Pelvic Organ Prolapse after Radical Cystectomy in Bladder Cancer Survivors - Elena Safronova, MD

Pdf Summary

This document contains information about printing a poster and customizing its content. It also discusses a study on pelvic organ prolapse after radical cystectomy in bladder cancer survivors. The study aims to determine the percentage of women who develop pelvic organ prolapse after cystectomy in order to increase awareness of this potential complication. The study used the SEER/Medicare database to identify subjects with bladder cancer who developed pelvic organ prolapse after cystectomy. The results showed that women have a low risk for developing pelvic organ prolapse after radical cystectomy. The database used in the study does not represent the entire U.S. population and there is a need for further analysis to determine if patients diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse choose non-surgical treatment and the time to onset of prolapse after cystectomy. The document also includes a table displaying the number of cystectomies per year and the prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse in patients who underwent cystectomy for bladder cancer. The study identified 601 claims for pelvic organ prolapse out of 127,444 claims submitted by females who had a cystectomy, resulting in a 0.47% incidence of pelvic organ prolapse among these patients.
