    Introduction and hypothesis Sacrocolpopexy is considered to be the gold-standard procedure for apical compartment prolapse. However, complications such as sacral hemorrhage, small bowel obstruction, port site herniation, mesh erosion, mesh exposure, and occasionally discitis may occur. The aim of this study is to show laparoscopic treatment of L5-S1 discitis 3 months following laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Methods Two surgical interventions of a case with narrated video footage is presented. Results Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy following hysterectomy in the first part and re-laparoscopy because of a diagnosis of discitis refractory to medical treatment, and removal of mesh along with anterior L5-S1 discectomy for curative debridement in the second part is demonstrated. Conclusion Frequency of postoperative discitis has been increased by the widespread use of a laparoscopic approach. In order to reduce the complication rate, surgical technique allowing the needle to penetrate only the depth of the anterior longitudinal ligament and usage of monofilament suture for mesh attachment is recommended. In treatment, removal of the sacral mesh, and even extensive tissue debridement, may be necessary.

    Bone Cement Leakage in Transpedicular Percutaneous Vertebroplasty: Analysis of 20 Patients
    (2018) Civi, Soner; Durdag, Emre; Suner, Halil Ibrahim; Kardes, Ozgur; Tufan, Kadir; 0000-0002-1055-5152; 0000-0003-2854-941X; 0000-0001-6939-5491; 0000-0002-5957-8611; 0000-0003-1509-4575; U-2400-2018; P-5895-2018; AAK-1734-2021; AAJ-5381-2021; AAK-1686-2021
    Objective: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is one of the frequently preferred interventional methods in spinal surgery. Although it is classified as minimally invasive, the most common complication of this procedure is bone cement leakage. Leakage of bone cement is often asymptomatic, but can lead to serious complications such as paraplegia and pulmonary embolism. In this study, we aimed to investigate the complications and consequences of cement leakage in the percutaneous vertebroplasty procedure. Methods: Between 2009 and 2015, 20 (14 female and 6 male, mean age 69.7) patients who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty to 26 vertebrae were included in the study. 17 vertebrae were treated for osteoporotic compression (65.3%), 4 vertebrae for pathologic compression fractures (15.3%), 4 vertebrae for traumatic compression fractures (15.3%) and 1 vertebrae for painful hemangioma (3.8%). Leakage localizations of bone cement were classified as venous plexus, paravertebral soft tissue, spinal canal, intervertebral foramen, into the niddle channel and intervertebral disc space. Results: Twelve vertebrae showed no leakage (46.1%). 5 vertebrae had leakage into the niddle channel (19.2%), and 3 had leakage to vertebra disc space leakage (11.5%) and 2 vertebrae had to venous plexus and paravertebral tissue leakage (7.6%) Foraminal and spinal canal leakage (3.8%) was observed in one patient on single level. Radicular pain was seen in one patient. Partial pain control was observed in 20% of the patients while 80% of the patients had complete pain control on follow ups. Conclusion: Major complications following percutaneous vertebroplasty are mostly due to bone cement leaks. In order to prevent major complications, it is necessary to determine the possible causes of leakage. Performing the application with the correct technique with properly prepared bone cement is essential. Also usage of contast dye may be useful for pre-injection risk of leakage complications.
