Outcomes following sacrocolpopexy using ultralight and lightweight mesh.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and hypothesis

This study reports the long-term anatomic and subjective outcomes following sacrocolpopexy based on mesh weight and provides device-specific data.

Methods

This cohort study compared ultra-lightweight (≤ 20 g/m²) with lightweight mesh (≥ 25 g/m²). The primary outcome was composite failure defined as at least one of ≥ stage 2 apical prolapse, anterior or posterior vaginal wall beyond hymen, complaint of bulge or retreatment. Effect measure estimates were calculated as the incidence rate ratio of composite failure comparing the use of ultra-light with lightweight mesh. Crude and adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were obtained using uni- and multivariable Poisson regression models.
