Function, quality-of-life and complications after sacrospinous ligament fixation using an antegrade reusable suturing device (ARSD-Ney) at 6 and 12 months: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common pathology in the female population. Sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) is one of the traditional transvaginal procedures for POP and high sacrospinous ligament fixation (h-SSLF) optimizes it using an antegrade reusable suturing device (ARSD-Ney). Previous studies on h-SSLF have focused on the correction of anatomical positions, with less assessment of patients' function, quality of life and complications. In this study, we evaluated post-operative complications, function, and quality-of-life after h-SSLF to confirm the safety and effectiveness of it.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study that included 71 patients between 2018 and 2021: 50 patients for h-SSLF and 21 patients for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) ac
