Transvaginal bladder neck suspension by Raz is an acceptable procedure for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence with high cure rate, operative simplicity, short hospitalization and little morbidity. Recently we experienced 8 cases of stress urinary incontinence treated with Raz's procedure and 2 cases with coexisting cystocele were treated with 4-corner operation. All cases have been assessed prior to and following operation and the results were satisfactory. Herein, we report 10 cases of stress urinary incontinence treated by Raz's procedure and 4-corner operation with review of literatures.

Paraurethral cysts in female patients have distinctive histologic characteristics based upon their etiopathogenesis, which may be acquired or congenital. One patient is presented with discussion of the embryology of the lower genitourinary in the female subject. Important differential diagnostic considerations in infants and adults are ectopic ureterocele, urethral diverticula, cystocele and paraurethral tumors. IVP, VCUG, cystourethroscopy are necessary to differentiate these lesions. We have treated a case of paraurethral cyst with complete excision.

A paraurethral cyst is a rare congenital or acquired abnormality in females that is characterized by a round, yellow or orange-colored cystic mass on either side of the urethral meatus. We report a patient who presented with frequent, postvoiding dribbling. The important differential diagnostic considerations in infants and adults are an ectopic ureterocele, urethral diverticulum, cystocele and paraurethral tumors. Intravenous pyelography, voiding cystourethrogram, cystourethroscopy are essential for differentiating these lesions. This case of a paraurethral cyst was treated with complete excision.

A rate com;lication of hysterectomy is complete prolapse and inversion of vagina. This can occur whether the hysterectomy was abdominal or vaginal and cystocele and/or enterocele is often associated with this condition. Traditionally, prolapse has been treated by surgery, the types of operation for prolapse are generally but not always, carried out through the vaginal rather than through the abdominal surgical route. We experienced five cases who had repair of posthysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse by transabdominal sacral colpopexy and report with brief review of literatures.

A rare case of vaginal tuberculosis is reported. A 42-year-old woman referred to our hospital for surgical treatment of a cystocele presented with vaginal mass for 2 months. Pelvic examination revealed a cystic mass at anterior vagianl wall. Her initial diagnosis was urethral diverticulum. Surgical excision was performed and pathological analysis of the specimen revealed tuberculosis. She was treated with antituberculous drugs. We emphasize the need to maintain a high index of suspicion and to biopsy any suspicious vaginal lesion in the diagnosis of vaginal tuberculosis.

A cystocele is present when the bladder base descends below the inferior ramus of the symphysis pubis either at rest or with straining. A severe cystocele can combined with voiding difficulty, back pain, hydronephrosis, and renal failure and it must be corrected surgically. We report a case of grade IV cystocele with unilateral hydronephrosis which was incidentally found in 67-year-old female. She was asymptomatic and underwent cystocele repair using prolene mesh and TVT (Tension-free Vaginal Tape). The left hydronephrosis and marked cystocele were normalized 3 months after operation.

PURPOSE: Because of the disappointing long-term results of transvaginal bladder neck suspension surgery for anatomical incontinence (AI), a pubovaginal sling, which was formerly operated for sphincteric incontinence (SI), was used to treat AI. The results of the pubovaginal sling for treating AI and the risk factors that affect the result were evaluated. MATERIALS AND MTHODS: A total 39 women with AI underwent a pubovaginal fascial sling using a strip of autologous rectus muscle fascia. The urethral sphincteric function was assessed by measuring the Valsalva leak point pressure. Fifteen patients has type I and 24 patients type II stress incontinence. The results of the pubovaginal sling were compared with those of 51 women who received the Raz precedure. The risk factors for the pubovaginal fascial sling were evaluated. RESULTS: The success rate of an autologous pubovaginal sling (95.6%) at mean follow-up period of (21 months) was significantly higher than that of the Raz bladder neck suspension (80.4%) during the same follow-up period (p<0.05). The success rate of the Raz procedure - 80.4%, 70.8% and 60.7% at 21, 36, 72 months - was decreased after months. The predictive factors for the pubovaginal sling - the number of deliveries, history of hystectomy, the type of stress incontinence, cystocele, urge incontinence, and age - had no significant effect on the success rate of the pubovaginal sling (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: A pubovaginal fascial sling may be an effective surgical treatment not only for treating sphincteric incontinence but also anatomical incontinence.

Ever since Pereyra described needle suspension of the bladder neck as a form of surgical therapy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women numerous modifications have been presented. Each of these modifications has helped to found healthy anatomical and surgical principles that ensure patient safety, decrease morbidity and improve effectiveness. We had treated 8 patients of stress urinary incontinence with or without cystocele by transvaginal Burch procedure. By fixing suspension sutures to the Cooper`s ligament we expected to achieve a static suspension independent of everyday patients` activities. The duration of follow up was 3 months to 6 months. Them were no serious operative complications. Incontinence was completely disappeared in 6 patients (75%) and significantly improved in 1 patient (12.5%), and failed in 1 patients (12.5%). Although the small number of patients and limited follow up, we believe that fixation of suspension sutures to the Cooper`s ligament can favorably influence long-term results of treatment for female stress urinary incontinence.

The bladder is involved in less than 4% of inguinal hernias. Inguinoscrotal bladder hernias are difficult to diagnose, and less than 7% are diagnosed preoperatively. Inguinoscrotal bladder hernias are usually asymptomatic. However, they can result in significant complications, such as bladder necrosis or acute renal failure. Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid bladder injury during surgery and other complications. Here we report the case of a 64-year-old man who presented with a scrotal mass. Ultrasonography of the scrotal mass showed a nonspecific cystic mass. During surgery, the mass was revealed to be a herniated bladder.
