ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of sacrospinous colpopexy without hysterectomy and with hysterectomy for symptomatic uterine prolapse.METHODS:
A retrospective chart review was performed in the women who underwent sacrospinous ligament suspension between March 1998 and March 2002. A hundred fifty five women with a symptomatic uterine prolapse were treated with either sacrospinous colpopexy without hysterectomy and/or anterior-posterior repair (83 cases=Group A) or sacrospinous colpopexy with hysterectomy and/or anterior-posterior repair (72 cases=Group B).RESULTS:
The mean duration of surgery, hemoglobin change, catheter days and inpatient days were shorter in group A compared with group B. (Group A 102.5+/-33.4 min, 2.4+/-0.7 mg/dL, 5.2+/-1.4 days, 7.6+/-2.2 days vs. Group B 135.3+/-33.9 min, 2.9+/-0.8 mg/dL, 6.1+/-2.1 days, 9.4+/-3.7 days, p<0.05 respectively) Recurrent pelvic organ prolapse developed in 14.5% in group A and 12.5% in group B. Six patients (7.2%) in group A and 5 patients (6.9%) in group B required repeat operation for recurrent pelvic organ prolapse.CONCLUSIONS:
Sacrospinous colpopexy without hysterectomy and with hysterectomy are equally effective surgical operation for uterine prolapse. This study shows that hysterectomy is not essential for the correction of uterine prolapse.
