Risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse recurrence after sacrospinous hysteropexy or vaginal hysterectomy with uterosacral ligament suspension.

Background: Given that the number of surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse is expected to increase worldwide, knowledge on risk factors for prolapse recurrence is of importance for developing preventive strategies and shared decision-making.

Objective: To identify risk factors for subjective and objective failure after either sacrospinous hysteropexy or vaginal hysterectomy with uterosacral ligament suspension over a period of 5 years after surgery.

Study Design: This was a secondary analysis of the 5-year follow-up of the SAVE-U trial.
