Introduction and hypothesis
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a frequent occurring health issue, especially concerning elderly women. The objective of this study is to examine the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy (LSH) and vaginal sacrospinous hysteropexy (SSHP) for treatment of uterine prolapse.
Methods
A retrospective study of patients who underwent a LSH or SSHP. Validated questionnaires and an outpatient examination visit were used to investigate the effects of both surgical treatments. The primary outcome was the composite outcome of success for the apical compartment, defined as no recurrence of uterine prolapse (POP-Q measurement C ≤ 0), no subjective recurrence of POP, and/or not requiring therapy for recurrent prolapse. Secondary outcomes were peri- and postoperative data, anatomical failure, prolapse beyond hymen, subjective outcomes, and disease-specific quality of life.
Results
We included 105 patients, 53 in the LSH group and 52 in the SSHP group. The overall response rate of the questionnaires was 83% (
n
= 87) after a mean follow-up time of 4.5 years (54.2 months; 95% CI 44.8–64.2 months) in the LSH group and 2.5 years (30.1 months; 95% CI 29.3–31.5 months) in the SSHP group. There were no clinically relevant differences between the study groups in composite outcome of success (
p
= 0.073), anatomical failure of the apical compartment (
p
= 0.711), vaginal bulge symptoms for which patients consulted professionals (
p
= 0.126), and patient satisfaction (
p
= 0.741). The operative time was longer in the LSH group (117 min; interquartile range (IQR) 110–123) compared to the SSHP group (67 minutes; IQR 60–73) (
p
< 0.001). The duration of hospital stay was also longer in the LSH group (4 days) than in the SSHP group (3 days) (
p
= 0.006).
Conclusions
LSH and SSHP seem to be equally effective after long-term follow-up in treating uterine prolapse in terms of objective and subjective recurrence.
