We describe the first reported case of transient distal ureteric obstruction attributed to post-surgical oedema in a patient with a solitary kidney. This occurred following combined pelvic floor repair and sacrospinous fixation for recurrent pelvic organ prolapse and manifested clinically as anuria, radiological hydroureter and acute kidney injury in the postoperative period. The transient nature of this obstruction, which was managed by a temporary percutaneous nephrostomy, indicates that it was caused by ureteric compression secondary to soft tissue oedema following surgery. We highlight the importance of this potential complication in females with a history of nephrectomy, unilateral renal tract anomalies or severely diminished renal reserve.

<em>Objective</em>. Treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with transobturator tension-free vaginal mesh (anterior Prolift) and concomitant tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O) has been proved feasible, safe and effective. However, there is little known about the influence of pregnancy on women who have had such procedures before pregnancy. <em>Design and methods.</em> A 32-year-old woman (gravid 1, para 1) with two years history of SUI and nine months history of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) was treated with transobturator tension-free vaginal mesh (anterior Prolift) and concomitant TVT-O. Her recovery was excellent, and she was pregnant eight months after the operation. <em>Results</em>. The patient went through her pregnancy smoothly with no special discomfort and successfully delivered an infant via caesarean section without recurrence of POP and SUI. Her last visit to our clinic about 14 months after caesarean section revealed that the anterior Prolift mesh and TVT-O mesh still remained intact and the position of the vaginal fornix, anterior and posterior walls and uterus also remained normal. <em>Conclusions</em>: Pelvic floor reconstruction with vaginal mesh (Prolift) may have positive significance for young patients who desire uterine preservation for future pregnancies. However, further studies are warranted to determine whether it can be used in pregnant women or women planning future pregnancies.

Abstract Introduction Patients who suffer from pelvic organ prolapse can experience severe limitations in their quality of life. To improve the quality of life of women affected and achieve a stable reconstruction, surgical therapy is often indispensable. In conventional prolapse surgery, the rate of recurrence is high. For this reason, alloplastic mesh has been implanted increasingly in recent years to reconstruct the anatomy of the pelvic floor organs. Even if the anatomical result can be significantly improved as a result, the mesh-induced complications have been the subject of controversial discussion. In this national, multicentre study, the quality of life, anatomical result as well as the rate of complications following the implantation of an alloplastic mesh for the correction of a cystocele were investigated. Method Fifty-four patients with symptomatic ≥ grade II were included in this prospective, national, multicentre study. The study participants were implanted with a titanised polypropylene mesh (TiLOOP® PRO A, pfm medical ag). The follow-up observation period was 12 months. Primary as well as repeat procedures were taken into account. The anatomic result of the pelvic floor reconstruction was quantified using the POP-Q system. Data on quality of life and sexuality were collected using validated questionnaires. All complications which occurred were documented and evaluated by an independent committee. Results On average, the patients were in line with the census. An improvement in quality of life was able to be determined during the study in all domains investigated (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon test). Minus incorrect entries and incorrect reports, a total of 19 reports of adverse events in 15 patients were evaluated by the end of the study. The rate of recurrence in the anterior compartment was 4.3%. Conclusion In the reconstruction of the anatomical position of the pelvic floor organs given the presence of a symptomatic cystocele, the implantation of a third-generation alloplastic mesh achieves very good results. Affected patients benefit from the anatomical stability as well as a significant improvement in quality of life, whereby the risks are justifiable.

