, it appeared that the posterior wall of the bladder and the anterior wall of the uterus had ruptured; the laceration of the posterior bladder wall was closed in two layers. ⋯ It would be life threatening or would lead to long-term complications. Both urologists and obstetrician should keep bladder injuries in mind, as serious outcomes might occur during labor. Surgical treatment could be the preferred approach for this situation.

Lead migration after sacral neuromodulation: surgical revision in fascial versus tined anchoring systems.
Our objective was to compare risk of surgical revision after sacral neuromodulator lead migration based on the type of anchoring system. ⋯ Two years after sacral neuromodulator implantation, lead migration is similar between fascial-anchored and tined leads.

The objectives of this study are to investigate myofascial pain in patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) and to correlate myofascial exam findings with validated questionnaires. ⋯ Myofascial pain is prevalent among IC patients and positively correlated with pelvic floor dysfunction scores. These findings support evaluation of pelvic floor myofascial pain in IC patients and suggest a possible benefit from pelvic floor therapy.
