Published: January 2025

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of autologous fascial pubovaginal sling (AFPVS) surgery in treating recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following the failure of mid-urethral sling procedures.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of SUI patients who underwent AFPVS at our hospital between 2008 June and 2024 June following the failure of mid-urethral sling procedures. The analysis included basic information, surgical parameters, and postoperative complications. Additionally, telephone interviews using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICI-Q-SF) and the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL) was conducted at 6-month follow-up.

Results: Thirty-four patients with the mean age of 54.8 ± 15.7 years old were reviewed, and the median disease duration was 3 (2-10) years. Of the 34 patients, 20 (58.8%) were cured, 8 (23.5%) showed improvement, resulting in an overall effectiveness rate of 82.3%. Three cases experienced bladder injury, which resolved after 2 weeks of catheterization, but no patients had urethral or vaginal injuries intraoperatively. Postoperative scores on the ICI-Q-SF significantly decreased (p < 0.001), and postoperative I-QOL scores significantly increased (p < 0.001) compared to preoperative scores.

Conclusion: AFPVS is a safe and effective salvage procedure for recurrent SUI following the failure of mid-urethral sling procedures.

Background: Autologous fat grafting in the buttocks has gained great popularity However, one of the main risks is infiltration of fat into the systemic venous system, leading to potential complications such as macroscopic fatty embolism (MAFE), which can be fatal.

Objectives: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the LiRi (Linear Retrograde infiltration) for autologous fat grafting in the buttocks, and its evolution over a six-month follow-up period.

Methods: The procedure was performed in 114 patients.

Background: Nerve wraps composed of various autologous and bioengineered materials have been used to bolster nerve repair sites. In this study, we describe the novel use of autologous fascia nerve wraps (AFNW) as an adjunct to epineurial repair and evaluate their effect on inflammatory cytokine expression, intraneural collagen deposition and end-organ reinnervation in rats and use of AFNW in a patient case series.

Methods: Lewis rats received sciatic transection with repair either with or without AFNW, sciatic-to-common peroneal nerve transfer with or without AFNW, or sham surgery (n=14/group).

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Monash University, Clayton, VIC, 3168, Australia.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Autologous fascia lata has been increasingly utilised in pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. This case highlights sacrohysteropexy with autologous fascia lata as a promising option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus and avoid synthetic mesh.

Methods: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse following one forceps and one spontaneous vaginal delivery.
