Objectives: Paravaginal defects have been shown to account for 60-80% of anterior compartment prolapse and its repair offers the chance of a more effective cure of such defect. There is no good evidence to suggest the superiority of a particular route of paravaginal repair. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of abdominal (APVR), vaginal (VPVR) and laparoscopic (LPVR) approaches in the repair of such defects.
Study Design: This is a prospective comparative study of patients, referred over a 2-year period, with symptomatic stage II–IV anterior compartment prolapse due to paravaginal support defects. Patients were assessed subjectively by direct verbal questioning, and objectively, using POP-Q system for staging, at 1, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Analysis of data was performed using SPSS for Windows (V9) software package.
Results: Forty-five patients were recruited to the study. There was no significant difference in the subjective and objective outcomes of APVR (n = 20) and VPVR (n = 20) groups. The laparoscopic approach had to be abandoned after five patients only, as the degree of improvement in prolapse stage was less than in the other two approaches.
Conclusion: The effectiveness of paravaginal repair procedure is similar whether the abdominal or vaginal approaches were adopted in patients with anterior compartment prolapse due to paravaginal support defects. In our experience, the laparoscopic approach was associated with the least favourable outcome.

Anterior Colporrhaphy and Paravaginal Repair for Anterior Compartment Prolapse: A Review.

Article Synopsis
- * Two key surgical techniques for treating anterior vaginal wall prolapse are anterior colporrhaphy, which tightens weakened tissues, and paravaginal repair, which reattaches the vaginal wall to its supportive structures.
- * The review compares these methods in terms of effectiveness, recurrence rates, and complications, suggesting that while anterior colporrhaphy is prevalent, paravaginal repair may yield better outcomes for lateral defects and discussing advancements like minimally invasive surgery options.
MRI-Based Structural Failure Comparison between Chinese and American White Women With Prolapse: A Case-Control Study.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University People's Hospital, No. 11 Xizhimen South St, Beijing, 100044, China.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Although some evidence suggests that Chinese and white women might have different pelvic floor anatomy such as levator complex and connective tissue support for pelvic organs, it is unknown if these differences affect the mechanisms of pelvic organ prolapse. We sought to determine whether differences exist in MRI-based structural failure patterns between Chinese and American white women with prolapse.
Methods: This is a case-control study in different racial cohorts recruited in China and the USA.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare and slow-growing tumor in the pelvic and perineal regions that might develop into other perineal structures. It can present variably, ranging from a painless mass to non-specific symptoms such as dyspareunia. Due to the high relapse rate, extensive tumoral resection is reasonably required to prevent recurrences.

Introduction: Pelvic Organ Prolapse is the descent of one or more of the anterior vaginal wall, posterior vaginal wall, the uterus, or the apex of the vagina. Surgical intervention addresses both anatomical defect and associated symptoms. The landscape of prolapse surgery has been evolving constantly over years.

Objective: Vaginal prolapse is a known complication after radical cystectomy, requiring additional procedures in 10% of the patients. This results from loss of level I and II vaginal support due to the removal of pelvic structures. In addition, a neobladder urinary diversion, with Valsalva voiding, predisposes to vaginal prolapse.
