Pelvic organ prolapse repair with mesh remains the gold standard for advanced prolapse. There are several surgical approaches available to the pelvic reconstructive surgeon. Prolapse repair can be performed vaginally or abdominally using native tissue or may be augmented with a biologic or mesh patch. In this article, we will review the different approaches to prolapse repair, the role of mesh, and the risks and benefits of each option. Patient selection, surgical technique, and the rationale for using mesh will be explored. Complications from prolapse repair with mesh including dyspareunia, pelvic pain, mesh exposure, and reoperation will be discussed.

Importance: Women aged 90 years and older ("oldest-old") represent a small but growing population who may experience bothersome pelvic organ prolapse and opt for surgical repair.
Objective: This study aimed to compare perioperative adverse events (AEs) within 8 weeks of prolapse surgery between women ≥90 years and younger patients.
Study Design: We performed a secondary analysis of a dual-center retrospective cohort study of women ≥61 years old undergoing major prolapse surgery from January 2016 to May 2023.
Anorectal malformation with rectoperineal fistula in males treated with a posterior rectal advancement anoplasty (PRAA) - report of early outcomes.

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.

In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that prolapse development is strongly associated with pelvic hiatus (GH) size (normal 4.5 +/- 0.

A 53-year-old male individual with chronic severe mitral regurgitation presented with biventricular dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography demonstrated a posterior leaflet prolapse with malcoaptation. Mitral valve repair and Maze procedure were performed, revealing absent chordae and direct connection from the anterolateral papillary muscle to the posterior leaflet, consistent with partial mitral arcade.

For adults, the standard procedure for mitral valve repair of Carpentier classification type II mitral regurgitation is reconstruction with artificial chordae. In children, placement of artificial chordae of precise length between the papillary muscle and prolapsed mitral leaflet in the restricted mitral subvalvular space is technically difficult. We successfully performed mitral valve repair in 3 pediatric patients using a modified fixed loop-in-loop technique.
