Reoperation rate and outcomes following the placement of polypropylene mesh by the vaginal route for cystocele: very long-term follow-up.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim was to evaluate the reoperation rate and outcomes in women who underwent transvaginal non-absorbable monofilament polypropylene mesh placement for the treatment of cystocele.

Methods: The retrospective cohort study included 63 patients who underwent transvaginal surgery using a synthetic polypropylene mesh (Gynemesh™) for cystocele. Patients were evaluated using a clinical examination (POP-Q) and validated questionnaires (PGI-I, PFDI-20, PFIQ-7) at 18 years of follow-up (median 18 years [IQR 16-19]).

Maternal outcome after abdominal packing for uncontrolled postpartum hemorrhage despite peripartum hysterectomy.

Background: Intra-abdominal packing is a possible option for persistent bleeding following hysterectomy for postpartum hemorrhage. However, to date, only very limited data about maternal outcome after intra-abdominal packing for surgically uncontrolled hemorrhage following hysterectomy are available. The objective of the current study was to estimate maternal outcome after intra-abdominal packing following unsuccessful peripartum hysterectomy for postpartum hemorrhage.

Outcomes of laparoscopic sacropexy in women over 70: A comparative study.

Objective: Precise data are lacking concerning laparoscopic sacropexy in the elderly population. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes and complications associated with laparoscopic sacropexy (colpopexy or hysteropexy) in women aged under 70 and 70 or over.

Study Design: Retrospective review of data on patients who underwent laparoscopic sacropexy in two tertiary centers.

Surgical treatment: Myomectomy and hysterectomy; Endoscopy: A major advancement.

Uterine fibroids affect 25% of women worldwide. Symptomatic women can be treated by either medical or surgical treatment. Development of endoscopic surgery has widely changed the management of myoma.

[Postpartum pelvic floor disorders].

Postpartum pelvic floor disorders. Postpartum pelvic floor disorders are frequent but most of the time, decrease spontaneously. Even if 40% of pregnant women suffer from urinary incontinence, 85% of them are cured 3 months after delivery.

Bladder injury and success rates following retropubic mid-urethral sling: TVT EXACT™ vs. TVT™.

Objective: Although placement of a retropubic mid-urethral slings (MUS) is one of the gold standard surgical treatments for stress urinary incontinence, new devices are poorly evaluated before marketing. We compared TVT-EXACT™ (TVT-E), a new device expected to reduce bladder injuries, with the historically described bottom-to-top TVT™ (TVT).

Study Design: This retrospective study compared TVT-E (n=49) and TVT (n=49).

Malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis: case report and literature review.

In recent years we have seen an increase in the frequency of cesarean sections. We present a case report of an endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from abdominal wall endometriosis in a patient with a history of cesarean sections and describe its diagnostic and therapeutic management.
