Subjects who chose to participate answered questions about their comfort level with management of various urogynecologic conditions, their perceptions of the need for a pelvic reconstructive surgeon in their community, and when they feel it is appropriate to refer to a specialist.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Two hundred ninety-four obstetrics\/gynecology generalists responded to the survey with overall 33% response rate. There was a wide range of comfort level depending on the complexity of the condition. Most of the subjects felt comfortable in the management of stress and urge incontinence, cystocele, rectocele, and uterine prolapse. On the other hand, most of the subjects were uncomfortable with management of intrinsic sphincter deficiency, fecal incontinence, recurrent incontinence after failed surgery, and complications of vaginal mesh surgery. In addition, there was wide variation in types of surgical options offered by different practitioners. When we compared the results by age, younger gynecologists have a smaller repertoire of procedures they offer for treatment of urogynecologic conditions. Burch colposuspension, uterosacral ligament suspension, and colpocleisis were performed more often by older surgeons than younger surgeons. On the other hand, cystoscopy was performed more commonly by the younger group.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among general gynecologists, there is a wide range in both comfort level for management of different urogynecologic conditions and types of urogynecologic services performed.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/spv.0b013e3182995107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,21]],"date-time":"2013-06-21T12:57:49Z","timestamp":1371819469000},"page":"225-229","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Perceptions and Practice Patterns of General Gynecologists Regarding Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Junchan Joshua","family":"Yune","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sam","family":"Siddighi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-9-20241109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"461","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2003.10.037","article-title":"Costs of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder in the United States: a comparative study","volume":"63","author":"Hu","year":"2004","journal-title":"Urology"},{"key":"R2-9-20241109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1496","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2001.114868","article-title":"The demographics of pelvic floor disorders: current observations and future projections","volume":"184","author":"Luber","year":"2001","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R3-9-20241109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1523","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-008-0677-9","article-title":"Attitudes and perceptions regarding subspecialty training in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery","volume":"19","author":"Siddighi","year":"2008","journal-title":"Int Urogynecol J"},{"key":"R4-9-20241109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"197","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000150578.60931.a6","article-title":"Training the gynecologic surgeon","volume":"105","author":"Rogers","year":"2005","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R5-9-20241109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"630","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.127.2.630","article-title":"Attitudes and perceptions of internal medicine residents regarding pulmonary and critical care subspecialty training","volume":"127","author":"Lorin","year":"2005","journal-title":"Chest"},{"key":"R6-9-20241109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"507","DOI":"10.1097\/00001888-200505000-00021","article-title":"Career plans for trainees in internal medicine residency programs","volume":"80","author":"Garibaldi","year":"2005","journal-title":"Acad Med"},{"key":"R7-9-20241109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"628","DOI":"10.1097\/00001888-200106000-00015","article-title":"Effects of perceptions and mentorship on pursuing a career in academic medicine in obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"76","author":"Cain","year":"2001","journal-title":"Acad Med"},{"key":"R9-9-20241109","first-page":"S23","article-title":"Oral poster 24, practice patterns amongst obstetricians\/gynecologists regarding participation in urogynecologic procedures: a national survey","volume":"18","author":"Estanol","year":"2012","journal-title":"Female Pelvic Med Reconstr Surg"}],"container-title":["Female Pelvic Medicine &amp; Reconstructive Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/01436319-201307000-00009","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,9]],"date-time":"2024-11-09T18:00:13Z","timestamp":1731175213000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/01436319-201307000-00009"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,7]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/spv.0b013e3182995107","relation":{},"ISSN":["2151-8378"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2151-8378","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,7]]}}}
