Introduction And Hypothesis: There is a lack of knowledge concerning long-term reoperation and complications after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP). We analyzed the rates and indications and potential risk factors for reoperation after LSCP in a large series of consecutive patients.

Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study including all patients who underwent LSCP between 2003 and 2013. Data regarding pelvic organ prolapse (POP), surgical modalities and perioperative complications were collected. Patients were then contacted by telephone or postal letter in 2014. The main outcome criteria were grade III Dindo classification complications: reoperation for POP recurrence, mesh complications, and urinary incontinence (UI).

Results: Between January 2003 and December 2013, a total of 464 consecutive patients (mean age, 59 years) underwent LSCP. Almost all (99.1 %) patients presented with POP ≥ grade 3 (POP-Q classification). Long-term evaluations were completed for 391 (84.1 %) patients. The median follow-up was 53.5 ± 28.2 months. The global reoperation rate was 12.5 %. The main reoperation indications were UI-related surgery in 21 patients (5.5 %), POP recurrence surgery in 20 patients (5.1 %), and mesh-related surgery in 11 patients (2.8 %). Multivariate analysis showed that older age at the time of initial surgery and concomitant subtotal hysterectomy were significant protective factors against global reoperation (HR = 0.606, CI 95 % [0.451-0.815] and 0.367, CI 95 % [0.193-0.698] respectively) and reduced the risk of POP recurrence surgery.

Conclusion: Prolapse recurrence and mesh-related surgery occurred in 5.1 and 2.8 % of patients respectively, 4 years after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Age and concomitant subtotal hysterectomy could play a role in the incidence of long-term reoperation.

Background: Sacrocolpopexy has become a favored treatment of pelvic organ prolapse due to its durability and efficacy. Sacrocolpopexy has not been standardized and there is no categorization scheme to facilitate communication or research efforts for the procedure. A systematic review was conducted to facilitate construction of a classification system for sacrocolpopexy based on extent of vaginal dissection described in the medical literature.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) during minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for treating uterovaginal prolapse.
  • Results showed no significant difference in overall recurrence of prolapse between the two methods, but TLH had lower odds of recurrence in multivariable analysis.
  • TLH had a higher proportion of mesh exposures with lightweight mesh, but this finding wasn't significant after adjusting for other factors.

Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Sacrohysteropexy with Autologous Fascia Lata.

Int Urogynecol J

December 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Monash University, Clayton, VIC, 3168, Australia.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Autologous fascia lata has been increasingly utilised in pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. This case highlights sacrohysteropexy with autologous fascia lata as a promising option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus and avoid synthetic mesh.

Methods: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse following one forceps and one spontaneous vaginal delivery.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to analyze the quality of sexual life of patients with apical vaginal wall prolapse who had undergone laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC).

Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of sexual outcomes of a previous randomized control trial comparing LLS and LSC in 89 women with symptomatic POP stage ≥ II. We evaluated sexually active (SA) and non-sexually active women (NSA) using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA-Revised (PISQ-IR).

Background: The advantages and disadvantages of Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery (RLS) compared to other minimally invasive surgical approaches are debated in the literature.

Objective: To evaluate the learning curves (LC) and their assessment methods for Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery (RLS) and Laparoscopic Surgery (LPS) in gynaecologic procedures.

Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed including the English language observational or interventional studies reporting the absolute number of procedures needed to achieve competency in RLS and LPS gynaecologic procedures, along with an objective and reproducible LC assessment method.
