Lateral suspension vs. sacral colpopexy for treating pelvic organ prolapse: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Although sacral colpopexy is considered the gold standard for correcting apical prolapse, it is associated with extended operative times and surgical complications. An alternative surgical approach is currently being investigated. This meta-analysis aims to summarize and compare the available data on laparoscopic sacral colpopexy (LSCP) and laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) as per the Dubuisson technique.

Methods

A systematic search of PubMed (MEDLINE) and Google Scholar was conducted from the inception of each database until December 2024. Studies comparing LSCP and LLS on at least one efficacy outcome selected. Objective or subjective success rate, surgery-related data and follow-up data were extracted. Results were pooled using a random-effect meta-analysis.
