[Laparoscopic double sacrocolpopexy: a failure for the posterior compartment?]

ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy using an anterior and a posterior prolen mesh, for the cure of genital prolapse. STUDY Methods: This is a consecutive five year prospective observational study in which 80 patients presented with at least a Stage 2 apical prolapsed [Baden and Walker], with an anterior or a posterior vaginal wall prolapse, who underwent a double sacrocolpopexy. Two prolen prosthesis [Pro-swing[registered sign] - Textile Hi-Tec[Trade Mark Sign], Fr] were used for this technique. Pre- and post-operative data referring to prolapse quantitation [Baden and Walker classification], scores of quality of life and sexuality [French equivalent of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory [PFDI], Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire [PFIQ] and Pelvic organ prolapse-urinary Incontinence-Sexual Questionnaire [PISQ-12] were compared. Peri and postoperative complications constituted the secondary outcome measures:
