Introduction And Hypothesis: To our knowledge a study regarding the efficacy of Pelvisoft® Biomesh for cystocele repair has not previously been reported in the literature. The aim of our study was to assess the long-term efficacy, subjective outcomes and complications in the use of a non-synthetic porcine skin mesh graft (Pelvisoft® Biomesh) associated with transvaginal anterior colporrhaphy in the treatment of cystocele prolapse.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed at a single centre. Thirty-three women aged 35-77 years underwent cystocele repair using Pelvisoft® graft between December 2005 and June 2009. Twenty-nine women who underwent transvaginal cystocele repair with Pelvisoft® Biomesh for over a 2 years period were assessed. Four patients were lost to follow-up. Cystocele repair was performed via the vaginal route using Pelvisoft® Biomesh implant by inserting it in the anterior vaginal wall.

Results: The median follow-up time was 54.0 months. The rate of recurrence was 17.3%. A total of 6.9% of patients presented early mesh exposure treated by conservative treatment. The mean PFDI-20 score was 72.2. Among sexually active women, the mean PISQ 12 was 33.9 but 56.2% had dyspareunia. After surgery, 6 patients had de novo intercourse.

Conclusions: Our results show that the use of Pelvisoft® biomaterial associated with anterior colporrhaphy for cystocele repair appears to be safe with acceptable failure and complication rates at long term. Nevertheless, an adverse impact on sexual function was reported by the majority of patients.

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.

This case report describes a rare and complex instance of urinary bladder herniation into the scrotal sac, complicated by intrascrotal perforation. This condition, primarily seen in elderly, obese men, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The patient, an 83-year-old man with a history of obesity and chronic lower urinary tract symptoms, presented with acute scrotal pain and swelling.

Inguinal bladder hernia, also known as scrotal cystocele, first described by Dr. Levine, is considered among the rare cases that may or may not present as scrotal swelling depending on the size of the herniated part. In this particular patient, he presented with scrotal swelling and symptoms related to difficulties in micturition, such as incomplete voiding and increased frequency of voiding urine.

Royal Brisbane and Women's and Wesley Hospitals, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is an established surgical procedure for apical vaginal vault prolapse. There remains significant variation amongst surgeons in both the surgical steps and concomitant surgeries utilised when undertaking an SCP.

Methods: This review article is aimed at summarising the evidence and providing a detailed update of SCP in modern practice, reviewing contemporary evidence behind its indications, efficacy, outcomes, surgical steps, and complications.

Background: Recently, natural tissue repair has become popular in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapsed. In this study, we compared patients who underwent cystocele repair with the rug-weaving plication technique, a natural tissue repair method implemented since 2022 for anterior prolapse, with those treated using conventional colporrhaphy.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 65 patients who underwent anterior vaginal wall repair with the rug-weaving plication technique (n = 33, Group 1) or conventional colporrhaphy (n = 32, Group 2).
