AI 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.

Article Abstract

Importance: Limited data exist comparing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) versus laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for uterovaginal prolapse.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare TLH versus LSCH at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for uterovaginal prolapse, hypothesizing that LSCH would demonstrate a higher proportion of recurrent prolapse, but a lower proportion of mesh exposures.

Study Design: This was a retrospective, secondary analysis comparing a prospective cohort of patients undergoing TLH sacrocolpopexy versus a retrospective cohort of patients who had undergone LSCH sacrocolpopexy. Our primary outcome was composite anatomic pelvic organ prolapse recurrence (prolapse beyond hymen, apical descent > half vaginal length, retreatment). Secondary outcomes included vaginal mesh exposures.

Results: There were 733 procedures: 184 (25.1%) TLH sacrocolpopexy and 549 (74.9%) LSCH sacrocolpopexy. Median follow-up was longer in the TLH cohort (369 [IQR 354-386] vs 190 [IQR 63-362] days, P < 0.01). There was no difference in composite prolapse recurrence between groups on bivariable analysis (3.3% vs 4.7%, P = 0.40). However, multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that TLH sacrocolpopexy had lower odds of composite pelvic organ prolapse recurrence than LSCH sacrocolpopexy (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.05-0.82, P = 0.02). Among procedures with lightweight mesh types, TLH demonstrated a higher proportion of mesh exposures compared to LSCH (10 [5.4%] vs 4 [1.1%], P < 0.01); however, this was not significant after controlling for confounders (OR 4.51, 95% CI 0.88-39.25, P = 0.08). There were no differences in retreatment or reoperation.

Conclusion: For the treatment of uterovaginal prolapse, both TLH and LSCH are acceptable methods of concomitant hysterectomy at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, albeit with likely different risk profiles.

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may predict outcomes in end-stage liver disease, but its value after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is unclear. This study explored the link between NLR and long-term outcomes in decompensated cirrhosis patients post-TIPS. We retrospectively analyzed 184 patients treated between January 2016 and December 2021, noting demographic data, lab results, and follow-up outcomes, including liver transplantation or death.

Background: Obesity, characterized by excessive adipose tissue, is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and elevated inflammatory markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). This inflammation is linked to obesity-associated medical problems, including cardiovascular diseases. One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has emerged as an effective metabolic and bariatric surgical procedure to address severe obesity and its associated inflammatory state.

Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery for mitral regurgitation is challenging in patients with narrow chests due to limited thoracic space. The butterfly technique can prevent systolic anterior motion in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation and redundant posterior leaflets, but it is difficult to perform via minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Few reports have described mitral valve repair using the butterfly technique or in a narrow chest.
