Objectives: We sought to describe the perioperative and postoperative adverse events associated with sacral colpopexy andevaluate the surgical outcome, complications, and benefits of laparoscopic sacral fixation for patients with pelvic prolapse.
Methods: Ninety-two women with uterine prolapse underwent sacral colpopexy between January 2011 and September 2016at Chosun University Hospital. Patients’ electronic medical records were investigated for demographic, intraoperative, andpostoperative data. Strict definitions were used for all clinically relevant adverse events. Patients’ outcomes were documented with1 self-administered quality of life questionnaires: the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 focused on symptom distress. The primaryanalysis looking at perioperative and postoperative adverse events was descriptive and statistics were reported for all groupsas n/N (%) with 95% confidence intervals for categorical variables and as mean ± standard deviation and mean (range) for allcontinuous variables.
Results: Their mean age was 69 ± 8.1 years, mean follow-up duration was 12 months, and mean operating time was 61 minutes. There were seven conversions due to anesthetic or surgical difficulties. Follow-up was performed using a telephone questionnaireand physical examination at 12 months. There were three cases of sacral pain with strong analgesics, one of vaginal erosion, twoof transient urinary retentions, one of spondylitis, and two of mesh infection. Of the patients, 98.9% were satisfied with the surgicalresults, while none complained of sexual dysfunction or problems performing her usual activities.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic sacral colpopexy is a feasible and highly effective technique that offers good long-term results withcomplication rates similar to those of open surgery with the added benefit of being minimally invasive. (J Menopausal Med 2017;23:190-195)
