Transvaginal extraperitoneal single-port laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for apical prolapse after total/subtotal hysterectomy: Chinese surgeons' initial experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To introduce a novel technique of transvaginal extraperitoneal single-port laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (ESLS) for apical prolapse and to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of this technique.

Methods

Sixteen patients were enrolled to undergo ESLS between January 2020 and May 2021. Perioperative outcomes were included. Short-term results were assessed by Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) scores, mesh exposure and prolapse recurrence.

Results

A total of 14/16 cases (87.5%) were successfully completed. The mean operation time was 118 min (range 85-160), and the mean blood loss was 68 ml (range 20-100). The mean postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain score at 24 h was 0.7. No intraopera
