Research Article: The Outcome of Sacrocolpopexy/Sacrohysteropexy for Patients with Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Predictors of Anatomical Failure
Abstract:
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a medical condition that profoundly impacts women’s quality of life and usually affects middle–aged to older women. It is prevalent in –% of women over the age of years worldwide.– In Saudi Arabia, a cross-sectional study of over women showed a prevalence of .%. The most significant contributing factors were high parity and increasing age. As the population ages, it is expected that the need for pelvic reconstructive surgery will increase as well. Sacrocolpopexy is the standard procedure for apical prolapse correction with a higher success rate, lower recurrence rate, and less dyspareunia than the vaginal approach, with reported success rates of % and %, respectively., However, long-term data of approximately seven years reported a higher prevalence of POP recurrence, about %.– In addition, the CARE trial reported that POP recurrence rates gradually increased with more prolonged follow–up. Furthermore, several reports highlighted that certain complications might only become apparent many years after the initial operation. Moreover, mesh exposure or erosion rate was reported to be % in years of follow–up and as high as .% after seven years.,
