Purpose: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery is performed with and without concomitant hysterectomy depending on a variety of factors. The objective was to compare 30-day major complications following POP surgery with and without concomitant hysterectomy.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) multicenter database to compare 30-day complications using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for POP with or without concomitant hysterectomy. Patients were grouped by procedure: Vaginal prolapse repair (VAGINAL), minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (MISC), and open abdominal sacrocolpopexy (OASC). 30-day postoperative complications and other relevant data were evaluated in patients who underwent concomitant hysterectomy compared to those who did not. Multivariable logistic regression models assessed the association of concomitant hysterectomy on 30-day major complications stratified by surgical approach.

Results: 60,201 women undergoing POP surgery comprised our cohort. Within 30 days of surgery, there were 1722 major complications in 1432 patients (2.4%). Prolapse surgery alone had a significantly lower overall complication rate than with concomitant hysterectomy (1.95% vs 2.81%; p < .001). Multivariable analysis revealed odds of complications following POP surgery was higher among women who underwent concomitant hysterectomy compared to those who did not have hysterectomy in VAGINAL (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.36-1.72), OASC (OR 2.70, 95% CI 1.69-4.33), and overall (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.31-1.62), but not in MISC (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.67-1.46.) CONCLUSION: Concomitant hysterectomy at the time of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery increases the risk of 30-day postoperative complications in comparison to prolapse surgery alone in our overall cohort.

Frailty and pelvic organ prolapse: Colpocleisis with or without hysterectomy as a treatment modality in elderly patients.

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol

Ruth and Bruce Rappaport, Faculty of Medicine, Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel; Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Carmel Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.

Introduction: The rising prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in the aging population underscores the need to reevaluate treatment options. This study examines obliterative procedures, specifically colpocleisis performed with (CH) and without (C) concomitant vaginal hysterectomy, as management strategies for frail, non-sexually active elderly patients with advanced prolapse.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from patients who underwent either colpocleisis with concomitant vaginal hysterectomy (CH) or colpocleisis alone (C) at our institution between 2006 and 2020.

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.

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.

Section of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, DC (Dr. Sokol).

Study Objective: The primary objective of this study was to describe vaginal hysterectomy practice patterns as well as facilitators and inhibitors to performing vaginal hysterectomy among gynecologic surgeons. Secondary objectives were to describe facilitators and inhibitors to the teaching and training of vaginal hysterectomy.

Design: A quantitative analysis of an online survey and qualitative analyses of the one-on-one interviews with gynecologic surgeons were conducted.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is a recognized treatment for apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). However, mesh erosion remains a concern, particularly when performed with concomitant hysterectomy. This video presents data on one case of a modified technique aimed at potentially minimizing mesh erosion in robotic SCP.
