The use of pessaries for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse: a survey from gynecologists and urologists residents

Utilisation du pessaire gynécologique en cas de prolapsus génital: une enquête auprès des internes

Résumé

INTRODUCTION:  Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition responsible for symptoms that significantly affect the quality of life in women. Despite its effectiveness, low  cost and minor side effects, the pessary is little used in France. The objective of our study was to assess the knowledge, training and practices of residents regarding pessaries. MATERIAL AND METHODS:  This survey was conducted among residents in obstetrics gynecology, medical gynecology and urology in France between March and September 2020. RESULTS:  During the study period, 328 interns responded to the questionnaires. The majority of residents (52.1%) reported never having attended a consultation specializing in pelvicperineology. Only 31.7% felt comfortable having a pessary inserted. According to them, the pessary was indicated in 3 main situations: in case of contraindication to surgery (80%), while awaiting surgery (79%) and in women over 70 years old (62% ). The pessary could be offered to all women for only 46.9% of them. Almost 53% of residents reported ignoring the main complications of pessaries and 83.5% felt they needed further training on the subject. CONCLUSION:  Interns seem to be generally aware of the use of the pessary. Their knowledge of the indications, complications or even monitoring leads us to believe that it is essential to promote their training so that the pessary becomes an integral part of the first-line therapeutic arsenal in the event of POPs.
