Preliminary Results of a Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial for Laparoscopic Repair of Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Sacropexy vs. Laparoscopic Lateral Suspension.

ABSTRACT: Background: Laparoscopic sacropexy (SCL) is the gold standard technique for the correction of apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). However, other easier laparoscopic techniques, such as laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS), have become popular. Methods: We conducted a multicenter randomized study of patients undergoing laparoscopic repair of apical and anterior prolapse. Patients were randomized into two groups: LLS vs. SCL. A non-inferiority study was proposed, in which the null hypothesis was that the difference in the proportion of therapeutic failures among women who undergo LLS compared to SCL is ≥15%. It was necessary to include 182 participants to detect a risk difference of 15% after one year with a statistical power of 0.80. Results: We recruited 176 women, of
