Objective: To describe four additional cases of adult inguinal bladder hernia.
Methods: From 1986 to 1998, four cases of bladder inguinal herniation were diagnosed at our services. The etiology, diagnosis, treatment, associated conditions and complications are presented.
Results: Two cases had resulted from benign prostatic hyperplasia; one underwent TUR and the other was treated with alpha-blockers. The remaining two cases were due to prostatic carcinoma and were treated with hormone therapy. The bladder hernia was surgically repaired in three cases; the last patient refused surgery.
Conclusions: A bladder hernia that is incidentally discovered during herniorrhaphy can be resolved without difficulty. However, problems may arise when an unsuspected bladder hernia is undetected due to preoperative bladder emptying and is included in the sutures of herniorrhaphy. When important bladder hernias are diagnosed preoperatively, surgical resolution is always indicated, as well as treatment by surgery or drugs of the urinary obstruction that contributed to the condition.

Background: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is a treatment option for a wide range of rectal lesions. Postoperative urinary retention is a frequently associated complication. Some studies have suggested that the use of alpha-1-blockers may reduce the risk of postoperative urinary retention after hernia and colorectal surgery, but evidence is lacking.

Abdominal wall repair in adults with bladder exstrophy is challenging. We present a case of a 46-year-old woman with bladder exstrophy presenting with a large midline incisional hernia associated with a 13-cm hypoplasia of both pubic rami that precluded fixation of any abdominal mesh. A two-stage approach was adopted.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To investigate the mid-term outcomes of transvaginal repair for moderate-severe cystocele using autologous fascia lata harvested through a single small incision.
Methods: Between February and October 2022, 35 patients with moderate to severe cystocele undergoing transvaginal repair with autologous fascia lata were included. Patient demographics and perioperative data were collected, with follow-ups through outpatient visits or phone calls.

Background: Vaginal pessaries are a common method of managing pelvic organ prolapse (POP), as well as different types of urinary incontinence, allowing patients to successfully improve overall quality of life. Yet despite their positive attributes, there are several reasons why patients may choose to discontinue using pessaries and proceed with surgery to treat their condition instead. This study aimed to explore patients' experiences of pessary use in treating POP.

Background: Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is the standard treatment for locally advanced distal rectal cancer (LADRC) following neoadjuvant treatment when sphincter-preserving procedures are inapplicable. However, complications such as perineal site infection, perineal hernia and postoperative ileus remain ongoing challenges. We aimed to compare the rate of postoperative ileus due to pelvic incarceration in APR patients with/without pelvic inlet closure.
