To address the growing demand for more elastic sutures free from unwanted knot loosening, we fabricated an absorbable monofilament suture from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) and subjected it to physical property characterization and performance evaluation (in vitro and in vivo degradability tests and a porcine abdominal wall suture test). As this flexible, highly stretchable, and difficult-to-untie suture exhibited additional advantages of small knot size and medium to long-term bioabsorbability, it was concluded to be a safe alternative to existing monofilament sutures, with far-reaching potential applications.

A 57-year-old man underwent partial resection of the right diaphragm with invasive thymoma dissemination. Fifteen days after surgery, he suddenly developed right-sided chest pain with dyspnea and was raced to the hospital. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a massive right hemothorax, and emergency surgery was performed due to hemodynamic shock.

Aim: To discuss extended retrorectal abscess secondary to blunt abdominal trauma as a cause of abdominal wall (AW) infection and impairment.
Methods: According to the CARE checklist, we describe a rare case of blunt abdominal trauma with late diagnosis of jejunal perforation with an abscess that extensively dissected the retromuscular space.
Results: A 65 years-old female patient experienced multiple traumas after a traffic collision.

This expert review provides recommendations for the cesarean technique after placental delivery to skin closure. Following placental delivery during cesarean, sponge curettage may be omitted as it has not been shown to decrease the risk of retained products of conception. Uterine irrigation and mechanical cervical dilation cannot be recommended.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Despite the reputation of sacrocolpopexy as a highly durable reconstructive surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, mesh-related complications remain a significant deterrent for patients. This review discusses the incidence, presentation, diagnosis, management and prevention of sacrocolpopexy mesh complications.
Methods: We reviewed the literature on sacrocolpopexy focusing on long-term mesh complications and their management.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is an established surgical procedure for apical vaginal vault prolapse. There remains significant variation amongst surgeons in both the surgical steps and concomitant surgeries utilised when undertaking an SCP.
Methods: This review article is aimed at summarising the evidence and providing a detailed update of SCP in modern practice, reviewing contemporary evidence behind its indications, efficacy, outcomes, surgical steps, and complications.
