Objective: To enhance the modified laparoscopic Vecchietti procedure.
Materials And Methods: A case series of five women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia underwent the modified laparoscopic Vecchietti procedure with intraperitoneal placement of sutures. This involved perforation of the vaginal dimple by a straight thread guide with two threads attached to the olive followed by pulling the two threads intra-peritoneally and through the abdominal wall to the traction device by grasping instruments under laparoscopic control.
Results: Intraperitoneal placement of the sutures was easily done without complications in all five women. The operative time was 50 ± 10 (mean ± SD) minutes. After five postoperative days, the average vaginal length was seven to 7.5 cm. Two women were able to have vaginal intercourse without problems. After six months to one year of follow up, the vaginal length was at least ten cm and no postoperative complications occurred.
Conclusions: Intraperitoneal placement of sutures makes the modified laparoscopic Vecchietti procedure easy and appealing. Furthermore, it avoids potential damage to the vital structures at the pelvic side walls.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery has evolved toward minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy (LSHP) is associated with reduced morbidity and lower mesh exposure risks. This study evaluates the long-term outcomes of LSHP using the SERATEX SlimSling mesh for isolated uterine prolapse.

Objective: The pyeloureteral anastomosis remains the most challenging part of pyeloplasty. A purpose-built anastomotic device could simplify this step and potentially improve outcomes. The concept of a pyeloureteral magnetic anastomosis device (PUMA) was proven in minipigs, but only in short term.

Background: Orthotopic murine models of pancreatic cancer represent an important tool for evaluating treatment strategies. Several genetically modified mouse tumors and xenograft models have been reported. Genetic models have unpredictable growth and variable waiting period, while orthotopic models are operative ones, difficult to create and result in irregular metastasis.

Purpose: To examine the ramifications of both the modified and traditional subcostal anterior quadratus lumborum block (SQLB) on postoperative analgesia in individuals undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy.
Methods: Forty-six individuals slated for elective laparoscopic nephrectomy under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to acquire either traditional or modified SQLB using 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine.
