Am J Obstet Gynecol 2024:S0002-9378(24)00523-4. [PMID: 38642697 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2024.04.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The gold-standard treatment for advanced pelvic organ prolapse is sacrocolpopexy. However, the preoperative features of prolapse that predict optimal outcomes are unknown. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop a clinical prediction model that uses preoperative scores on the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification examination to predict outcomes after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for stages 2, 3, and 4 uterovaginal prolapse and vaginal vault prolapse. STUDY DESIGN A 2-institution database of pre- and postoperative variables from 881 cases of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy was analyzed. Data from patients were analyzed in the following 4 groups: stage 2 uterovaginal prolapse, stage 3 to 4 uterovaginal prolapse, stage 2 vaginal vault prolapse, and stage 3 to 4 vaginal vault prolapse. Unsupervised machine learning was used to identify clusters and investigate associations between clusters and outcome. The k-means clustering analysis was performed with preoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification points and stratified by previous hysterectomy status. The "optimal" surgical outcome was defined as postoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification stage <2. Demographic variables were compared by cluster with Student t and chi-square tests. Odds ratios were calculated to determine whether clusters could predict the outcome. Age at surgery, body mass index, and previous prolapse surgery were used for adjusted odds ratios. RESULTS Five statistically distinct prolapse clusters (phenotypes C, A, A>P, P, and P>A) were found. These phenotypes reflected the predominant region of prolapse (apical, anterior, or posterior) and whether support was preserved in the nonpredominant region. Phenotype A (anterior compartment prolapse predominant, posterior support preserved) was found in all 4 groups of patients and was considered the reference in the analysis. In 111 patients with stage 2 uterovaginal prolapse, phenotypes A and A>P (greater anterior prolapse than posterior prolapse) were found, and patients with phenotype A were more likely than those with phenotype A>P to have an optimal surgical outcome. In 401 patients with stage 3 to 4 uterovaginal prolapse, phenotypes C (apical compartment predominant, prolapse in all compartments), A, and A>P were found, and patients with phenotype A>P were more likely than those with phenotype A to have ideal surgical outcome. In 72 patients with stage 2 vaginal vault prolapse, phenotypes A, A>P, and P (posterior compartment predominant, anterior support preserved) were found, and those with phenotype A>P were less likely to have an ideal outcome than patients with phenotype A. In 297 patients with stage 3 to 4 vaginal vault prolapse, phenotypes C, A, and P>A (prolapse greater in posterior than in anterior compartment) were found, but there were no significant differences in rate of ideal outcome between phenotypes. CONCLUSION Five anatomic phenotypes based on preoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification scores were present in patients with stages 2 and 3 to 4 uterovaginal prolapse and vaginal vault prolapse. These phenotypes are predictive of surgical outcome after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. Further work needs to confirm the presence and predictive nature of these phenotypes. In addition, whether the phenotypes represent a progression of prolapse or discrete prolapse presentations resulting from different anatomic and life course risk profiles is unknown. These phenotypes may be useful in surgical counseling and planning.

