Background And Objectives: The aim of this study was to define new techniques for performing vaginal closure with endo-staplers to prevent tumor spillage during laparoscopic surgeries for endometrial cancer and early stage cervical cancer.
Methods: Thirteen patients were retrospectively studied for the use of endo-staplers for vaginal closure before colpotomy during laparoscopic surgeries for endometrial cancer and early stage cervical cancer to prevent tumor spillage.
Results: There were no short-term or any long-term complication related to the use of the endo-staplers for colpotomy in the surgeries included in this study.
Conclusion: Use of the endo-staplers to close the vagina before colpotomy according to the technique described is safe and feasible, with prevention of gross spillage of any malignant cells in the peritoneal cavity or vagina, which will further have a favorable oncologic outcome.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the correlations between specific urethral function parameters observed in urodynamic testing and selected urethral characteristics evaluated by pelvic floor ultrasonography. Additionally, the presence of urethral funneling during straining was evaluated in female patients referred for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 192 female patients referred for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence with the use of retropubic tension-free vaginal tape.

Background: Proficiency with laparoscopic suturing is often the rate-limiting step in performing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Intracorporeal suturing is challenging due to difficulties with needle control and tissue handling. Endoscopic suturing devices may improve operator experience.

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a very effective method in the treatment of dehiscent, infected, and non-healing wounds. Difficult wound healing occurs especially in late pregnancy due to the rapid enlargement of the uterus and the constantly increasing tension of the entire abdominal wall. In cases of dehiscence of the surgical wound during pregnancy, proper subsequent treatment is needed, where it is necessary to consider the safety of the mother as well as the fetus.

Background: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is nowadays the standard to treat benign and malignant disease occurring in the uterus, but the number of robotic-assisted surgeries is increasing worldwide. To facilitate the handling of sutures in a bi- and tri-dimensional plane, a new type of suture material has been developed, named barbed sutures, which are in use in different indications. In comparison to conventional suture materials, the barbs anchor the suture in the tissue, provide tissue approximation and prevent slippage without the need for knot tying.

Objective: This case report aims to present a rare occurrence of fallopian tube prolapse into the vaginal vault following hysterectomy, underscoring the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication.
Case Report: A 45-year-old woman, with a history of hysterectomy for adenomyosis, presented with symptoms mimicking a vaginal tumor, including persistent discharge, abdominal pain, postcoital bleeding, and weight loss. Imaging raised concerns of malignancy, but surgery revealed a prolapsed fallopian tube with chronic inflammation.
