Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the autologous fascia rectus sling in treating female stress urinary incontinence.
Methods: A total of 264 patients treated during a 3-year period for SUI using the autologous fascia rectus sling were retrospectively reviewed. Efficacy was evaluated by the number of pads used daily. Patient satisfaction and correlations between the preoperative parameters and outcome were assessed.
Results: The mean follow-up time was 27.8 months. Of the 264 patients, 224 (85%) were successfully treated and satisfied with the outcome of the operation. Of the 224 patients, 200 (75.8%) were totally dry and 24 (9.1%) had improved markedly. The complication rate was 29.2%, with postoperative urgency the most common problem (49 of 264, 18.5%). None of the preoperative parameters were associated with the final outcome.
Conclusion: The free autologous rectus fascia sling is a highly effective technique for the treatment of female stress incontinence with mild morbidity.

Background: Nerve wraps composed of various autologous and bioengineered materials have been used to bolster nerve repair sites. In this study, we describe the novel use of autologous fascia nerve wraps (AFNW) as an adjunct to epineurial repair and evaluate their effect on inflammatory cytokine expression, intraneural collagen deposition and end-organ reinnervation in rats and use of AFNW in a patient case series.
Methods: Lewis rats received sciatic transection with repair either with or without AFNW, sciatic-to-common peroneal nerve transfer with or without AFNW, or sham surgery (n=14/group).

Introduction And Hypothesis: To investigate the mid-term outcomes of transvaginal repair for moderate-severe cystocele using autologous fascia lata harvested through a single small incision.
Methods: Between February and October 2022, 35 patients with moderate to severe cystocele undergoing transvaginal repair with autologous fascia lata were included. Patient demographics and perioperative data were collected, with follow-ups through outpatient visits or phone calls.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Autologous fascia lata has been increasingly utilised in pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. This case highlights sacrohysteropexy with autologous fascia lata as a promising option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus and avoid synthetic mesh.
Methods: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse following one forceps and one spontaneous vaginal delivery.

To evaluate the repair protocols for intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks after endoscopic endonasal clival malignancy resection (EECR) and to analyze the risk factors of surgical complication. The clinical data of patients who underwent EECR and had intraoperative CSF leaks in XuanWu Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 2012 and January 2024 were reviewed. The pathological results, imaging data, location of the dural defect, degree of intraoperative CSF leaks, repair materials, complications such as postoperative central nervous system (CNS) infections, types of antibiotics used, bacterial culture and drug sensitivity results, secondary repair, and follow-up results were collected.

Simultaneous reconstruction after removal of nasal silicone implants was published as diced, autologous rib and ear auricular cartilages, and each had their shortcomings. Temporoparietal fascial grafts were used for facial and nasal contouring, vascularized tissue coverage, and augmentation the nose, lip. The temporoparietal fascia graft may be considered for in-time replacement of allografts and remaining bulkiness.
