Background: In recent years the number of reconstructive procedures for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) through robotic surgery has constantly increased. This paper describes the technical aspects of robotic hysteropromontopexy using the da Vinci surgical system.
Methods: Two consecutive 35-year-old patients with POP, who wished to preserve the uterus, underwent hysteropromontopexy by robotic surgery.
Results: Both procedures were performed successfully using a robotic approach. No additional reconstructive procedures were thought to be necessary at the end of surgery. Neither intra- nor post-operative complications occurred. After a follow-up of 18 and 6 months for case 1 and 2, respectively, both patients declared themselves satisfied with the anatomical and functional results achieved.
Conclusions: This procedure represents an effective option for the management of POP in selected women requiring fertility-sparing options.

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks as the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, posing a significant threat to female health. Late-stage diagnoses, driven by elusive symptoms often masquerading as gastrointestinal issues, contribute to a concerning 70% of cases being identified in advanced stages. While early-stage OC brags a 90% cure rate, progression involving pelvic organs or extending beyond the peritoneal cavity drastically diminishes it.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a women's health problem in both developed and developing countries. Various studies have found that the occurrence of POP is related to the supporting structures of the pelvic floor, including type III collagen levels. Most studies reported no correlation between collagen 3 alpha 1 (COL3A1) rs1800255 gene polymorphism and the occurrence of POP.

Background: Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) disorders has been reported to be associated with a maternal mortality rate of 7-10%, worldwide, and many women who survive, experience life changing morbidity. Triple P procedure (- perioperative placental localization and incision on the myometrium above the upper border of the placenta; - pelvic devascularisation; and -placental non-separation and myometrial excision) was developed in 2010 as a novel conservative alternative to peripartum hysterectomy to avoid severe maternal morbidity and mortality). There have been several modifications to the original Triple P Procedure to achieve "pelvic devascularisation" based on locally available resources.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing blood loss and blood transfusion among women undergoing total colpocleisis.
Design: Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
Setting: Tertiary academic urogynecology practice.
The purpose of this study was to understand the molecular phenotypes of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and vaginal fibroblasts (VFBs) and whether pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects their biological properties. We performed RNA sequencing of paired ASCs and VFBs from six patients with POP and six controls (CTRL). The transcriptomes of POP and CTRL in either ASCs or VFBs were compared (DESeq2, false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.
