Objective:
To evaluate the feasibility of outpatient laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy surgery.
Methods:
A prospective analysis was carried out in one center from May 2014 to July 2015. The main outcome was the success of day care, meaning no hospitalization, consultation to a doctor or emergency during the first 48h following the surgery. Patients requiring laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with eligibility for day care were included. The patients were not included if they didn't match to the administrative or medical criteria of ambulatory, or if they refused ambulatory surgery. The postoperative consultation was 1 month after surgery, the satisfaction was assessed by phone call two months after surgery.
Results:
We included 14 patients during the study. One patient stayed the night (7.1%). The median operative time of the surgery was 95minutes (70-168minutes), no complication occurred. Ten patients of 13 (76.9%) were very satisfied or satisfied of day care.
Conclusion:
With 71% of satisfaction and only one patient who stayed the night, outpatient laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy surgery seems to be feasible.
Level Of Evidence:
4.
