ABSTRACT
Introducción: El prolapso de órganos pélvico (POP) es una patología frecuente que afecta hasta el 60% de las mujeres. La fijación alta al ligamento uterosacro (FAUS) transvaginal es una alternativa para el tratamiento del prolapso apical con buenos resultados, tiempos operatorios y de recuperación acotados, además de bajas tasas de complicaciones. Objetivo: Evaluar la tasa de éxito anatómico y subjetivo en pacientes portadoras de un prolapso apical sometidas a FAUS en el Hospital de Quilpué a 24 meses de seguimiento. Materiales y método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo observacional descriptivo, seleccionando a todas las pacientes sintomáticas con un prolapso apical ≥ 2 de la clasificación de POP-Q, sometidas a una FAUS entre septiembre de 2014 y octubre de 2019. Los datos fueron obtenidos desde la base de datos de la unidad de uroginecología del Hospital de Quilpué, previa aprobación del comité de ética. El éxito objetivo se definió como un punto C a 1 centímetro sobre el himen y el éxito subjetivo con una escala de impresión de mejora global del paciente (PGI-I) mejor o mucho mejor y/o una escala visual analógica (EVA) mayor al 80%, a 24 meses de seguimiento. Resultados: Se incluyeron 46 pacientes. La tasa de éxito objetivo fue del 84% y de éxito subjetivo del 70%. Conclusiones: La FAUS transvaginal con suturas permanentes es una excelente alternativa para el tratamiento del prolapso apical con una tasa de éxito similar al gold standard a 24 meses de seguimiento.
Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a frequent pathology that affects up to 60% of women. Transvaginal uterosacral ligament high fixation (USLs: utero-sacral ligaments) is an alternative for the treatment of apical prolapse with good results, limited operative and recovery times, as well as low rates of complications. Objective: To evaluate the anatomical and subjective success rate in patients with an apical prolapse undergoing STALUS at the Quilpué Hospital at 24 months of follow-up. Materials and method: A descriptive observational retrospective study was carried out, selecting all symptomatic patients with an apical prolapse ≥ 2 of the POP Q classification, submitted to a FAUS between September 2014 and October 2019. The data were obtained from the database of the Urogynecology Unit of the Quilpué Hospital, prior approval of the ethics committee. Objective success was defined as a C-point 1 centimeter above the hymen and subjective success with better or much better Patient Global Impression-Improvement (PGI-I) scale and/or a greater than 80% Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), at 24 months of follow-up. Results: 46 patients were included. The objective success rate was 84% and the subjective success rate was 70%. Conclusions: The transvaginal FAUS with permanent sutures is an excellent alternative for the treatment of apical prolapse with a success rate similar to the gold standard at 24 months of follow-up.

Introducción: El prolapso genital femenino altera significativamente la calidad de vida de la mujer. El prolapso apical es el segundo más frecuente después del defecto de pared anterior y la colposuspensión al ligamento sacroespinoso es una de las técnicas quirúrgicas descritas para su tratamiento. Objetivos: Determinar la factibilidad de la corrección del prolapso apical en pacientes sometidas a la colposuspensión al ligamento sacroespinoso, utilizando el dispositivo de captura de sutura CapioTM. Materiales y métodos: Análisis retrospectivo de pacientes intervenidas desde junio de 2015 a junio de 2016, en la unidad de piso pélvico del Hospital Luis Tisné Brousse, basándose principalmente en la evaluación del punto C del Prolpase Organ Pelvic Quatinfication (POP-Q). Resultados: Se intervinieron 15 pacientes, con edad promedio de 60,7 ± 6,8 años. Todas presentaron prolapso genital estadio III o IV. El seguimiento se realizó entre 3 y 13 meses después de la cirugía. Ninguna presentó complicaciones graves durante ni después de la cirugía y sólo una paciente recidivó. Conclusiones: La colposuspensión al ligamento sacroespinoso con CapioTM, es una técnica factible, segura y eficaz para el tratamiento del prolapso apical, sin embargo, es necesario mayor tiempo de seguimiento y estudios comparativos con otras técnicas de colposuspensión.
