Introduction: We report a case of bladder eversion through a vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) in an elderly patient with severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Case Presentation: A 90-year-old woman presented with a sensation of prolapse and urinary leakage. She was diagnosed with complete uterine prolapse and bladder mucosal ectropion through a VVF, with renal dysfunction due to bilateral hydronephrosis. A one-stage minimally invasive surgical repair was performed. The VVF was then closed in two layers and reinforced with a Martius flap. Colpocleisis was performed without the addition of transvaginal hysterectomy. At 18 months after surgery, the patient remained free of POP and urinary incontinence.
Conclusion: In elderly patients, VVF can develop in advanced POP. Minimally invasive treatment is desirable, and early intervention for POP may help prevent this complication.

Background: Because complete urinary bladder eversion is rare, a medical dilemma exists on the optimal treatment approach. The most extensive cases of this disorder have required a laparotomy for definitive management. Our transvaginal approach in this case provides an additional surgical perspective, which could potentially guide clinical care for patients with this disorder.

Numerous continence-sparing radical prostatectomy techniques have been developed to enhance postoperative early continence (EC) recovery; however, evidence regarding the best approach remains controversial. The objectives are to provide a critical appraisal of various prostatectomy techniques, based on the evidence of quality-assessed randomized control trials (RCTs); to summarize the immediate continence and the EC reported; and to propose a new standardization for continence outcomes reporting. Data acquired from five medical registries were reported to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards.

Background: Bladder cancer is a urological carcinoma with high incidence, among which muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a malignant carcinoma with high mortality. There is an urgent need to develop new drugs with low toxicity and high efficiency for MIBC because existing medication has defects, such as high toxicity, poor efficacy, and side effects. Jorunnamycin A (JorA), a natural marine compound, has been found to have a high efficiency anticancer effect, but its anticancer function and mechanism on bladder cancer have not been studied.
