Description
Summary:Objectives To present the anatomic outcomes of sacrohysteropexy surgery without posterior mesh placement in patients with asymptomatic grade 1 and 2 rectoceles. Methods The patients who underwent abdominal sacrohysteropexy without posterior mesh placement for the treatment of symptomatic grade 3 and 4 anterior/apical prolapse + asymptomatic grade 1 and 2 rectocele between May 2015 and January 2021 were evaluated retrospectively. The success rate, the anatomic outcomes (for anterior, apical, and posterior pelvic organ prolapse [POP]), and perioperative data of the surgical procedure were assessed. The objective failure criteria after surgery included the presence of grade 1 or higher in any compartment (anatomical criteria), recurrent POP requiring an operation, and/or usage of pessaries. Perioperative adverse events were categorized according to the Clavien–Dindo classification. Results Fifty‐one patients underwent sacrohysteropexy without posterior mesh. The mean age of the patients was 56.8 ± 10 years. The success rates (anatomical outcomes) for the anterior/apical and posterior POP in the study group were 60.7%, 54.9%, and 58.8%, respectively, at a median follow‐up time of 40.24 (24–71) months. The median hospital stay was 3.1 (2–6) days. The mean estimated blood loss was 127.6 (80–150) mL. The mean operation time was 114 (90–156) min. The mean urethral and catheter removal times were 1.3 (1, 2) and 2.1 (2–4) days, respectively. The mean recovery time of gastrointestinal motility was 14.4 h (11–35). Conclusions Sacrohysteropexy without posterior mesh placement might be associated with less pain, shorter operative time, and shorter recovery time of gastrointestinal motility, without compromising the anatomic success.