Introduction: Uterine prolapse is the herniation of the uterus into or beyond the vagina as a result of failure of the ligamentous and fascial supports. It often coexist with prolapse of the vaginal walls, involving the bladder or rectum. A surgical treatment for uterine prolapse is hysterectomy. Changes in pelvic anatomic structure due to hysterectomy can result in impaired pelvic function because of nerve or pelvic muscle structure damage during surgery. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the presence of pelvic floor dysfunction in uterine prolapse patients who have undergone Total Vaginal Hysterectomy (TVH) surgery at Dr Sardjito General Hospital, from November 2018 to September 2019. Evaluations were carried out using Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) questionnaire. Methods: This study is an analytical descriptive research, using secondary data taken from patient’s medical records at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta. It uses The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) questionnaire, which consisted of 3 assessment groups, those are Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory 6 (POPDI-6), Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory 8m(CRADI 8), and Urinary Distress Inventory 6 (UDI- 6). The inclusion criteria of this study were patients with diagnoses of uterine prolapse, cystocele and rectocele, who could be contacted and gave consent to conduct telephone interview. Results: There were 14 patients that met the inclusion criteria, they are uterine prolapse, cystocele and rectocele patients with a history of TVH procedure, were assessed using PFDI questionnaire. All patients did not have any pelvic floor dysfunction either from the POPDI-6, CRADI-8 or UDI-6 assessment groups. The weakness of this evaluation is that the PFDI postoperative value cannot be compared with before surgery, so it cannot be proven that the absence of pelvic floor dysfunction in the patient concerned is a positive result of the surgery performed, or not give significant changes. Conclusion: There is no pelvic floor dysfunction in patients with a history of TVH procedure on the indication of uterine prolapse, which was performed at Dr Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta.

BACKGROUND Some patients who undergo pelvic floor reconstruction for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) may experience a de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI) postoperatively. We aimed to investigate the incidence and characteristics of de novo SUI in patients who underwent pelvic floor reconstruction at the national referral hospital in Indonesia. METHODS This cross-sectional study evaluated 108 patients who underwent pelvic floor reconstruction due to POP between January 2016 and December 2017. Per the inclusion criteria, 75 women were enrolled using a consecutive sampling. The incidence of de novo SUI was determined 6–12 months postoperatively using the Indonesian version of the questionnaire for urinary incontinence diagnosis and objectively using the cough stress test during gynecologic examination after a negative preoperative prolapse reduction stress test. RESULTS The average age, parity, body mass index, and years since menopause onset were 56.17 (4.67) years, 3.17 (1.07), 28.58 (5.18) kg/m2, and 12.8 (7.0) years, respectively. De novo SUI was seen in 8.0% (6 of 75) patients at 6–7 months postoperatively, with 3 (50.0%) had severe POP and 3 (50.0%) had a mild POP. Most of these patients (4 of 6, 66.7%) had undergone procedures other than colpocleisis for POP reconstruction. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of de novo SUI after gynecologic surgery for POP at a national referral hospital in Indonesia is 8%. Most patients were aged <60 years, had a parity of <4, were nonobese, were menopausal, and had diabetes.

Pelvic floor disorders, which includes pelvic organ prolapse (POP), have shown an increasing prevalence among women worldwide. (Wu 2014) It is perceived as embarrassment and affect the women’s quality of life. A 68-year-old housewife, Para 3, complained of a 50-cent coin size lump coming down from her vagina since 2019, which could be reduced back manually inside the vagina. The symptom exacerbated by straining and carrying heavy objects. Ignoring the symptom, causing the lump to increase in size and protruded out from her vagina for the past 2 months. She had 3 SVD with maximum birth weight of 3.75kg and a prolonged second stage of labour in her second pregnancy. She was not aware and never practiced pelvic floor exercise nor taken any HRT. There were no urinary symptoms nor constipation. Her BMI is 25.2kg/m2. Abdominal examination was unremarkable. On speculum examination, vagina was atrophic and third degree uterine prolapse was evident. She was arranged to have Vaginal hysterectomy, anterior colporrhaphy and sacrospinous fixation done. The positive risk factors in this case are multiparity, menopausal status, a history of prolonged labor and frequent heavy lifting. The delay in presentation is due to lack of awareness. It was also found in a study that feeling of embarrassment and social stigma could be the reason. (Abhyankar 2019) Pelvic Floor exercise and avoidance of heavy lifting may be beneficial at onset of symptom. For conclusion, POP awareness is crucial to empower women to prevent POP and seek treatment as soon as they are symptomatic.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue-2: 2021 Page: S24

Surgical management of imperforate anus and rectal mucosal prolapse has evolved significantly over the last two decades. The procedure for prolapsed hemorrhoids (PPH) is now widely used primarily for rectal mucosal prolapse and internal hemorrhoids. We describe the use of PPH in the management of symptomatic rectal mucosal prolapse in a 39-year-old man with a history of a high imperforate anus and pelvic floor reconstruction. At 4-year follow up, the prolapse has not recurred and the preoperative symptoms have resolved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of a PPH in the management of rectal mucosal prolapse in a patient with these characteristics.
