Pilsner Modification of Mesh Sacrohysterocolpopexy (PiMMS): An Initial Report on Safety and Efficacy
ConclusionsThe PiMMS technique seems to have comparable safety profile and patient-reported outcomes with the sLSH technique. However, there is a trend toward reduced anterior compartment failures with this modification. The findings of this preliminary report need to be re-evaluated in a well-powered prospective study.

A Randomised Trial on the Effects of the Addition of Uterosacral Ligament Plication to Pectopexy Operation on Anatomical Restoration and Female Sexual Functions
ConclusionPectopexy operation seems to be a successful surgical approach as an alternative to sacrocolpopexy. The addition of uterosacral ligament plication to pectopexy operation improves the anatomical restoration more drastically than with LP on its own. Moreover, either LP or LPUSL has improved the majority of sexual function indices. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

PD-L1 Expression in Nonbacterial Chronic Cystitis and Bladder Cancer
ConclusionsExpression of PD-L1 was detected in a cohort of NCC patients, although the PD-L1 positivity rate was lower than that in BC. Our results demonstrate that the degree of PD-L1 expression in bladder tissue is associated with the presence of viral infections and with the degree of inflammatory infiltration of the bladder wall in both NCC and BC.

Dietary Intake and Symptom Severity in Women with Fecal Incontinence
ConclusionOverall, in women with moderate to severe FI, there was no association between FI severity and dietary fat/fiber intake. Weak associations between FI frequency and fat intake may suggest a role for dietary assessment in the evaluation of women with FI.

Exploring the Topography of the Obturator Artery and Corona Mortis: a Detailed Analysis with Surgical Implications
ConclusionsOur study developed a unique arterial anatomical map of the ObA, showcasing its origin and course. Moreover, we have provided more data for straightforward intraoperative identification of the corona mortis through simple anatomical landmarks, including the pubic symphysis. Interestingly, a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the morphometric properties of the aberrant ObAs and the “normal” ObAs originating from the internal iliac artery was found. It is hoped that our study may aid in reducing the risk of serious hemorrhagic complications during various surgical procedures in the...
