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.

We report the case of a 70-year-old woman with advanced hepatic encephalopathy (HE) secondary to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)-related cirrhosis who exhibited an excellent response to portosystemic shunt embolization. Four years earlier, she was diagnosed as having MASH-related cirrhosis accompanied by multiple mesenteric vein-inferior vena cava shunts. As her condition progressed, she suffered recurrent HE that was unresponsive to oral medication, prompting the decision to proceed with shunt embolization.

Schwannomas commonly occur in the head and neck region but are rarely seen in the gastrointestinal tract; the stomach and small intestine are the most commonly involved sites. These tumors are usually misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) before histopathological confirmation due to radiological similarity. GI schwannomas show positivity for S100 protein and vimentin but are negative for CD 117 and CD 34, which helps in differentiating the tumor from GISTs.

Case Description: A 70 year-old woman presenting T4aN2cM0 laryngeal carcinoma first underwent total laryngectomy with airway reconstruction by cryopreserved aortic allograft. Six months after chemoradiotherapy, she underwent endoscopic surgery to create a neo-laryngopharynx.
Results: At 13 months after primary surgery, day- and night-time breathing was effectively restored, with a little persistent salivary false passage, and a whispering but comprehensible voice after tracheostomy closure.
