We aimed to examine the usefulness of cystoscopic findings to guide mesh tension adjustment during laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) to promote better repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and prevent de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In this technique, the bladder wall was observed using a cystoscope when various traction pressures were applied by pulling the mesh arm with forceps before fixation to the promontory during LSC. Adjustment was performed on 20 patients, and postoperative outcomes of POP repair and development of de novo SUI were evaluated. Read More

In several cases of treatment of acromion fractures of the scapula, plate fixation provides more rigidity to the fractured area. However, no specific plates are available for the acromion because of high interindividual variation in the shape of the acromion. We report two cases of acromion fractures operated using a mesh plate (Depuy Synthes, West Chester, PA, USA), which acts as a versatile, low-profile implant, being cut according to the specific fracture pattern and anatomical fitting.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse is quite frequent and at the same time a challenging surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.

Methods: One of the most popular methods of treatment is sacrospinous fixation, including its mesh modification.

Results: Despite the high efficiency in the apical compartment, the incidence of the anterior compartment prolapse is quite high. Read More

Sciatic hernia is a rare pelvic floor hernia. A variety of treatment modalities were proposed, but a guideline is lacking although a mesh-based tension-free repair may be preferred. A 67-year-old woman with an uncomplicated sciatic hernia received primarily closing of the hernia orifice that was covered with a preperitoneal mesh in March 2019. Read More
