Treatment of vaginal vault prolapse with abdominal sacral colpopexy using prolene mesh.

Background: We report our experience of abdominal sacral colpopexy (ASC) with a prolene mesh in women with total vaginal vault prolapse.

Materials And Methods: From 1994 to 1997, 15 patients (average age 57 years), underwent ASC. All the patients suffered from a serious vaginal vault prolapse.

[Hematuria of appendiceal etiology].

We report our experience on a case of acute appendicitis which presented with gross hematuria; manifestations of acute appendicitis sometimes can mimics various disorders of the genitourinary tract as reported by data of several authors. Thus, the "pelvic" position of the appendix and its proximity to surrounding structures of the genitourinary tract, mainly the bladder, appears to determine the associated symptoms and signs. We should not forget that only half of appendicitis occurs with "classic" symptoms.
