          Abstract

          Introduction

          This report aims to describe our experience in the pelvic floor reconstruction of anterior enterocele following radical cystectomy by transvaginal surgery using a mesh for abdominal wall hernia repair.

          Case presentation

          An 84‐years‐old woman developed pelvic organ prolapse 4 months after undergoing robot‐assisted radical cystectomy. After examination, she was diagnosed with a midline anterior enterocele. Considering the thinness of the vaginal wall and the large defect of the vaginal wall muscle layer, we performed transvaginal repair using a mesh for abdominal wall hernia repair designed to reduce the adhesion to the intestinal tract.

          Conclusion

          At the 1‐year follow‐up, neither recurrence nor complications were observed. This showed that transvaginal mesh surgery for abdominal wall hernia repair could be a treatment option for pelvic organ prolapse with a vaginal wall muscle layer defect after radical cystectomy.

          Biomechanical and histological evaluation of abdominal wall compliance with intraperitoneal onlay mesh implants in rabbits: a comparison of six different state-of-the-art meshes.

          An ideal prosthetic mesh for incisional hernia repair should mimic the anisotropic compliance of the abdominal wall, and at lower loads should exhibit higher distensibility without impairment of safety at higher loads. This study evaluated the biomechanical properties of six meshes in a rabbit model. New Zealand white rabbits were used for this study. Two meshes of the same brand (Ethicon Physiomesh™, Bard Composix(®) L/P, Gore Dualmesh(®), Bard Sepramesh(®), Ethicon Proceed(®) or Parietex™ Composite) were implanted into each animal for assessment of intra-abdominal hernia repair, with a total of ten meshes per group. Twelve weeks after implantation, the abdominal walls with ingrown meshes were harvested and examined biomechanically with a plunger test. The mesh-tissue compliance was evaluated by the forces exerted at given displacements and also described through a simple mathematical approximation. Abdominal wall samples were collected for histopathology, cell turnover and morphometry. No mesh-related complications were seen. The adhesion score was significantly higher in Bard Composix(®) L/P and Ethicon Proceed(®) meshes. Significant shrinkage was seen in Gore Dualmesh(®) and Parietex™ Composite meshes. Physiomesh™ exhibited the highest compliance during plunger testing, characterized by lower, more physiological reaction forces against tissue displacement than the competitor meshes. In contrast, the safety modulus was comparable in all groups. Histology showed less collagen and less foreign body reaction in the Physiomesh™ samples contributing to patient's comfort. In terms of safety, this study showed no superiority of any single mesh. The comfort modulus however differed, being lowest in the newly developed Physiomesh™. Copyright © 2011 IPEM.

            Transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair of anterior enterocele following cystectomy in females.

            This study aims to highlight pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in females following radical cystectomy and to describe our experiences with their management. This is a retrospective case series of five women who had symptomatic POP following radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion. All patients presented with a midline anterior enterocele with atrophic ulcerated vaginal skin. One patient presented with small bowel evisceration and required an emergency surgical repair. The average time for presentation was 10.6 +/- 6.5 months after cystectomy. In all cases, repair was done via a transvaginal approach. Three patients underwent fascial repair, one colpocleisis, and one bilateral iliococcygeal repair. In three cases, we had to use mesh for reinforcement. Two patients underwent ancillary procedures because of POP recurrence. Surgical repair of POP in women following radical cystectomy is challenging especially if vaginal length is to be maintained. Transvaginal repair is feasible and using synthetic mesh may be necessary.
