Summary
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) during pregnancy is rare. Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy may be a viable surgical option for pregnant women with POP unresponsive to conservative treatments.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Gynecology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is uncommon in pregnancy.
- Surgical correction of POP is effective in non-pregnant women with low complication rates.
- Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy is a recognized treatment for POP.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the clinical outcomes of a pregnant patient who previously underwent laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy.
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy in pregnancy.
Main Methods:
- Case report of a 33-year-old pregnant woman.
- Review of previous laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy.
- Delivery via caesarean section due to breech presentation.
Main Results:
- The patient successfully delivered via caesarean section.
- This case adds to the limited data on pregnancy outcomes after laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy.
Conclusions:
- Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy may be a suitable intervention for pregnant women with refractory POP and future fertility desires.
- Further research with long-term follow-up is needed to validate these findings.
