In developed nations, vesicovaginal fistulas are most commonly encountered as a complication after gynecologic surgery. Most fistulas are corrected using a transvaginal approach; however, complicated cases often require intraabdominal repair. A novel abdominal approach is described, using a small anterior cystotomy and omental pedicle interposition.

Transverse versus Vertical Incision in the Surgical Management of Placenta Accreta Spectrum.
Am J Perinatol
December 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Columbia University, New York, New York.
Objectives: Traditionally, midline vertical skin incisions have been utilized during surgery for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), as it is considered to maximize exposure and allow for a uterine incision to avoid the placenta. However, literature directly comparing outcomes of vertical versus transverse incisions in PAS is sparse. Our objective was to compare maternal outcomes between patients who underwent a vertical versus a transverse skin incision for PAS.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
Triple treatment therapy for congenital stromal iris cyst.
Indian J Ophthalmol
November 2024
Cornea and External Disease, Cataract and Refractive, Ocular Oncology and Low Vision Services, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- Iris cysts can cause a range of serious eye issues, so their complete removal is crucial to prevent recurrence and improve patient outcomes.
- A new three-step technique was developed for managing iris cysts, which includes aspiration, wall removal, and cauterization while minimizing tissue damage.
- This minimally invasive approach led to fewer complications, no reported recurrences in six months, and overall better visual outcomes compared to more aggressive treatments.
[Severe combined injury of the rectum and bladder in a child].
Khirurgiia (Mosk)
August 2024
Kursk State Medical University, Kursk, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- Traumatic anorectal injuries in children are uncommon, with very few cases documented in medical literature, leading to a lack of standard treatment protocols.
- A case study details the successful surgical management of a 13-year-old boy who suffered combined trauma to his rectum and bladder after falling onto a chair.
- The surgical approach involved repairing the wounds and creating a protective double-barreled sigmostomy, with follow-up showing satisfactory recovery and quality of life, without pain or urinary issues, six months post-surgery.
Intraoperative Complications and Perioperative and Surgical Outcomes of Single-Port Robotics-Assisted Sacrocolpopexy.
Int Urogynecol J
July 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Korea University Guro Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to assess intraoperative and postoperative complication rates, along with perioperative and surgical outcomes, following single-port robotics-assisted sacrocolpopexy.
Methods: This retrospective case series included 200 patients who underwent single-port robotics-assisted sacrocolpopexy to treat Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POPQ) stage 2-4 symptomatic prolapse between April 2020 and August 2023 by a single surgeon. Intraoperative and postoperative complications and perioperative outcomes were evaluated for all the patients, whereas surgical outcomes for 74 patients were assessed at 1-year follow-up.
