Objective: The assessment of relationship between pubocervical collagen content and clinical results of surgical treatment of genuine stress urinary incontinence (GSUI) in women.
Methods: Twenty-four women treated for genuine stress urinary incontinence were included into the study. All women underwent the same surgical procedure. The samples of pubocervical fascia were taken at the time of surgery. The contents of acid soluble, pepsin soluble, insoluble fraction of collagen, total collagen and collagen crosslinks were measured. The study of pubocervical fascia collagen metabolism included also estimation of collagenase activity. At follow-up done 5 years following surgery, 20 patients reported symptoms of GSUI (study group). Four women were still without symptoms of urine leakage (control group).
Results: The biochemical parameters of pubocervical fascia did not show, statistically significant differences between compared groups.
Conclusion: The pubocervical fascia collagen metabolism does not have impact on the results of anti-incontinence surgery.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is prevalent among women, often occurring alongside anterior vaginal wall prolapse. This study compares the efficacy and safety of an improved vaginal wall repair technique with pubocervical fascia fixation versus standard anterior colporrhaphy for treating SUI in women with anterior vaginal wall prolapse.
Methods: A single-centre, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial was conducted between September 2021 and June 2024.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Anterior sacrospinous hysteropexy (SSH) was popularized by transvaginal mesh kits. Following mesh-kit market withdrawal, we hypothesized similar efficacy through native-tissue reattachment of the pubocervical fascia with fixation of the anterior cervix to the sacrospinous ligament. Few analyses for anterior native-tissue versus mesh-augmented SSH exist.

Objective: Pericervical ring reconstruction through restoration of pubocervical and rectovaginal fascia is performed concomitantly with sacrospinous hysteropexy as a transvaginal native tissue procedure for vaginal apical prolapse. The main goal of this study was to assess subjective and objective outcomes of sacrospinous hysteropexy and additional pericervical ring reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective and observational study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to describe a novel mesh-free pelvic repair surgery for apical prolapse and to evaluate the effect of this technique and early outcomes.
Methods: We demonstrate the key techniques in a video: exposing the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) of the presacral space; securing a non-absorbable suture to the ALL by horoscope stitch; shortening the right uterosacral ligament (USL); placing a non-absorbable suture around the intermediate portion of the left USL for three stitches; placing the non-absorbable suture in the transverse portion of the pubocervical and rectovaginal fascia; locking sutures in place to approximate anterior to posterior connective tissue. Fifteen patients were enrolled to undergo this procedure between December 2020 and April 2021.
