[Anatomic and functional results after surgical treatment of uro genital prolapse: prospective study about 93 cases].

Background: genital polapse is a frequent olisease several techniques were described.

Aim: To evaluate the anatomical and functional results of surgery for genital prolapse by vaginal and abdominal approach.

Methods: Prospective study on 93 patients operated for urogenital prolapse (50 by high and 43 vaginal approach) in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Sfax. Anatomic results and postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed. Quality of life was assessed using the French versions of the questionnaires Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI 20), Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PISQ 7).

Results: The mean age of patients was 59 years. 85.9% of our population consisted of postmenopausal women. The results of the postoperative visit, after a mean of 28.7 months, showed about the anatomical level, a success rate for the treatment of prolapse by high 82% against 72.1% for vaginal delivery, but the difference is not significant (P = 0.45). For prolapse of grades 1 and 2, surgical treatment by high and low has corrected all the elements of prolapse. For prolapse of grades 3 and 4, high surgery has resulted in a satisfactory anatomical result in 86%, while the lower channel yielded a significant result in 76.5%, and recurrence were interested mainly the anterior stage. The questionnaire PFDI 20, showed an improvement in the quality of life after surgery significantly in both groups (p<0.003). The improvement was more significant PFDI 20 after surgery by high versus vaginal surgery (p <0.002). Regarding PFIQ 7, improved quality of life was observed after surgery without significant differences between the two groups.

Conclusion: The treatment of urogenital prolapse is mainly based on surgical and reconstructive surgery to restore anatomical and functional surgery also in order to improve the quality of life of patients.
