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.

This case report presents a novel approach for vulvovaginal reconstruction using a modified pedicled anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap. The patient was a 62-year-old woman with a history of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and radiation therapy, after which the cancer recurred. Total vulvectomy was performed with preservation of the urethra and vaginal introitus.

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.

A population of was recovered from inside the body of a live scarab beetle collected from natural forests of Jafar Abad village, Golestan province, and was reported from Iran for the first time. The Iranian isolate of the species is characterized by 1103-1942 μm long females with their vulva at 46.9-57.
