Vaginal morphology and position associated with prolapse recurrence after vaginal surgery: A secondary analysis of the DEMAND study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify vaginal morphology and position factors associated with prolapse recurrence following vaginal surgery.

Design

Secondary analysis of magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the Defining Mechanisms of Anterior Vaginal Wall Descent cross-sectional study.

Setting

Eight clinical sites in the US Pelvic Floor Disorders Network.

Population or sample

Women who underwent vaginal mesh hysteropexy (hysteropexy) with sacrospinous fixation or vaginal hysterectomy with uterosacral ligament suspension (hysterectomy) for uterovaginal prolapse between April 2013 and February 2015.

Methods

The MRI (rest, strain) obtained 30-42 months after surgery, or earlier for participants with recurrence who desired reoperation before 30 months, were analysed. MRI-base
