Total Autologous Fascia Lata Sacrocolpopexy for Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Experience in Thirty-Four Patients.

Objective: To develop a technique for open/robotic sacrocolpopexy using autologous fascia lata autograft. We report our experience in our first 34 patients.

Methods: The operation utilizes a 4-5-cm x 15-18-cm piece of fascia lata harvested through a 3-4-inch lateral upper thigh incision.

Primary Malignant Melanoma of the Bladder Treated by Robotic Partial Cystectomy and Immunotherapy.

Primary malignant melanoma (PMM) of the urinary tract is a rare entity, with only 28 cases reported in the literature. We present an interesting case of a 27-year-old Caucasian woman, with family history of melanoma, who initially presented with gross hematuria, and was subsequently found to have PMM of the bladder. Initially diagnosis was made through transurethral resection of the bladder tumor with clinical suspicion of residual disease in the patient.

Total Autologous Fascia Lata Anterior and Apical Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair: A New Technique and Initial Experience.

Objective: To address renewed interest in nonmesh transvaginal Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) repair since the FDA reclassification of transvaginal mesh, our goal was to develop a transvaginal sacrospinous fixation for anterior and apical POP using only autologous fascia lata. We report our experience in 33 patients.

Methods: Autologous Anterior and Apical Pelvic Organ Prolapse (AAA-POP) repair utilizes a 4 × 14 cm piece of fascia lata harvested through a 3-4-inch upper thigh incision.

Pelvic Hematoma Following UroLift procedure for BPH.

We present an interesting complication following the UroLift procedure: the development of a pelvic hematoma. This patient presented to the emergency department with pelvic pain, penile ecchymosis, and edema on postoperative day 4 following his UroLift procedure. A computed tomography scan revealed that his symptoms were due to the formation of a large pelvic hematoma.
