Background: Laparoscopic suture rectopexy is safe and effective treatment option for pediatric rectal prolapse. We performed this study to compare the outcome of modified laparoscopic suture rectopexy (MLSR) versus Classical Laparoscopic suture rectopexy (CLSR).

Material And Methods: The study was conducted between June 2015 to May 2019 including all the patients with persistent rectal prolapse who underwent surgery managed by either MLSR (Group A) or CLSR (Group B). The groups were compared for constipation, operative time, blood loss, length of stay, postoperative complications.

Results: 19 patients from MLSR and 22 patients from CLSR were evaluated. The mean operative time in MLSR group was 41.5 ± 6.2 min which was significantly lesser than CLSR group with a mean operative time of 78.6 ± 14.2 (p = 0.001). The blood loss was also less in MLSR group compared to CLSR group (p = 0.013). At three months of follow up, the constipation was less in MLSR group compared to CLSR group (p = 0.041).

Conclusion: The modification makes the procedure technically easy, minimizes the chances of complications and retaining all the advantages of suture rectopexy.

Level Of Evidence: Level II.

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.

An obturator hernia (OH) is a rare type of hernia that accounts for a very small proportion of all hernias and cases of small bowel obstruction. This condition predominantly affects older, underweight individuals, with the vast majority of patients being women. Laparotomy with simple suture closure of the defect is commonly used as surgical treatment for OH.

Purpose: The most common surgical intervention in childhood is inguinal hernioplasty. The advantage of laparoscopic approach is still questionable, therefore our aim was to compare open hernia repair (OHR) and PIRS (Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing) technique at the authors' institute.

Methods: An observational retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2013 and 2021.
