Objective: To evaluate the 10-year outcomes of high uterosacral ligaments suspension as a primary repair for apical prolapse and to evaluate the long-term impact of prognostic factors.
Methods: A retrospective study analyzed 10-year follow up after repair of primary apical prolapse through high uterosacral ligament suspension. Bulging symptoms and postoperative prolapse stage II or above were considered subjective and objective recurrences, respectively. Patient Global Impression of Improvement score was used to evaluate subjective satisfaction after surgery.
Results: A total of 287 women were analyzed. Ten-year recurrence rates were 19.1% for objective recurrence and 6.3% for subjective recurrence; surgical retreatment rate was 2.1%. Premenopausal status was related to 15-fold increased risk of developing either objective or subjective recurrence. Conversely, anterior and posterior repair were protective factors against reoperation.
Conclusion: High uterosacral ligaments suspension is a safe and long-lasting effective procedure for the treatment of uterovaginal prolapse even 10 years after index surgery. Premenopausal status and lack of anterior and posterior repair represented long-term risk factors for surgical failure.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a debilitating condition that diminishes quality of life, and it has been linked to pregnancy and aging. Injury of the uterosacral ligaments (USLs), which provide apical support to the pelvic organs, is a major cause of uterine prolapse. In this study, we examined the effect of pregnancy and age on the apparent elastic modulus, susceptibility to collagen damage, and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition of the murine USL.

Importance: Electrosurgical vessel sealing devices for vaginal hysterectomy have demonstrated reduced postoperative pain. This modality, however, has not been evaluated in patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic reconstruction.
Objective: The aim of the study was to describe postoperative pain levels utilizing the LigaSure vessel sealing device for vaginal hysterectomy in patients undergoing major reconstructive surgery.

This study investigated patient pain descriptors for transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) diagnostic evaluation of endometriosis for uterosacral ligaments (USLs), including correlation between USL thickness and site-specific tenderness (SST). It further investigated if SST could positively assist diagnosing endometriosis on TVS. TVS images and SST pain descriptors were collected from 42 patients.

Background: Dyspareunia, defined as pain before, during or after intercourse, is a subset of female sexual dysfunction with overlapping gynecologic, urologic and psychosocial etiologies.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of menstrual pain and visceral hypersensitivity on sexual function and to identify risk factors for sexual pain in healthy reproductive-age females.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we evaluated gynecologic and psychologic self-reported histories, validated sexual function questionnaires, and conducted a standardized gynecologic examination enhanced by quantitative sensory testing in reproductive-aged females with menstrual pain versus pain-free controls.