Risk of postoperative mesh exposure following sacrocolpopexy with supracervical versus total concomitant laparoscopic hysterectomy. Int Urogynecol J 2024; 35:207-213.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The primary objective was to compare rates of mesh exposure in women undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy with concurrent supracervical vs total hysterectomy. We hypothesized there would be a lower risk of mesh exposure for supracervical hysterectomy. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study using the Premier Healthcare Database. Women undergoing sacrocolpopexy with supracervical or total hysterectomy between 2010 and 2018 were identified using Current Procedural (CPT) codes. Complications were identified using CPT and diagnosis codes; reoperations were identified using CPT codes. Mesh exposures were measured over a 2-year period. A multivariable logistic regression was performed with a priori defined predictors of mesh exposure. RESULTS This study includes 17,111 women who underwent minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy with concomitant supracervical or total hysterectomy (6708 (39%) vs 10,403 (61%)). Women who underwent supracervical hysterectomy were older (age 60 ± 11 vs 53 ± 13, p < 0.01) and less likely to be obese (4% vs 7%, p < 0.01). Postoperative mesh exposures within 2 years were similar (supracervical n = 47, 0.7% vs total n = 65, 0.62%, p = 0.61). On logistic regression, obesity significantly reduced the odds of mesh exposure (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.01, 0.8); concomitant slings increased odds (OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.28, 2.83). Supracervical hysterectomy was associated with higher rates of port site hernias (1.3% vs 0.65%, p < 0.01), but lower surgical site infections within 3 months (0.81% vs 1.2%, p = 0.03). Reoperation for recurrent prolapse within 24 months was similar (supracervical n = 94, 1.4% vs total n = 150, 1.4%, p = 0.88). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative mesh exposure rates do not significantly differ based on type of concomitant hysterectomy in this dataset.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery is performed with and without concomitant hysterectomy depending on a variety of factors. The objective was to compare 30-day major complications following POP surgery with and without concomitant hysterectomy. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) multicenter database to compare 30-day complications using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for POP with or without concomitant hysterectomy. Patients were grouped by procedure: Vaginal prolapse repair (VAGINAL), minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (MISC), and open abdominal sacrocolpopexy (OASC). 30-day postoperative complications and other relevant data were evaluated in patients who underwent concomitant hysterectomy compared to those who did not. Multivariable logistic regression models assessed the association of concomitant hysterectomy on 30-day major complications stratified by surgical approach. RESULTS 60,201 women undergoing POP surgery comprised our cohort. Within 30 days of surgery, there were 1722 major complications in 1432 patients (2.4%). Prolapse surgery alone had a significantly lower overall complication rate than with concomitant hysterectomy (1.95% vs 2.81%; p < .001). Multivariable analysis revealed odds of complications following POP surgery was higher among women who underwent concomitant hysterectomy compared to those who did not have hysterectomy in VAGINAL (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.36-1.72), OASC (OR 2.70, 95% CI 1.69-4.33), and overall (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.31-1.62), but not in MISC (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.67-1.46.) CONCLUSION: Concomitant hysterectomy at the time of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery increases the risk of 30-day postoperative complications in comparison to prolapse surgery alone in our overall cohort.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS This retrospective cohort study is aimed at comparing outcomes and complications of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) with or without concomitant hysterectomy in the Hong Kong Chinese population. METHODS Women with stage II or above uterine or apical vault prolapse who underwent LSC with or without concomitant hysterectomy in a regional referral unit from 2007 to 2019 were included. The primary objectives were to compare the anatomical outcomes by pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q) and recurrence of apical vault prolapse (≥stage II). The secondary objective was to compare the functional outcomes and complications. Anatomical recurrence and incidence of mesh exposure were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazard regression was performed to identify risk factors of anatomical recurrence. RESULTS Seventy-six women were included for analysis. The recurrence rate of apical vault prolapse was 3.9% after a median follow-up time of 83 months (20-190 months). A significant reduction of POP-Q scores of three compartments in both groups of women were demonstrated (p<0.001). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of functional outcomes and complications. 6.6% of women developed mesh exposure. The time to recurrence of apical vault prolapse was shorter in women who had LSC with prior hysterectomy (p =0.019). No risk factors were identified for recurrence of apical vault prolapse. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with concomitant hysterectomy is comparable with LSC alone. The recurrence and complication rates are low. We suggest that LSC with concomitant hysterectomy might be offered to women with pelvic organ prolapse, with women's preference taken into account.