16
Q

Mechanism of beta agonist

A

Promote bladder relaxation

17
Q

Side effects of anticholinergics

A

Dry mouth, constipation (more rarely somnolence, dry eyes)

18
Q

Contraindications to anticholinergics

A

Narrow angle glaucoma, gastroparesis

19
Q

Indication and protocol for posterior tibial nerve stimulation

A

For OAB; motor (toe) and sensory (sole of foot) to acupuncture needle in nerve, 12 weekly sessions of 30 minutes each

20
Q

Mechanism of Botox

A

Acetylcholine transmission blocked by cleaving SNAP25 molecule, which usually allows them to fuse to membrane

21
Q

Nerve impacted by Interstim

A

S3

22
Q

POP-Q staging criteria

A
0 = anterior and posterior -3
1 = not stage 0 but also leading edge <-1 cm
2 = leading edge between -1 and +1 cm
3 = leading greater than + 1 cm
4 = leading edge maximum possible descent

Q

Women’s lifetime risk of POP repair or UI surgery

A

11%

24
Q

Nerve at risk during sacrospinous ligament fixation and its location

A

Internal obturator, inferior gluteal, and pudendal arteries

26
Q

Where does SSLS suture go?

A

2 cm medial to ischial spine on the ligament

32
Q

Oral meds for interstitial cystitis

A

Phenazopyradine, TCA (like amitriptyline), antihistamine

33
Q

Typical timing for fistula presentation after hysterectomy

A

7-21 days

34
Q

Hyst with highest rate of bladder injury

A

LAVH and TVH

35
Q

How to repair bladder
