Characteristics Associated With Surgical Failure After Native Tissue Apical Prolapse Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify clinical and demographic characteristics associated with prolapse recurrence by 12 months after native tissue transvaginal repair.

Methods

This was a planned secondary analysis of a randomized trial including postmenopausal participants with stage 2 or greater apical or anterior vaginal prolapse scheduled for surgical repair at three U.S. sites. Participants underwent vaginal hysterectomy (if uterus was present) and standardized uterosacral or sacrospinous ligament suspension at the surgeon's discretion. The intervention was perioperative (5 weeks or more preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively) vaginal estrogen compared with placebo cream. The primary outcome was time to failure by 12 months after surgery, defined by objective prolapse of the ante
