A case of marked bilateral hydroureteronephrosis due to extreme prolapse of the bladder is reported. This latter condition led also to obstructive urinary tract symptoms and residual urine. After repair of the cystocele in an unusual way by fixation of the vaginal vault to the sacral promontory, the caliber of the upper urinary tracts became almost normal and postvoiding residual urine disappeared.

Childbirth is a dynamic process involving mutual adaptation between the maternal pelvis and the presenting fetal part. The ability of the pelvis to maintain optimal mobility during labor plays a crucial role in achieving favorable obstetric outcomes. The pubic arch angle (PAA) increases amplitude during pregnancy, showing pelvic tissue adjustment.

Objective: The number of sacrocolpopexies performed with transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is increasing, and presacral fixation is the most dangerous step. Therefore, the training opportunities for trainees to become competent in performing vNOTES sacrocolpopexy are very important. Simulation-based training is ideal for filling this gap.

Article Synopsis
  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of skin cancer that is usually not very dangerous if treated properly, but it can cause big problems if not taken care of.
  • A rare case of a giant BCC appeared on an older woman's back and was wrongly diagnosed for years, but it was finally identified correctly after a biopsy.
  • The giant BCC was successfully removed with surgery, and after 4 years of follow-up, there were no signs of it coming back, highlighting the importance of correct diagnosis by doctors.

The anatomical dimensions and the shape of the pelvis influence surgical difficulty for rectal cancer. Compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery, robot-assisted surgery is expected to improve surgical outcomes due to the multi-joint movement of its surgical instruments. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of pelvic anatomical indicators on short-term outcomes of patients with rectal cancer.

: POP (pelvic organ prolapse) involves the descent of one or more pelvic organs downwards with or without protrusion from the vaginal opening, caused by the relaxation and weakening of ligaments, connective tissue, and pelvic muscles. Such an outcome negatively impacts the quality of life. The gold standard procedure for repairing apical compartment prolapse is colposacropexy (CS) to secure the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina to the anterior longitudinal sacral ligament, located anteriorly to the sacral promontory, using a mesh.