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the effect of concomitant supracervical hysterectomy compared with total hysterectomy during abdominal sacrocolpopexy on the rate of mesh erosion by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis of the existing literature. DATA SOURCES From database inception through January 2022, we explored MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov , and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Studies comparing the rate of mesh erosion in women undergoing abdominal sacrocolpopexy who had concomitant supracervical hysterectomy compared with total hysterectomy were included. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two reviewers separately ascertained studies, obtained data, and gauged study quality. The rate of mesh erosion was compared, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were estimated. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS Nineteen studies with 10,572 women who underwent abdominal sacrocolpopexy were identified, including 4,285 women in the supracervical group and 6,287 women in the total hysterectomy group. The overall mean postprocedure follow-up time was 30.7±15.1 months (median 12.4, range 1.5-44.2). The median (95% CI) point prevalence of mesh erosion was 0.36% (0-1.9%) in women who had supracervical hysterectomy compared with 3.8% (1.8-8.7%) in women who had total hysterectomy. The overall rate of mesh erosion in women who had supracervical hysterectomy was lower compared with women who had total hysterectomy (pooled OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.18-0.38, I 2 0%). CONCLUSION In women with symptomatic apical pelvic organ prolapse who undergo abdominal sacrocolpopexy with concomitant hysterectomy, supracervical hysterectomy is associated with a lower risk of mesh erosion compared with total hysterectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS To compare vaginal mesh exposure rates, adverse events and composite failure within 1 year postoperatively in patients who undergo vaginal hysterectomy with vaginal mesh attachment (TVH) versus laparoscopic hysterectomy with abdominal mesh attachment (TLH) for minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. METHODS This multicenter retrospective cohort study is a secondary analysis of data collected retrospectively at one institution and the multicenter randomized control PACT trial. Women were excluded for no follow-up between 9 months and 2 years postoperatively or undergoing concurrent non-urogynecologic procedures. RESULTS Between 2010 and 2019, 182 patients underwent TLH and 132 TVH. There were 15 (4.8%) vaginal mesh exposures: 12 (6.6%) in the TLH and 3 (2.3%) in the TVH group (p = 0.133) with zero mesh erosions. Logistic regression analysis for mesh exposure in the TLH vs. TVH groups controlling for BMI, posterior repair and surgeon training also showed no significant difference (OR 4.8, 95% CI 0.94, 24.8, p = 0.059). The overall intraoperative complication rate was low (19/314, 6.1%) with a higher rate of bladder injury in the TLH group (4.4% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.049). The TLH group had a higher rate of UTI (8.2% vs. 2.3%, p = 0.027) and clean intermittent catheterization (11% vs. 3%, p = 0.009). At 1-year follow-up, there was no difference in composite failure (6%), bulge symptoms (5%) or retreatment (1%) between groups. CONCLUSIONS At 1 year, there is no significant difference in vaginal mesh exposure rates between vaginal hysterectomy with vaginal mesh attachment and laparoscopic hysterectomy with abdominal mesh attachment. Both groups have equal efficacy with low rates of complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite increasing use of robotic technology for minimally invasive hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy, evidence supporting the benefits of these costly procedures remains inconclusive. This study aimed to compare differences in perioperative complications, 30-day readmissions, and costs between robot-assisted and conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy with concurrent sacrocolpopexy using a large national database. METHODS Using the 2009-2015 Nationwide Readmissions Database and procedure codes, we identified patients who underwent a robot-assisted or conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy. We measured in-hospital perioperative complications using diagnosis and procedure codes and measured 30-day readmissions based on patient linkages across hospitalizations. Hospital costs were estimated using charges and cost-to-charge ratios. These outcomes were compared between robot-assisted and conventional laparoscopic procedures using bivariate and multivariable regression analysis. RESULTS Our weighted sample included a total of 7,675 patients. Major perioperative complications occurred in 6.7% of robot-assisted and 11.2% of conventional laparoscopic procedures (unadjusted P < 0.001; adjusted odds ratio, 0.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.51-0.93; P = 0.02). Hospital costs were higher in robot-assisted than in conventional laparoscopic procedures (respective median costs, $16,367 vs $13,898; P < 0.001), with an adjusted cost ratio of 1.24 (95% confidence interval, 1.17-1.31; P < 0.001). The risk of 30-day readmission was similar between robot-assisted and conventional laparoscopic procedures. CONCLUSIONS Nationally representative data suggest that, in laparoscopic hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy, the robot-assisted approach is associated with a lower risk of perioperative complications, despite higher costs, compared with the conventional one. The risk of 30-day readmission was similar between the robot-assisted and conventional laparoscopic approaches.

