Article Abstract
Unlabelled: The anterior wall of the vagina is very rich in nerves, blood vessels, and exocrine glands. This anatomical region is related to female sexual desire. During the anterior colporrhaphy operation, dissection of the anterior vaginal wall causes damage to this area, which may lead to decreased sexual satisfaction. In the present study, we aimed to investigate sexual function after anterior vaginal wall surgery.
Methods: Totally 89 patients who had undergone the anterior colporrhaphy operation between May 2021 and December 2021 were included in the study. The patients' sexual function was investigated before surgery and six months after surgery. The effects on sexual function were determined according to the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire.
Results: According to our study results, orgasm and orgasm intensities decreased after anterior colporrhaphy surgery (p = 0.000; p = 0.000), while sexual desire or arousal did not change (p = 0.405; p = 0.052). In addition, an increase in pain was observed during sexual intercourse after surgery (p = 0.000). No statistically significant difference was observed in the PISQ-12 score before or after anterior colporrhaphy surgery (p = 0.675).
Conclusion: Based on the results of our study, we found a remarkable decrease in orgasm in these patients. Furthermore, we think that it is appropriate to recommend conservative or alternative treatments for the early stages of cystocele. Nevertheless, larger-scale studies may be designed to reveal the importance of this region in sexual function.

Outcomes of concomitant midurethral sling and anterior colporrhaphy in managing stress urinary incontinence associated with cystocele: a systematic review and single-arm analysis.

Background: Multiple surgical approaches have been provided for treating Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) combined with anterior vaginal wall prolapse (cystocele). However the optimal treatment remains a topic of ongoing debate. This systematic review and single-arm analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of midurethral sling (MUS) with concomitant anterior colporrhaphy (AC) for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence associated with grade 1-3 anterior vaginal wall prolapse.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition that negatively impacts women's quality of life. Uterine-preserving procedures are increasingly demanded by patients with uterine prolapse, particularly when associated with true cervical elongation. The Manchester procedure, historically used for uterine preservation, has regained interest due to its effectiveness and low morbidity.

The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of lateral abdominal wall suspension during surgery compared with traditional procedures in patients with pelvic organ prolapse without uterine preservation. Collect the data of patients with uterine and vaginal wall prolapse who underwent surgery from January 2022 to December 2023. All patients were divided into three groups according to different surgical procedures: Study Group (laparoscopic total hysterectomy + bilateral salpingectomy/oophorectomy + lateral abdominal wall suspension + posterior colporrhaphy), Control Group 1 (laparoscopic-assisted vaginal total hysterectomy + bilateral salpingectomy/bilateral oophorectomy + anterior and posterior colporrhaphy), and Control Group 2 (vaginal total hysterectomy + anterior and posterior colporrhaphy).

Background: The management of pelvic organ prolapse remains a clinical challenge, particularly with concerns regarding the safety of synthetic mesh-based procedures. In response, we present a novel approach for apical prolapse repair utilizing robotic assistance for tendon transplantation, offering a promising alternative to the use of synthetic meshes.
Case Presentation: A 47-year-old multiparous woman (white, non-Hispanic) with a history of three vaginal deliveries and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy presented with symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, including vaginal discomfort, recurrent urinary tract infections, and overactive bladder.
