OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the independent effect of suburethral sling placement on the risk of cystocele recurrence after pelvic reconstructive operation. STUDY DESIGN One hundred forty-eight women with cystoceles to or beyond the hymenal ring underwent pelvic reconstructive operation, with or without incontinence procedures, and were evaluated at 12 and 52 weeks aft...

AIMS To assess the technical feasibility of a new mini-invasive sling procedure (MiniArc) and present short-term results in the treatment of female urinary incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 97 women with mixed or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were treated by placement of the new single-incision sling. Pelvic organ prolapse was graded using the POP-Q system (pelvic organ prola...

diced rib cartilage is an acceptable option in severe nasal deformities. we present our preliminary experience in kamc in nasal septoplasties using the autologous diced costal cartilage. this is a retrospective study of the 22 cases who needed the autologous diced costal cartilage in our centre in 4 years. all our patients needed autologous diced rib cartilages. twelve were wrapped with tempora...

Objective To describe a novel RoboSling technique performed at the time of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and its utility for enhancing urinary function recovery postoperatively. Materials Methods The surgical involves harvesting vascularised, fascial flap from peritoneum on posterior aspect bladder. Following completion prostatectomy, autologous is tunnelled underneath bladder inc...

INTRODUCTION More than 200,000 midurethral slings are placed yearly for stress urinary incontinence. Approximately 14% to 20% of women experience worsening sexual function overall after these procedures. We postulated that sling placement injures neural pathways regulating "female prostate" tissue within the anterior vaginal wall. AIM To perform a meta-analysis for overall sexual function and...

Aiming at the parachute recovery of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles, a method deployment by tractor rocket is proposed. First, tensile tests were carried out on high-strength polyethylene and brocade silk-weaved composite materials. The dynamic property parameters materials obtained, which was input for model phase. Second, verified experiment results. Finally, weight launch temperature dur...

Do structures exist within the embryonic central nervous system that guide axons across the midline during development of the great cerebral commissures (corpus callosum, anterior commissure)? With the use of serial section and reconstructive computer graphic techniques we have found that during normal ontogeny of the mouse forebrain and before the arrival of the pioneer fibers of the corpus ca...

TECHNIQUE A skin reducing mastectomy is performed via Wise pattern incisions, retaining an extensive inferior dermal sling of de-epithelialised tissue. A sizer is used to ensure the skin envelope meets the inframammary fold before an anatomical implant is placed on the pectoralis major. Complete coverage is achieved with the inferior dermal sling, which is sutured to the pectoralis superiorly. ...

UNLABELLED A new sling technique that allows a postoperative adjustment of the sling tension is presented with encouraging results in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. The readjustment prevents the need of a reoperation in case of relapse with great compliance of the patients. Indications for surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence by ReMeEx included patients...
