Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

29
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Summary

Laparoscopic sacral hysteropexy (LSHP) is a safe uterus-sparing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women desiring future pregnancy. Pregnancy did not significantly impact POP recurrence after LSHP, supporting its use for fertility preservation.

Area of Science:

  • Urogynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Increasing demand for fertility-sparing treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
  • Laparoscopic hysteropexy offers a uterus-preserving surgical option for POP.
  • Need to understand pregnancy outcomes after hysteropexy for patient counseling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the impact of pregnancy and delivery on POP recurrence after laparoscopic hysteropexy.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of uterus-sparing surgery for POP in women desiring future fertility.
  • To inform patient counseling regarding fertility preservation and POP treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases until January 2025.
  • Inclusion of case reports and case series on laparoscopic sacral hysteropexy (LSHP) for POP.
  • Analysis of pregnancy and delivery outcomes in women who underwent LSHP.

Main Results:

  • Review included 26 patients from 10 case reports and 3 case series, all treated with LSHP.
  • All patients delivered via cesarean section at a mean gestational age of 38 weeks.
  • Low recurrence rates observed: 4% recurrent uterine prolapse, 8% de novo anterior prolapse, 8% recurrent anterior prolapse, 4% posterior prolapse over 9 months follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic sacral hysteropexy (LSHP) appears safe for women of reproductive age with POP and incomplete family planning.
  • Pregnancy following LSHP does not seem to negatively impact fetal growth or long-term apical support.
  • Further research is crucial to establish definitive safety and efficacy data for subsequent pregnancies after uterus-sparing POP surgery.
