“…Previous reports of pubic osteomyelitis associated with bone anchors described symptoms presenting 10 days to 12 months postoperatively with typical pathogens including Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Citrobacter, and Pseudomonas [1][2][3][4][5]. After a thorough search utilizing Medline and Pubmed of all pertinent literature of the English language, we were unable to find any previous reports of pubic osteomyelitis caused by Actinomyces.…”

Previous reports of pubic osteomyelitis associated with bone anchors describe symptoms presenting 10 days to 12 months postoperatively with typical pathogens including Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Citrobacter, and Pseudomonas (Fitzgerald et al., Int Urogynecol J 10:346-348, 1999 Enzler et al., J Bone Jt Surg Am 81-A(12):1736-1740, 1999; Graham and Dmochowski, J Urol 168:2055-2058, 2004; Fialkow et al., Urology 64(6):1127-1132, 2004; Matkov et al., J Urol 160(4):1427, 1998). This case illustrates the potential for protracted symptoms and delayed diagnosis of pubic osteomyelitis with the fastidious pathogen of Actinomyces meyeri.

Complications of anterior compartment vaginal surgery

Many complications can be associated with anterior compartment surgery of the vagina. With the integration of synthetic materials into the surgical armamentarium for the repair of stress urinary incontinence in the form of midurethral slings, and for the repair of vaginal prolapse as a primary procedure or to augment an existing repair, the spectrum of complications related to this type of surgery is evolving. Fortunately, these complications are mostly preventable, readily recognized, and/or reversible.

“…Methods such as transvaginal needle suspension and, more recently, transvaginal slings have achieved attention for their minimal invasiveness and relatively good short-term success rates [72,73]. However, concerns regarding the use of synthetic materials about the urethra [69], complications from the use of bone anchors [74], and lack of longterm follow-up detract from its appeal. Laparoscopy has been explored as an alternative, which potentially offers the support advantage of a retropubic colposuspension without a large incision.…”

A transperitoneal laparoscopic approach to endourology

Although endoscopic methods have become the preferred means of management for many diseases facing the genitourinary surgeon, a laparoscopic approach might be considered comparable or advantageous in select circumstances. In the literature, laparoscopists reporting their work have favored the transperitoneal approach; however, there are clear advantages and disadvantages to both transperitoneal and retroperitoneal laparoscopy. Intracorporeal suturing remains the most time-consuming aspect of reconstructive surgery, and research emphasis has been on suturing devices and novel anastomotic techniques. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is efficacious and should be considered, particularly in the case of a capacious renal pelvis, crossing vessel, or failed previous endopyelotomy. Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy is uniquely suitable for patients with aberrant anatomy, such as a horseshoe kidney, and may be performed concurrently with pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The use of laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation awaits further development in both open and subtrigonal injection techniques. Its use in colposuspension is undetermined and requires further study as suturing technology improves. During laparoscopic exploration, it is possible to address intraoperative injuries to the ureter and bladder laparoscopically. In summary, laparoscopic surgery of the urinary tract is a "work in progress," but it offers promise for some of the most challenging of circumstances. As the technology advances and the clinical experience widens, the indications and contraindications for these techniques will be better established.
