Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of vaginal native tissue repair and uterine suspension after a follow-up of at least 1 year.
Methods: We included all consecutive women with an anterior vaginal prolapse of stage II or higher and a concomitant uterine prolapse of stage II who underwent this surgical procedure. We considered women with a descensus with maximum point of less than -1 in any compartment as objectively cured. Overall success was defined as no prolapse symptoms, together with a Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) score of 2 or less, prolapse of stage lower than II, and no need for other surgery.
Results: A total of 102 patients underwent this surgical procedure during the study period and met all the inclusion criteria for statistical analysis. The mean follow-up was 31 ± 8.2 months; no patient was lost to follow-up. Five patients (4.9%) showed postoperative complications. In terms of subjective outcomes, at the last available follow-up, failure of this surgical procedure was seen in 2% of patients. The objective cure rate and the overall cure rate were the 95.1%. No significant deterioration in objective cure rates was observed over time (p = 0.6).
Conclusions: Vaginal repair and hysteropexy appear to be an effective and safe option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse.

Comparing combined paravaginal repair with pubocervical fascia plication versus standard anterior colporrhaphy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women with anterior vaginal wall prolapse: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is prevalent among women, often occurring alongside anterior vaginal wall prolapse. This study compares the efficacy and safety of an improved vaginal wall repair technique with pubocervical fascia fixation versus standard anterior colporrhaphy for treating SUI in women with anterior vaginal wall prolapse.
Methods: A single-centre, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial was conducted between September 2021 and June 2024.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Autologous fascia lata has been increasingly utilised in pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. This case highlights sacrohysteropexy with autologous fascia lata as a promising option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus and avoid synthetic mesh.
Methods: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse following one forceps and one spontaneous vaginal delivery.
Comparison of sexual function between laparoscopic lateral suspension and laparoscopic sacrocervicopexy with the use of the PISQ-IR questionnaire.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to analyze the quality of sexual life of patients with apical vaginal wall prolapse who had undergone laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC).
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of sexual outcomes of a previous randomized control trial comparing LLS and LSC in 89 women with symptomatic POP stage ≥ II. We evaluated sexually active (SA) and non-sexually active women (NSA) using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA-Revised (PISQ-IR).
Infected Haematoma Fistulating Through Adjacent Colorectal Anastomosis Mimicking an Anastomotic Leak.

Anastomotic leakage is a well-understood major complication of colorectal surgery and carries significant implications for patient morbidity and mortality. However, an infected collection fistulating through an otherwise healthy colorectal anastomosis can mimic an anastomotic leak and warrants different management to a primary anastomotic leak. Such a presentation is undocumented in the current literature.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a debilitating condition that diminishes quality of life, and it has been linked to pregnancy and aging. Injury of the uterosacral ligaments (USLs), which provide apical support to the pelvic organs, is a major cause of uterine prolapse. In this study, we examined the effect of pregnancy and age on the apparent elastic modulus, susceptibility to collagen damage, and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition of the murine USL.
