SETTING: Genital graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a known possible complication of bone marrow transplant (BMT). This condition can lead to vaginal obliteration, affecting sexual performance and quality of life. OBJECTIVES: To provide a brief overview of non-congenital causes of vaginal obliteration and stenosis, discuss a unique case of vaginal agglutination in a patient who developed genital GVHD after receiving a BMT, and present the steps of a laparoscopic total hysterectomy and lysis of vaginal adhesions that successfully restored vaginal patency without the need for grafting...

OBJECTIVE: Uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) is one of the most frequently used operations for the restoration of apical support in women with uterovaginal prolapse. However, existing studies are inconclusive as to whether and which surgical access route is superior. The aim of the present meta-analysis is tentatively to compare the efficiency and the postoperative complications of laparoscopic uterosacral ligament suspension (L-USLS) and vaginal uterosacral ligament suspension (V-USLS), highlighting that current evidence remains inconclusive regarding the superiority of either surgical access route...
