Abstract

INTRODUCTION

We aimed to share intraoperative and postoperative results of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.

METHODS

Demographic data such as age, body mass index, parity, past operations and operative data such as duration of operation, intraoperative complications, management type of these complications, estimated blood loss, and hospital stay were analyzed in 21 patients who underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy between January 2016 and December 2017.

RESULTS

The mean age of the patients included in the study was 54,3±2,43, the mean parity was 3 (1-6) and the most frequent previous surgical operation was cesarean section. In the preoperative examination 8 (38%) patients had POP stage II, 11 (52.3%) had stage III and two had (9.5%) stage IV. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) with total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TLH / BSO) were applied to the eleven (52.3%) patients and the operation period was 138±23.9 min and TLH / LSC was applied to five patients (23.8%) and the operation time was 136±38,1 min. The operation time of only LSC patients was calculated as 58±26.7 min. The overall complication rate was 14.2% and there was no patient required to reoperate with the cause of symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse during follow-up

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

Known advantages of laparoscopy include fewer blood loss, fewer hospital stay, fewer wound infections. Operative and postoperative data of the patients included in the study were consistent with the literature. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse may be offered as a good option.
