Aim: For the treatment of complex pelvic organ prolapse, many different surgical procedures are described without any comparative studies available. Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy after D'Hoore is one of the methods, which is publicized to treat patients with symptomatic rectocele, enterocele and rectal prolapse.
Method: All patients who received ventral mesh rectopexy since 07/10 for symptomatic rectocele, enterocele and possible rectal prolapse I ° or II ° in terms of a complex pelvic floor disorder were included in this follow-up study. The Wexner score for incontinence was recorded (range 0-20), the constipation score of Herold (r6-30) was evaluated as well as supplementary questions compiled by D'Hoore concerning outlet symptoms (r0-20). In addition, the quality of life (SF-12) was requested.
Results: Thirty-one women were operated in the period, and 27 were eligible to be included in the present study. Median follow-up was 22 months (2-39). The preoperative Wexner score was in median 8 (0-20), going down to 6 (0-20) without significance (p = 0.735). The constipation score decreased significantly from median 14 (9-21) to 11 (6-25) (p = 0.007). The median score after D'Hoore was preoperatively 8 (4-16) and 4.5 (0-17) postoperatively (p = 0.004). The SF-12 values were preoperatively significantly reduced compared to the normal population; postoperatively, they equalized.
Conclusion: Two years after laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy, constipation and quality of life improve significantly in patients with complex pelvic organ prolapse. The grade of incontinence remains essentially the same, but was not the dominant clinical problem in the treated patients of our study.
Statement: The improvement in constipation and quality of life after laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy for obstructive defecation is encouraging. However, the impact on sexual life differs; some patients improve but a relevant number reports a change for the worse.

Is mesh related morbidity the real thread in ventral rectopexy? Results of a retrospective international multicentre comparative analysis of biologic versus synthetic mesh.

Aim: Ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) is an established surgical treatment for rectal prolapse and outlet obstruction. In contrast to continental Europe, in the UK and US the use of synthetic mesh has been abandoned in favour of biologic mesh, due to concerns regarding mesh related morbidity. The current study investigated if either material is superior, in terms of clinical recurrence and mesh related complications.

Introduction: Abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) with ventral hernia repair (VHR) in the setting of contamination poses unique and controversial challenges. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of onlay resorbable biosynthetic mesh against underlay biologic mesh in contaminated VHR with AWR.
Methods: A single-center retrospective review from 2015 to 2021 was performed examining subjects who underwent VHR with AWR in contaminated fields (Centers for Disease Control wound class II-IV).

Open abdomen treatment (OAT) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In cases where primary or delayed fascial closure cannot be achieved, vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction are indicated, which often result in a planned ventral hernia. If secondary skin closure is not feasible, common treatment of granulated abdominal defects involves split-thickness skin-grafting or healing by secondary intention leading to significant scarring and sometimes mutilating defects.

Purpose: To present updated outcomes after previously describing a novel technique for the robotic repair of parastomal hernias.
Methods: Patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair with a robotic Sugarbaker technique at a tertiary hernia center were identified from an institutional database. The approach involves mesh placement in the intraperitoneal or preperitoneal position after closure of the fascial defect.

Purpose: The management of parastomal hernia following cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion is challenging due to its specific nature and a high recurrence rate, yet is poorly described.
Methods: We retrospectively searched the clinical data warehouse of our center for patients who had primary parastomal hernia repair following cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion. The primary endpoint was recurrence of parastomal hernia; secondary endpoints were postoperative complications and surgical management of recurrences.
