Vaginal hysterectomy may at times prove difficult and require laparoscopic assistance to ensure safety of operations. This article reports a case in which single port laparoscopic assistance enabled vaginal hysterectomy in a patient with severe uterine ventrofixation. The use of an innovative device and tips to be applied are described.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) during minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for treating uterovaginal prolapse.
- Results showed no significant difference in overall recurrence of prolapse between the two methods, but TLH had lower odds of recurrence in multivariable analysis.
- TLH had a higher proportion of mesh exposures with lightweight mesh, but this finding wasn't significant after adjusting for other factors.
Objective: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a pathological communication between the urinary bladder and the vagina. The most common cause of VVF is hysterectomy, while less common causes include obstetric trauma and pelvic surgery. Most cases require surgical intervention.

Introduction And Clinical Importance: Placenta previa (PP) is characterized by abnormal placental placement in the lower uterine segment, obstructing the cervical opening. Placenta previa totalis (PPT) occurs when the placenta completely covers the internal cervical os. This condition can lead to placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), where the placenta adheres abnormally to the uterine wall, complicating separation.
