Objectives: We set out to assess long-term anatomical and functional outcomes in women after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for recurrent pelvic organ prolapse.Methods: All women with a history of pelvic organ prolapse surgery operated between 2005 and 2022 were enrolled in this retrospective observational study. The indication for recurrent POP surgery was a symptomatic stage II and above pelvic organ prolapse.
The data from objective urogynecologic examination and subjective patient assessment using validated questionnaires were collected. The last follow-up information was evaluated.
The outcomes were compared with preoperative state using Student t-test and Wilcoxon test, p<0.05 was considered significant.Results: 39 women were enrolled in the study. The rate of perioperative complications was very low; no significant hemorrhage, ureteral damage or conversion to laparotomy were observed.
The mean follow-up was 40 +/- 26.8 months. The postoperative course was not complicated by bowel incarceration, pelvic infection or mesh exposure.
We observed a statistically significant elevation of all POP-Q points and decrease in all mean scores of PFDI, PFIQ, Wexner and VAS prolapse bother postoperatively. Improvement in stress urinary incontinence, anal incontinence and constipation was found.Conclusions: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for recurrent pelvic organ prolapse is a safe and effective surgery regardless of the type of the original repair performed.
It provides good subjective and anatomical outcomes with a lasting effect on the quality of life in a long-term follow-up.
