A case of anterior sacral meningocele in a 6-year-old girl is reported. The laminotomies of L5, S1, and S2 vertebrae were performed through a median posterior approach. The communication between the subarachnoid space and the meningocele was closed using dural fibrin patch, which has not yet been described in the literature. The relevant literature is reviewed.

Introduction Degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) is a degenerative condition characterized by subluxation of one vertebral body anterior to the adjacent inferior vertebral body with an intact pars. Conservative treatment approaches, such as steroid injections and physical therapy, may work well at first, but in resistant situations, surgery is frequently necessary. Posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) has been widely used, but transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) offers theoretical advantages such as improved alignment and enhanced fusion rates.

Describing Sacrocolpopexy in Medical Literature: A Proposed Surgical Classification System.
JSLS
January 2025
Western New York Urology Associates, Cheektowaga, New York, USA. (Dr. Eddib).
Background: Sacrocolpopexy has become a favored treatment of pelvic organ prolapse due to its durability and efficacy. Sacrocolpopexy has not been standardized and there is no categorization scheme to facilitate communication or research efforts for the procedure. A systematic review was conducted to facilitate construction of a classification system for sacrocolpopexy based on extent of vaginal dissection described in the medical literature.

Aging + Cardiovascular Discovery Center, Department of Biomedical Education and Data Science, Lewis Katz School of Medicine of Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19140, USA.
We have demonstrated in human cadavers and canines that nerve transfer to bladder vesical nerve branches is technically feasible for bladder reinnervation after nerve injury. We further clarify here that sacral (S) ventral rami contribute to these vesical branches in 36 pelvic sides (in 22 human cadavers). Gross post-mortem visualization and open anterior abdominal approaches were used, as was micro-CT of sacral nerve bundles, for further confirmation when needed.
