Background: Although infrequently described, massive ascites due to malignancy contributes to symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse.
Case: A 73-year-old woman with recurrent ovarian cancer and massive ascites underwent a levatorplasty for repair of posterior prolapse after failing conservative management.
Conclusions: Management of patient with cancer with prolapse is complex. Patients with cancer with ascites also have pelvic organ prolapse, in addition to other, better described sequelae of increased intra-abdominal pressure. These patients should be treated specifically for prolapse, with therapy, including type of surgery, chosen with special consideration of their underlying disease.

Importance: The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stages do not correlate with symptoms or characterize important prolapse subtypes.
Objectives: We hypothesize that clinically meaningful prolapse "phenotypes" utilizing POP-Q measurements can be defined. The primary aim was to define the phenotypes and their frequency.

A novel modification of the cutback procedure, a posterior rectal advancement anoplasty (PRAA) for select male patients with an anorectal malformation and a rectoperineal fistula was recently described which incised only within the limits of the sphincteric ellipse and eliminated an anterior rectal dissection, thus avoiding any possibility of a urethral injury. This report provides longer term postoperative outcomes after PRAA. Method A retrospective, single institution study was performed examining male patients with a rectoperineal fistula between 1/2020-12/2023.
