Medium-Term Anatomical and Functional Results of Isolated Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy for Female Pelvic Organ Prolapse during the Early Learning Curve.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic repair of female pelvic organ prolapse is a technically challenging surgery, especially for the beginners.

METHODS: We performed a follow-up study of women who underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy or sacrohysteropexy (LSCP/LSHP) for pelvic organ prolapse between January 2015 and October 2019. We analysed anatomical and subjective success rates, peri-operative complications and medium-term complications.

RESULTS: Twenty women underwent LSCP/LSHP with average follow-up of 16 months. Anatomical success rate was 95%, and subjective success rate was 90%. Blood loss averaged at 24 ml. Majority of women (90%) reported improvement in their symptoms and 10% reported no change in symptoms. There were no mesh complications.

CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is an effective and safe surgery for female pelvic organ prolapse even by beginners.
