Long-term efficacy of transvaginal high uterosacral ligament suspension for middle-compartment defect-based pelvic organ prolapse.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aim to assess the long-term efficacy of transvaginal high uterosacral ligament suspension (HUS) procedure for middle compartment defect-based pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Methods

We performed a retrospective review of 84 women with middle-compartment defect-based POP who underwent transvaginal HUS as the primary surgical treatment without mesh augmentation from January 2007 to January 2019. All 84 patients manifested ≥ grade-II middle-compartment defect-based POP. Follow-up visits were performed 2, 6 and 12 months after surgery and then annually, including questionnaires and clinical examination using pelvic organ prolapse quantitation system (POP-Q). Surgical success required to fulfill all three of these criteria: (I) anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolap
