Introduction: Vaginal complications following radical cystectomy may require surgical treatment. We herein report a case of successful laparoscopically assisted vulvar reconstruction using the gluteal fold flap for anterior enterocele following robot-assisted radical cystectomy.

Case Presentation: A 71-year-old Japanese woman underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy for bladder cancer (ypT1ypN1M0). The bladder, urethra, bilateral ovaries, and anterior vaginal wall were removed together transvaginally. The Mercedes-Benz closure technique was performed for vaginal reconstruction using the posterior vaginal wall. Seventeen months after surgery, she complained of a vulvar bulge, and physical examination confirmed a tennis ball-sized anterior enterocele. Therefore, she underwent laparoscopically assisted vulvar reconstruction using the gluteal fold flap. No recurrence had developed at 6 months postoperatively.

Conclusion: The combination with laparoscopy allows vulvar reconstruction to be performed safely and efficiently.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Labia majora atrophy and protrusion of the labia minora beyond the labia majora is a concern for an increasing number of women who consider it aesthetically and, sometimes, functionally unsatisfactory. The ESOLANE study was a multicenter clinical investigation designed to collect effectiveness and safety data on DESIRIAL® PLUS injected subcutaneously in the labia majora in participants seeking labia majora volume deficits correction.

Methods: A prospective, uncontrolled, open-label multicenter study was conducted between November 2019 and December 2021.
