Anterior/Apical single incision mesh (Elevate™): Surgical experience, anatomical and functional results, and long-term complications.

Objective: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition among post-menopausal women, and surgery is often the standard treatment proposed. Native tissue vaginal surgery is burdened by a high rate of recurrence, and mesh vaginal surgery has become current practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of the vaginal kit Anterior/Apical single incision mesh Elevate™ for the correction of anterior and apical compartment prolapse.

Primary ectocervical epithelial cells display lower permissivity to Chlamydia trachomatis than HeLa cells and a globally higher pro-inflammatory profile.

The tumoral origin and extensive passaging of HeLa cells, a most commonly used cervical epithelial cell line, raise concerns on their suitability to study the cell responses to infection. The present study was designed to isolate primary epithelial cells from human ectocervix explants and characterize their susceptibility to C. trachomatis infection.

Comparison of different surgical techniques for pelvic floor repair in elderly women: a multi-institutional study.

Purpose: The prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is increasing. The number of women aged 70-80 years requiring surgical management for POP is also increasing. The purpose of this study was to compare the complications associated with three pelvic organ prolapse repair methods, sacrocolpopexy (SCP), native tissue repair (NTR), and vaginal mesh repair (VMR), in women aged 70-80 years.

Descending Perineum Associated With Pelvic Organ Prolapse Treated by Sacral Colpoperineopexy and Retrorectal Mesh Fixation: Preliminary Results.

Descending Perineum Syndrome (DPS) is a coloproctologic disease and the best treatment for it is yet to be defined. DPS is frequently associated with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and it is reasonable to postulate, that treatment of POP will also have an impact on DPS. We aimed to evaluate the subjective satisfaction and improvement of DPS for patients who have undergone a sacral colpoperineopexy associated with retrorectal mesh for concomitant POP.

Transvaginal treatment of anterior and apical genital prolapses using an Ultra lightweight mesh: Restorelle Direct Fix™. A retrospective study on feasibility and morbidity.

Background: Vaginal mesh safety information is limited, especially concerning single incision techniques using ultra lightweight meshes for the treatment of anterior pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Objective: To determine the intraoperative and postoperative complication rates after anterior POP repair involving an ultralight mesh (19g/m): Restorelle Direct Fix™.

Methods: A case series of 218 consecutive patients, operated on between January 2013 and December 2016 in ten tertiary and secondary care centres, was retrospectively analyzed.

Outcome of patients with incomplete resection after surgery for stage IB2/II cervical carcinoma with chemoradiation therapy.

Objective: Standard treatment of stage IB2/II cervical carcinoma is chemoradiation therapy. Residual disease is evaluated clinically and by magnetic resonance imaging. The place of surgery after this treatment is debated, except when there is suspicion of residual disease.

[Classification and morbidity of debulking surgery for advanced ovarian cancer].

Postoperative residual disease is a major predicting factor in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. The goal of the surgery is now well known. It is to eradicate all macroscopic tumor.

[Margin status in ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast].

For women with ductal carcinoma in situ, no residual disease after breast conserving surgery is one of the most important factors associated with local recurrence. Surgeons can rely on the pathologic examination of the margin and measure of margins width to indicate complete excision. Surgeon and pathologist have to do well and together to make margin can be assessed.

Accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging in predicting residual disease in patients treated for stage IB2/II cervical carcinoma with chemoradiation therapy : correlation of radiologic findings with surgicopathologic results.

Background: The evaluation of residual disease (RD) after chemoradiation therapy (CRT) in stage IB2/II cervical carcinoma conventionally is based on a clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed 3 to 8 weeks after the end of treatment. Very few studies have correlated MRI and histologic findings specifically in cervix cancer. This was the objective of the current study.

[Stress urinary incontinence and suburetral slings. Implications for sexuality].

The impact of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is not limited to physical and psychological consequences classically evaluated for this disease. In fact, some studies emphasize the indisputable existence of sexual disorders directly imputable to SUI. Sexual function is an important evaluation element before and after surgical treatment of SUI.
