Comparative outcomes of laparoscopic lateral suspension, sacrocolpopexy, and transvaginal mesh for advanced apical prolapse: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare perioperative outcomes and long-term anatomical/functional efficacy of laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS), laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC), and transvaginal mesh (TVM) procedures in women with POP-Q stage III-IV apical prolapse.

Methods

This retrospective cohort included 98 participants undergoing surgical repair between 1/1/2021 and 30/12/2021: 34 TVM, 35 LSC, and 29 LLS. Concomitant hysterectomy or uterine preservation was performed based on clinical indications. Anatomical outcomes were assessed via Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) measurements, while functional outcomes and quality of life (QoL) were evaluated using Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire (PFDI-20) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) questionnaires p
