Objective The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of performing retropubic mid-urethral transvaginal tape (TVT) with self-tailored ordinary polypropylene mesh (STOM) under sedation and local anesthesia in female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The second objective was to evaluate perioperative and immediate postoperative complications, success rates, and cost-effectivity. Materials and methods Forty-two subjects treated for stress urinary incontinence using STOM under local anesthesia were reviewed.

Also, patient-related factors, such as uncontrolled diabetes, local surgery with extensive tissue loss, prior history of radiation, poor nutritional status and presence of any distal obstruction in the urethra severely affect the outcomes of a good repair with vascularised flap. We report two cases of UCF repair in adults using scrotal and gracilis muscle flaps (GMFs), their anatomic basis, technicality and advantages.

Materials And Methods: Data of 34 patients (males = 23, females = 11) from 2009 to 2020 who underwent radical nephrectomy with thrombectomy for RCC and VTT was retrospectively analysed. The parameters recorded include tumour laterality, size, level of thrombus, surgical approach, blood loss, transfusion rates, operative time, hospital stay, Clavien complications, tumour histology, follow-up duration, local recurrence, distant metastasis, overall and cancer-specific survival rates.
