Clinical Outcomes and Urodynamic Effects of Tailored Transvaginal Mesh Surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse

الملخص EN

Objective.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes and urodynamic effects of tailored anterior transvaginal mesh surgery (ATVM) and tailored posterior transvaginal mesh surgery (PTVM).

Methods.

We developed ATVM for the simultaneous correction of cystocele and stress urinary incontinence and PTVM for the simultaneous correction of enterocoele, uterine prolapse, vaginal stump prolapse, and rectocele.

Results.

A total of 104 women enrolled.

The median postsurgical follow-up was 25.5 months.

The anatomic cure rate was 98.1% (102/104).

Fifty-eight patients underwent urodynamic studies before and after surgeries.

The pad weight decreased from 29.3 ± 43.1 to 6.4 ± 20.9 g at 3 months.

Among the 20 patients with ATVM, 13 patients had objective stress urinary incontinence (SUI) at baseline while 8 patients came to have no demonstrated SUI (NDSUI), and 2 improved after surgery.

Among the 38 patients who underwent ATVM and PTVM, 24 had objective SUI at baseline while 18 came to have NDSUI, and 2 improved after surgery.

Mesh extrusion (n = 4), vaginal hematoma (n = 3), and voiding difficulty (n = 2) were noted postoperatively.

Quality of life was substantially improved.

Conclusions.

Our findings document the advantages of these two novel pelvic reconstructive surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse, which had a positive impact on quality of life.

ATVM surgery additionally provided an anti-incontinence effect.

This clinical trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02178735).
