AI Article Synopsis

  • - Genitourinary prolapse in newborn females is rare and can occur due to poor pelvic nerve function or damage to the pelvic muscles and ligaments.
  • - There have been various treatment methods suggested in the past for this condition, but very few cases have been documented, especially concerning its link with anorectal malformations.
  • - The report discusses three cases of newborn females with both genitourinary prolapse and anorectal malformation, where a decompressing colostomy successfully treated the condition, suggesting increased intra-abdominal pressure as a possible cause.

Article Abstract

Genitourinary prolapse in newborn females as an introital mass is an uncommon entity. The usual causative mechanisms are poor pelvic innervation, damage or pressure on pelvic musculature and ligaments etc. Different methods of reduction as treatment were proposed in the past. Apart from uncommon occurrence of genitourinary prolapse in newborns, its association with anorectal malformation is not reported in English literature after searching on PubMed and Google Scholar. We report three cases of genitourinary prolapse with anorectal malformation in newborn females where decompressing colostomy was curative for the condition reflecting increased intra-abdominal pressure as causative mechanism.

Vaginal pessaries have been used for millennia to alleviate symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Despite their long-standing use, the success rate of pessary treatment is approximately 60%, and the underlying mechanisms of support are not well understood. This study aims to investigate three previously proposed hypotheses regarding the support mechanisms of pessaries, utilizing supine and upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): (1) support by bony structures, (2) support by levator ani muscles (LAM), and (3) the uterus keeping the pessary in place by acting as a lever.

Spontaneous transvaginal small bowel evisceration, without recent trauma or surgery, is extremely rare. Complications include bowel obstruction, perforation, gangrene, septicaemia and death, requiring urgent surgical intervention. We report a case of a woman in her late 60s, who presented with 70-75 cm of small intestine eviscerated through the vagina, alongside a long history of uterine and rectal prolapse.

To assess the very long-term functional outcomes and complications of robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) at our institution where this robotic technology for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair has been available since 2006. A retrospective review of a cohort of women who underwent a RASC was performed by an investigator not involved in the clinical care of these patients. Women with no electronic medical record follow-up in the last 2 years were contacted by telephone.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a disorder that seriously impacts the quality of life of women. It occurs when muscles and ligaments weaken and cause pelvic organs to drop lower in the pelvis, creating a bulge in the vagina. Surgery to correct pelvic organ prolapse has been a mainstay treatment.
