Dynamic Cysto Colpo Proctogram: An Evolution of Technique Over Twenty Years

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the importance of using dynamic radiologic studies, specifically a dynamic cystocarpopractogram (DCP), to evaluate prolapse and assist in surgical management. The DCP technique involves evaluating prolapse at rest, during the defecatory sequence, and after sequential bowel and bladder emptying. The video demonstrates the procedure, including opacifying the small bowel, bladder, vagina, and rectum with contrast agents. It highlights the significance of sequential organ emptying to accurately diagnose and evaluate prolapse. The video emphasizes that the DCP is a useful and relatively inexpensive tool to assess pelvic floor muscle function and prolapse, particularly in cases where physical examination is inconclusive.