Abstract
(1) Background: Sacrocolpopexy (SCP) with subtotal hysterectomy (SH) is a standard procedure for the treatment of utero-vaginal prolapse. Several disadvantages are associated with the remaining cervix; therefor, SCP with total hysterectomy (TH) may be preferred. According to some publications, SCP with concomitant TH is associated with higher rates of mesh extrusion. Our hypothesis is that mesh extrusion at the apex can be avoided through prevention of thermal injury and through vaginal cuff suturing when performing the laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy combined with a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal total hysterectomy (LAVH). (2) Methods: This prospective cohort study was performed from 2016 until January 2019 including women with a utero-vaginal prolapse undergoing laparoscopic SCP with LAVH. The SCP was performed utilizing a non-absorbable polypropylene macroporous mesh (EndoGYNious®). The primary outcome was the mesh extrusion rate after SCP with concomitant LAVH. The secondary outcome was the objective and functional outcome. (3) There were 50 women included in this prospective cohort. At follow up of 6–12 weeks postoperatively, no mesh extrusion was detected and objectified. Overall, all women showed excellent anatomical and functional outcome. The median time from surgery was 42 months. (4) Laparoscopic SCP with concomitant LAVH showed no increased risk of mesh extrusion and good objective and functional outcomes.

Abstract
This article discusses a few of the most prominent controversies currently confronting providers and patients when planning for surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse including preoperative counseling and patient preparedness, preoperative urodynamics and concomitant anti-incontinence procedures, uterine preservation, total versus supracervical hysterectomy at the time of sacrocolpopexy, same-day discharge, and use of telemedicine for routine postoperative care. These current controversies reflect some of the larger questions and themes confronting the field at this time, and this discussion serves to highlight opportunities for further research and stimulate the constructive debate that moves the field forward.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the incidence of mesh exposure based on route of hysterectomy at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. Secondary outcomes included perioperative outcomes and prolapse recurrence. METHODS This was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. Patients who underwent sacrocolpopexy between 2007 and 2017 were stratified by hysterectomy approach: total vaginal hysterectomy (TVH), total laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy (TLH), and laparoscopic or robotic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH). Total vaginal hysterectomy was subdivided into vaginal and laparoscopic mesh attachment to the cuff. Statistical analyses were performed, with P < 0.05 denoting statistical significance. RESULTS Seven institutions participated, and 502 minimally invasive sacrocolpopexies with concomitant hysterectomy were performed by 23 surgeons: 263 TVH, 128 TLH, and 111 LSH. The median follow-up interval was 10 months, and this was significantly different between the groups (months): TVH, 11 (3-13); TLH, 2 (2-9); and LSH, 12 (5-24; P < 0.01). The overall incidence of vaginal mesh exposure was 4.0% (20/502). There were no significant differences in vaginal mesh exposure based on hysterectomy route: TVH, 5.7% (15/263); TLH, 1.6% (2/128); and LSH, 2.7% (3/111; P = 0.11). Within the TVH group, there was no significant difference in vaginal mesh exposure comparing vaginal and laparoscopic mesh attachment: 1.9% (1/52) versus 6.6% (14/211; P = 0.48). Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy demonstrated a significantly higher incidence of recurrence compared with TVH and TLH: 10.8% (12/111) versus 3.4% (9/263) and 2.3% (3/128; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of sacrocolpopexy mesh exposure was not significantly different based on route of hysterectomy or mode of mesh attachment to the vagina. There was a significant increase in prolapse recurrence with supracervical hysterectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The objective was to compare 30-day perioperative complications in women undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy with and without a concomitant hysterectomy. METHODS Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, we identified women undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy between 2014 and 2018. Women were then stratified into two groups: sacrocolpopexy only and sacrocolpopexy + hysterectomy. The primary outcome was the occurrence of any 30-day postoperative complication. Group comparisons were performed using Student's t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-squared test. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent factors associated with the occurrence of any complication. RESULTS A total of 8,553 women underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, 5,123 (59.9%) of whom had a concomitant hysterectomy. Median operative time was longer in women who had sacrocolpopexy + hysterectomy compared with sacrocolpopexy alone (185 [129-241] versus 172 [130-224] min, p < 0.001). The rate of any 30-day postoperative complication did not differ between groups (sacrocolpopexy + hysterectomy 5.5% versus sacrocolpopexy alone 5.8%, p = 0.34). Likewise, organ space, deep, and superficial surgical site infections did not differ between groups. There was also no difference in reoperation or readmission rates between groups. On multivariate logistic regression, sacrocolpopexy + hysterectomy were not associated with increased odds of 30-day postoperative complications relative to women who underwent sacrocolpopexy alone. CONCLUSIONS Complication rates during the first 30 days after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy are low and concomitant hysterectomy is not associated with increased risks of 30-day complications after surgery.