Introduction: Female genital prolapse significantly alter the quality of life of women. The apical prolapse is the second common defect after anterior wall and the colposuspension to sacrospinous ligament is one of the described surgical techniques for its treatment. Objective: To determine the feasibility of apical prolapse correction in patients undergoing sacrospinous colposuspension using the suture capture device CapioTM. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing this surgery from June 2015 to June 2016, including an objective assessment focused mainly in the C point of Prolapse Organ Pelvic Quatinfication (POP-Q) and a subjective evaluation of the patient. Results: 15 patients, of which only 11 were able to complete follow-up, were included. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 60.7 ± 6.8 years, and all were classified as prolapse stages III or IV. The evaluation was performed in average 6.75 ± 3.39 months after surgery, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 13 months. No patient had several complications during or after surgery and only one recurred. Conclusions: The colposuspension to sacrospinous ligament with CapioTM is a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of apical genital prolapse. However, a longer follow-up study is needed, in addition to comparative studies with other colposuspension techniques.

Abstract Introduction We aimed to evaluate the safety, efficacy and surgical outcomes of combined laparoscopic/vaginal prolapse repair by two surgeons. Material and Methods A retrospective chart review of all patients (n =135) who underwent apical prolapse repair from February 2009 to December 2012 performed in a collaborative manner by a Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon and a Urogynecologist. Demographic data (age, body mass index [BMI], race, gravidity, parity) and surgical information (estimated blood loss, operative time, intraoperative complications, readmission and reoperation rates, presence of postoperative infection) were collected. Results The majority of patients were postmenopausal (58.91%), multiparous (mean parity =2.49) and overweight (mean BMI =27.71). Nearly 20% had previous prolapse surgery. The most common surgical procedure was laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) with sacrocervicopexy (59.26%), and the most common vaginal repair was of the posterior compartment (78.68%). The median operative time was 149 minutes (82-302), and the estimated blood loss was 100 mL (10-530). Five intraoperative complications, five readmissions and four reoperations were noted. Performance of a concomitant hysterectomy did not affect surgical or anatomical outcomes. Conclusion Combination laparoscopic/vaginal prolapse repair by two separate surgeons seems to be an efficient option for operative management.
Resumo Introdução Objetivamos avaliar a segurança, eficácia e desfechos cirúrgicos da via laparoscópica e vaginal combinadas para a correção do prolapso feitos por dois cirurgiões. Métodos Um estudo retrospectivo com análise de prontuário foi realizado em todos os pacientes (n =135) que foram submetidos a correção de prolapso apical de fevereiro de 2009 a dezembro de 2012 de maneira concomitante por um laparoscopista e um uroginecologista. Dados demográficos (idade, índice de massa corporal [IMC], raça, número de gestações e partos) e cirúrgicos (perda sanguínea estimada, tempo operatório, complicações intraoperatórias, taxas de readmissão e reoperação, e presença de infecção pós-operatória) foram analisados. Resultados Operfil da paciente operada era pertencente à pós-menopausa (58,91%), ser multípara (paridade média =2,49) e com sobrepeso (IMC médio =27,71). Aproximadamente 20% havia feito cirurgia prévia para prolapso. O procedimento cirúrgico mais realizado foi a histerectomia supracervical laparoscópica (HSL) com sacrocervicopexia (59,6%); o reparo vaginal mais encontrado foi o para defeito de compartimento posterior (78,68%). O tempo operatório mediano foi de 149 minutos (82-302), e a perda sanguínea estimada foi de 100 ml (10-530). Cinco complicações pós-operatórias, cinco readmissões e quatro reoperações foram encontradas. A realização de uma histerectomia em concomitância aos demais procedimentos não afetou os desfechos cirúrgicos ou anatômicos. Conclusão O reparo combinado do prolapso pela via laparoscópica e vaginal por dois cirurgiões em concomitância aparenta ser uma opção eficiente para o manejo operatório.
