This case report highlights a rare occurrence of urethral prolapse (UP) in a 7-year-old girl diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF). The patient displayed a protruding, swollen, and bleeding mass at the urinary orifice, accompanied by chronic constipation and a recent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Cystovaginoscopy and circumferential excision were performed, leading to a successful outcome. Since the operation, the patient has been pain-free. The association between CF and UP underscores the need for heightened awareness among clinicians. The report focuses on recognizing and managing UP in pediatric CF patients to provide the best possible care.

Objective: To determine the objective and subjective outcomes of a Combined anterior trans-obturator mesh (Surelift-A) and sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSF) for advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP), along with the evaluation of surgical complications, postoperative impact on quality of life (QoL), and lower urinary tract symptoms.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study in a tertiary center from May 2021-December 2022 included 150 patients with symptomatic anterior or apical POP stage III and IV, who underwent pelvic reconstructive surgery with Surelift-A mesh combined with SSF. All completed a 72-h voiding diary, urodynamic study (UDS), and multiple validated QoL questionnaires at baseline, 6 and 12 months postoperatively.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) affects over 12% of middle-aged women, characterized by excessive straining, incomplete evacuation, and splinting. Current surgical options such as ventral mesh rectopexy, though effective, involve risks associated with mesh use and abdominal entry. This study evaluates the short-term complications of transvaginal sacrospinous ligament rectopexy.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent a prevalent health concern among the female population, with anatomical and physiological determinants such as a shorter urethra and its proximity to the rectum augmenting vulnerability. The presence of Escherichia coli and various other pathogens plays a significant role in the etiology of these infections, which can be aggravated by sexual intercourse and disturbances to the vaginal microbiome. The physiological alterations associated with pregnancy further elevate the likelihood of UTIs, with untreated cases potentially leading to severe complications such as pyelonephritis, preterm labor, and stillbirth.
