The goals of this study were to describe the surgical procedure of the transverse cystocele repair with uterine preservation using native tissue and to examine the surgical complications and short-term anatomical outcomes of this operation. Patients who underwent transverse cystocele repair with uterine preservation at our institution were identified by retrospective chart review for the interval from January 2001 to September 2006. Sixty-nine patients were identified. Median point for first postoperative visit was 6.1 weeks (range 3-101 weeks). Average age was 66.6 +/- 13.1 years (range 33-89). Patients undergoing this procedure had no intraoperative complications and high frequency of initial anatomic success (defined as Baden-Walker halfway system grade 0 or 1 for anterior compartment) during a relatively short follow-up interval. Preoperatively, bladder grade averaged 2.6 with postoperative grade averaging 0.02. Based on our initial anatomical findings, we conclude that this surgical approach has merit for a subset of patients with adequate uterine support.

Wide-bore polyester sutures may create sufficient collagen for cure of prolapse/incontinence: a work in progress.
Ann Transl Med

University of Campinas, School of Medical Sciences, São Paulo, Brazil.
The main thrust of the Integral Theory Paradigm (ITP) is that inadequate ligament collagen causes pelvic organ prolapses (POP) and pelvic symptoms, a concept validated by multiple publications which cured POP and bladder/bowel/pain dysfunctions by collagen-creating slings. Sling surgery for surgical cure of these conditions was eliminated in the United States, Europe and other regulatory jurisdictions by banning all mesh products (including tapes) in about 2017. The aim of this work was to inform of the progress of a highly promising alternative method for collage creation for ligament repair: wide-bore polyester sutures accurately applied to weak ligaments.

The Integral Theory Paradigm (ITP) has a 25-year track record of successfully treating bladder/bowel/pain symptoms caused by laxity in specific ligaments, even when the prolapse is minimal. The ITP-based treatment involves ligament support and can be nonsurgical or daycare surgical. An accurate diagnostic protocol is required.

Although it is known that hysterectomy (HY) alone cannot resolve apical prolapse, vaginal hysterectomy (VH) remains the most common surgical procedure for this issue. In recent years, various procedures for uterine conservation have been proposed to avoid the surgical risks of HY. Furthermore, most women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP) prefer uterine conservation in the absence of considerable benefit in uterine removal.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of vaginal native tissue repair and uterine suspension after a follow-up of at least 1 year.
Methods: We included all consecutive women with an anterior vaginal prolapse of stage II or higher and a concomitant uterine prolapse of stage II who underwent this surgical procedure. We considered women with a descensus with maximum point of less than -1 in any compartment as objectively cured.
