Study Objective: To analyze the objective outcome of laparoscopic supralevator repair in the treatment of rectoenterocele with the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POPQ) system.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study 1999-2009 (Canadian Taskforce Classification II-2).
Setting: University hospital in South Australia.
Patients: A total of 166 women with a median age of 63 years (range 36-89) who underwent laparoscopic supralevator repair for rectoenterocele and treatment of associated conditions over a 10-year period.
Interventions: All patients were assessed with the POPQ scoring system before surgery and at 6 weeks, 6 months, annually, and biannually after surgery.
Measurements And Main Results: The median operating time was 151 minutes (range 35-390); median blood loss was 50 mL (range 50-600); and median hospital stay was 4 days (range 1-14). Four women, 2 of whom required laparotomy, had a major complication. Ten women (6%) needed day surgery to treat vaginal granulations or suture exposure. With a median follow-up time of 45 months (interquartile range 16-67) the overall objective success rate was 63% according to National Institute of Health criteria. The median time to failure was 24 months. Of 61 objective failures, 23 required further prolapse surgery, representing a 14% reoperation rate.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic supralevator repair is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of rectoenterocele.

Pelvic carcinosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy with significant diagnostic and management hurdles due to its complex vascularity and potential for extensive local invasion. A 59-year-old female presented with severe abdominal pain and significant weight loss, leading to the discovery of a large, complex pelvic mass through CT scans, MRI, and PET CT, suggesting aggressive malignancy. Initial management included a robotic laparoscopic proximal sigmoid loop colostomy to alleviate obstruction.

Laparoscopic posterior exenteration (total and supralevator) is a complex and rarely done procedure. In this study we describe the surgical technique and short-term perioperative outcomes in 7 female patients of locally advanced carcinoma rectum operated with laparoscopic pelvic exenteration. We report 7 cases of carcinoma rectum involving either posterior wall of the uterus or vagina, which were operated with a laparoscopic procedure.
