Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of posterior intra-vaginal slingplasty (IVS) in the re-construction surgery of pelvic floor.
Methods: Eleven patients with vault prolapse and severe prolapse of uterus undergoing posterior IVS were prospectively studied.
Results: Average operation time was 55 min. Average blood loss was 86 ml. Average hospitalization time was 5.6 d. No severe complications occurred. According to subjective assessment of the outcome, all patients were cured.
Conclusion: Posterior IVS is a minimally invasive, effective and safety surgery for re-construction of pelvic floor.

Lack of association between the length of anogenital distance and vaginal pH in women with endometriosis.
J Obstet Gynaecol Res
December 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to determine if there is a connection between anogenital distance (AGD) and vaginal pH levels in women with endometriosis.
- A cohort of 107 women, both with and without endometriosis, was analyzed regarding AGD measurements and vaginal pH during surgical procedures from July 2021 to June 2022.
- The results showed no significant difference in AGD across groups, but vaginal pH levels differed significantly, suggesting women with endometriosis are less likely to have an alkaline pH; however, AGD was not a reliable predictor for endometriosis.
Primary malignant melanoma of the vagina: A case report.

Article Synopsis
- Malignant primary melanoma of the vagina (PMV) is a rare and aggressive cancer predominantly found in postmenopausal women, characterized by a poor prognosis and a lack of consensus on optimal treatment.
- A case is presented involving a 68-year-old woman with PMV who experienced symptoms like vaginal pain and bleeding; various surgical interventions were undertaken after imaging revealed a significant vaginal lesion without distant metastasis.
- Despite initial surgical management, the patient's cancer recurred within four months, leading her to choose palliative care, prompting a discussion on treatment options including surgery and potential immunotherapy for PMV.
A pilot study to evaluate changes in pelvic floor muscle tone following pelvic organ prolapse surgery using a novel intra-vaginal pressure sensor device.

Department of Urogynaecology, The Jessop Wing, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Tree Root Walk, Sheffield, S10 2SF, UK.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic floor muscle weakness is a common cause of pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. Surgical repair of prolapse is commonly undertaken; however, the impact on pelvic floor muscle tone is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of anterior and posterior colporrhaphy on pelvic floor activation.

Introduction: In cases of sexual assault, the finding of semen can provide crucial evidence. The presence of spermatozoa serves as proof of a sexual act and may give the identity of the alleged perpetrator through DNA-profiling. In most western countries, there are guidelines for standardized examinations of sexual assault victims.

Objectives: To prospectively investigate diagnostic value and tolerability of MRI after intra-vaginal gel opacification for diagnosis and preoperative assessment of deeply infiltrating endometriosis.
Methods: Sixty-three women with clinical suspicion of deeply infiltrating endometriosis were previously examined with trans-vaginal ultrasonography and then with MRI pre and post administration of vaginal gel. We evaluated the tolerability of this procedure with a scoring scale from 0 to 3.
