[Transvaginal mesh in repair of pelvic organs prolapse as a minimally invasive surgical procedure].

Background/aim: Prolapse of genital organs with or without urinary stress incontinention is the most often health problem in the elderly female population tending to increase with ageing. The aim of this study was to assess the perioperative complications and short-term outcomes of prolaps repair using transvaginal polypropylene mesh (Prolift system, Gynecare, Ethicon, USA).

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted evaluating 96 women from September 2006 to January 2010 who underwent vaginal repair with implatation of a soft mesh manufactured by Gynecare, Ethicon, USA.

Atypical proliferating mucinous tumors of gigantic dimensions.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND; Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (LMP) are also known as atypically proliferating tumors. Ovarian tumors of LPM account for approximately 15% of all epithelial ovarian cancers. Mean age of occurrence is 40 years and they are 15-20 cm in diameter.

[Extremely rapid development of transurethral resection of the prostate syndrome].

Background: The transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome is reported after ureteroscopic procedures with irrigating solutions. TURP syndrome may occur quickly or up to 24 hours postoperatively. TURP syndrome affects many systems and manifests itself mainly through acute changes in intravascular volume and plasma solute concentrations.

[Novel surgical procedure for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence by using transobturator vaginal tape].

Introduction/aim: Current method in the treatment of female urinary incontinence implies the placement of tension-free suburethral vaginal tape, using a retropubic or transobturator approach. Considering numerous complications related to retropubic approach, we reported the results of transobturator procedure in prospective study.

Methods: We used a non-absorbable polypropylene tape with the outside-in (Herniamesh) or in-outside (Johnson & Johnson) transobturator approach.

[Application of transvaginal sacrospinous colpopexy in the treatment of pelvic organs prolapse].

Introduction: The incidence of uterovaginal and vaginal vault prolapse appears to be higher due to the increased longevity of women. Sacrospinous ligament colpopexy is a surgery procedure which suspends the vagina up to the sacrospinous ligament and brings upper vagina over the levator plate. This technique is very useful for the primary treatment of uterovaginal prolapse in young women who want to preserve their fertility.
