Study Objective:
To evaluate the postoperative anatomic and functional outcomes of patients who underwent laparoscopic nerve-sparing sacrocolpopexy or sacrocervicopexy for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) POP-Q stage III and IV apical prolapse, and to delineate the contributing factors for recurrence.
Study Design And Classification:
The file records of patients who underwent sacropexy in the last five years were reviewed retrospectively and compared in terms of preoperative and postoperative anatomic findings and symptoms.
Patients:
Patients who underwent laparoscopic nerve-sparing surgery for treatment of POP-Q Stage III and IV/prolapse of uterine or vaginal cuff were included.
Interventions:
Postoperative anatomic and functional outcomes were evaluated using POP-Q classification and urinary/anal function by questioning during visits.
Results:
The mean follow-up duration was 24.2 ± 17.6 months. Anatomic recovery was achieved in 104 (90.4 %) cases. Advanced age (≥70 years), longer duration of symptoms, and low body mass index were determined as parameters related to recurrence risk.
