Genital Prolapse Surgery: What Options Do We Have in the Age of Mesh Issues?

J Clin Med

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Witten-Herdecke, 41540 Dormagen, Germany.

Published: January 2021

Here, we describe the current laparoscopic procedures for prolapse surgery and report data based on the application of these procedures. We also evaluate current approaches in vaginal prolapse surgery. Debates concerning the use of meshes have seriously affected vaginal surgery and threaten to influence reconstructive laparoscopic surgery as well. We describe the option of using autologous tissue in combination with the laparoscopic approach. Study data and problematic issues concerning the existing techniques are highlighted, and future options addressed.

Purpose: Advancements in minimally invasive technologies to decrease postoperative morbidity and recovery times represent a large opportunity for mitral valve repair operations. However, current technologies are unable to replicate gold standard surgical neochord implantation.

Methods: We developed a novel neochordal repair device, Minimally Invasive Ventricular Anchoring Neochordoplasty (MIVAN), which operates via transcatheter, trans-septal anchoring to the posterior ventricular wall.

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).

Anterior exenteration is a radical surgical option for treating locally advanced pelvic malignancies when alternative treatments are deemed ineffective or inappropriate. Due to its nature as an ablative treatment, interference with supportive structures of the pelvic floor can result in pelvic organ prolapse. A 70-year-old woman presented with prolapse after radical cystectomy and following two unsuccessful attempts at Le Fort colpocleisis, the second of which was further complicated by rupture of the vaginal cuff.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided coronary intravascular lithotripsy and rotational atherectomy in treating severe coronary artery calcification.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 60 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from October 2022 to August 2023 was conducted. The patients were divided into two groups: 30 received IVUS-guided coronary intravascular lithotripsy and 30 underwent IVUS-guided rotational atherectomy.

Vaginal Orthosis After Native Tissue Reconstructive Surgery: Design and Phase 0.

Urogynecology (Phila)

December 2024

From the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.

Importance: Pelvic organ prolapse recurrence following native tissue repair occurs with composite failure rates of 9-19% within 12 months, predominantly involving apical/anterior compartments. Objective The objective of this study was to develop a novel vaginal orthosis (NVO) device prototype through an iterative design process based on investigator and user feedback.

Study Design: The NVO was designed based on pelvic floor biomechanical principles to mitigate unopposed intra-abdominal pressure of the anterior vagina by absorbing and redirecting intra-abdominal forces to the levator ani and tailored to accommodate postoperative vaginal caliber and axis.
