AI Article Synopsis

  • Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP) is evaluated as an outpatient procedure for treating pelvic prolapse, emphasizing its growing importance in ambulatory care.
  • A study at the University Hospital of Strasbourg included women needing LSCP, finding that 28.5% of participants were hospitalized post-surgery, which is considered low.
  • Patients reported high satisfaction levels and no significant decline in quality of life, indicating that LSCP can be safely performed in an outpatient setting with minimal complications.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP) is currently the gold standard surgical technique for treating pelvic prolapse. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in ambulatory care.

Patients And Methods: This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of LSCP in women who visited the outpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University Hospital of Strasbourg between July 2018 and December 2021. All women with indications for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for prolapse treatment who were willing to be treated as outpatients were included. The main criterion of the study was to evaluate the rate of re-hospitalization between discharge from the outpatient department after LSCP and postoperative follow-up consultations.

Results: Among the whole population (57/200, 28.5 %) included, 4 (7 %) were hospitalized. The quality of life was not altered with a preserved EuroQol (EQ-5D) quality of life score with a mean score of 73±18.4 standard deviation (SD) 95 % confidence interval (CI) (67.9; 78.1) on postoperative day 3 (D3) and 91.2 ± 16.3 SD 95 % CI (86.2-96) on D30. On D1, D2, D3, and D7, the anxiety rate evaluated by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory score (STAI Y-A) remained low, with mean scores of 24.8 ± 9.6 SD 95 % [23.4-26.5] on D30. All patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the procedure and outpatient management, with an average score of 9.6/10 (range: 8-10).

Conclusion: This prospective, monocentric study evaluating the feasibility of outpatient LSCP reported demonstrated low rates of complications and re-hospitalization after outpatient management. Furthermore, the patients' quality of life was not altered, and they patients were satisfied with this type of management.

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.

Objectives: Failures and complications associated with treatments comprising laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy (SHP) for advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) are unclear. We compared failure rates associated with SHP and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (SCH)/sacrocolpopexy (SCP) for advanced POP to determine whether they differed.

Methods: Clinical data of patients who underwent SHP (n = 52) and SCH/SCP (n = 209) were retrospectively examined.
