Aim: The aim of the study is to compare the effect of extraperitoneal high uterosacral ligament suspension (EHUS) and sacrospinous ligament fixation on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and anatomical reduction in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study concluded 91 patients with POP who underwent EHUS or sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) for apical repair. The primary outcome was the effect of the two operations on anatomical reduction. The main secondary outcomes included improvement of questionnaire scores, satisfaction, and subjective prolapse rate. Categorical variables, Student's t test, and the Mann-Whitney U test were used for analysis.
Results: All patients' scores of POP-Q were significantly improved after surgery. The scores of urinary frequency and urgency in the SSLF group improved significantly from 6 months after surgery, with statistical significance (p < 0.05), while the scores of nocturia and urgency in the EHUS group improved from 1 month after surgery (p < 0.05). The scores of questionnaires in both groups were significantly lower than those before surgery, while the EHUS group showed more significant improvement (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: EHUS is easy to operate, has a short operative time, fewer perioperative and postoperative complications, and the apical can be suspended well if the prolapse is not severe. It also has a certain degree of relief for LUTS, which is a new type of operation that is worthy of clinical promotion.

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) is characterized by a combination of straining, incomplete evacuation, and the use of digital manipulation with defecation. Transvaginal sacrospinous ligament suture rectopexy has been shown to effectively improve obstructed defecation symptoms caused by rectal partial prolapse and lack of support during first year postoperatively. This study aimed to investigate the long-term clinical and anatomical outcomes of this novel and minimally invasive surgery.

Objective: To investigate trends in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgical repair procedures and patient characteristics over the past decade, focusing on peri-operative and post-operative complications.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed POP surgeries and short-term complications among women over 18 at a tertiary medical center from 2014 to 2022. Exclusion criteria included pelvic radiation, malignancy, significant comorbidities, incomplete records, or loss to follow-up.

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.
