Objectives: Our purpose was (1). to report long-term objective and subjective outcome data after total colpocleisis with high levator plication and (2). to compare operative morbidity of total colpocleisis in patients with prior versus concurrent hysterectomy.
Study Design: The medical records of patients who underwent total colpocleisis with high levator plication between August 1, 1988, and December 31, 2000, were retrospectively reviewed. Patient characteristics, operative data, and objective outcome measures including pelvic organ prolapse staging measurements were obtained from subject records. Subjective outcome measures were obtained by a standardized telephone survey. A t test was used to compare continuous variables between patients who underwent prior versus concurrent hysterectomy. The Fisher exact test was used to test for association between patient group and each categorical variable.
Results: During the 12-year study period, 92 subjects underwent total colpocleisis with high levator plication. Of the 92 subjects, 90 (97.8%) underwent concurrent operations and 37 (40.2%) underwent simultaneous hysterectomy. With objective cure defined as absence of prolapse to the hymen, 90 subjects (97.8%) were objectively cured after a median follow-up of 12 months (range, 0-64 months). Of 62 subjects available for telephone follow-up, 56 (90.3%) reported being satisfied or very satisfied with how the surgery cured their prolapse after a median follow-up of 24 months (range, 13-161 months). Concurrent hysterectomy was associated with statistically significant increases in absolute change in hematocrit (9.5% without vs 11.9% with hysterectomy) and transfusion requirement (12.7% without vs 35.1% with hysterectomy). There was no significant difference in surgical complications between groups.
Conclusion: Total colpocleisis is an effective operation for the treatment of advanced pelvic organ prolapse. Concurrent hysterectomy is associated with higher blood loss and transfusion requirements.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to investigate the incidence and risk factors of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in elderly women undergoing colpocleisis for pelvic organ prolapse and to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the Caprini scores.
Methods: Data from patients who underwent colpocleisis from August 2019 to April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was DVT detected by ultrasonography within 7 days of surgery.

Department of Urology, Nihon University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Introduction And Hypothesis: This study evaluated the association between pelvic organ prolapse (POP), frailty, and sarcopenia to explore how POP treatment can extend healthy life expectancy in elderly women.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of prospectively collected data, comparing women with mild POP (stages 0-II) with those with advanced POP (stages III and IV). The inclusion criteria for this study were women who visited the clinic with at least one symptom of pelvic floor dysfunction and underwent imaging studies between April 2020 and November 2022.
The "Repeat Colpocleisis": A Literature Review and Case Report.

Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, 1000 W Carson Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, 90502, USA.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Colpocleisis is a surgical procedure intended to treat pelvic organ prolapse. Compared with other modes of pelvic reconstructive surgery, colpocleisis is associated with lower morbidity and higher satisfaction, and has a success rate of 91-100% and a reoperation rate of less than 2%. However, there is limited information on how to treat recurrent prolapse after colpocleisis.
