AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a rare case of a 24-year-old woman with continuous urinary incontinence due to vesicovaginal and ureterovaginal fistulas after a total abdominal hysterectomy.
- Diagnosis involved cystoscopy revealing abnormal tissue and a hidden ureteric opening, indicating complex surgical needs.
- The surgery successfully repaired the fistulas and resolved incontinence, highlighting the importance of thorough investigation and histological checks for malignancy in similar cases.
Article Abstract
Background: One of the few remaining important issues in urological and gynaecological surgery relates to fistulas between the urinary tract and the vagina. Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) and ureterovaginal fistulas (UVF) are defined as abnormal connections between the urinary tract, on the one side, and the female genital system, on the other.
Case Presentation: This study is about an unreported and undescribed case of 24 year old female who presented with the complaints of continuous urinary incontinence for 18 months following total abdominal hysterectomy. Preoperative cystoscopy and vaginal/speculum findings revealed a papillary frond like mass protruding intravesically from VVF site which was free from the edges of fistulous opening all around. Also, left ureteric orifice was not visualized. On exploration, there was evidence of intravesical herniation of right tubal fimbria through the common opening of VVF and left UVF near left vaginal vault apex mimicking a bladder mass presenting with continuous incontinence for 18 months. Modified O' Conners VVF repair with left ureteric reimplantation was done. The postoperative period was uneventful with patient having no incontinence.
Conclusion: It seems that surgical resection of ovarian cyst with VVF and UVF repair is the definitive treatment and histopathological examination is essential to exclude malignant transformation.

Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective review was performed on patients who underwent urodynamic studies from 2012 to 2023, dividing them into those with DU and a control group with normal voiding parameters while excluding certain patients with obstructive conditions or recent treatments.
- * Findings revealed that DU is more prevalent in patients with specific risk factors like spinal diseases and a history of surgeries in females, and that both males and females primarily experience voiding symptoms, with a significant number also reporting
INTRA-ABDOMINAL PRESSURE MONITORING DURING LÁZARO DA SILVA'S PROCEDURE FOR VENTRAL HERNIA REPAIR: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during ventral hernia repair using Lázaro da Silva's technique to prevent complications like hypertension.
- IAP was measured at four key points during the surgery on 28 patients, finding a slight increase of 0.5 mmHg.
- Ultimately, the procedure was effective as the increase in IAP did not lead to significant issues such as intra-abdominal hypertension or compartment syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- Surgical errors are decreasing due to new techniques, but they can still occur and need to be addressed to prevent recurrence.
- A case study is presented involving an 80-year-old patient who developed a rare intravesical textiloma after laparoscopic hernia repair, leading to hematuria and urinary issues.
- The case highlights the need for increased awareness and prevention measures for such rare surgical complications across all specialties.

Background: The repair of large abdominal wall defects that cannot be closed primarily is quite challenging. The component separation technique (CST) is a surgical approach using autologous tissue to close large abdominal wall defects. The CST requires extensive dissection between the abdominal skin and the anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle.
