  2. Pelvic organ prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_organ_prolapse

    Surgery (for example native tissue repair, biological graft repair, absorbable and non-absorbable mesh repair, colpopexy, or colpocleisis) is used to treat symptoms such as bowel or urinary problems, pain, or a prolapse sensation. When operating a pelvic organ prolapse, introducing a mid-urethral sling during or after surgery seems to reduce ...

  3. Uterine prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_prolapse

    Uterine prolapse is a form of pelvic organ prolapse in which the uterus and a portion of the upper vagina protrude into the vaginal canal and, in severe cases, through the opening of the vagina. [4] It is most often caused by injury or damage to structures that hold the uterus in place within the pelvic cavity. [2]

    In medicine, prolapse is a condition in which organs fall down or slip out of place. It is used for organs protruding through the vagina, rectum, or for the misalignment of the valves of the heart. A spinal disc herniation is also sometimes called "disc prolapse". Prolapse means "to fall out of place", from the Latin prolabi meaning "to fall out".

  5. Single displacement reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_displacement_reaction

    A single-displacement reaction, also known as single replacement reaction or exchange reaction, is an archaic concept in chemistry. It describes the stoichiometry of some chemical reactions in which one element or ligand is replaced by atom or group. [1][2][3] It can be represented generically as: where either.

  6. Transvaginal mesh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transvaginal_mesh

    Uterine Prolapse, an example of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) Transvaginal mesh prevents pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus and rectum from sagging into the vagina due to weak pelvic muscles by acting as a hammock underneath. [3] Depending on the organs involved, it can be placed on the anterior, posterior, or top wall of vagina ...

  7. Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_Organ_Prolapse...

    The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantifications System (POP-Q) is a system for assessing the degree of prolapse of pelvic organs to help standardize diagnosing, comparing, documenting, and sharing of clinical findings. [1][2] This assessment is the most frequently used [3][4] among research publications related to pelvic organ prolapse. [4]

  8. Substitution reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_reaction

    A substitution reaction (also known as single displacement reaction or single substitution reaction) is a chemical reaction during which one functional group in a chemical compound is replaced by another functional group. [1] Substitution reactions are of prime importance in organic chemistry. Substitution reactions in organic chemistry are ...

    Vaginal support structures. The vaginal support structures are those muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, membranes and fascia, of the pelvic floor that maintain the position of the vagina within the pelvic cavity and allow the normal functioning of the vagina and other reproductive structures in the female.
