Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to determine the perioperative outcomes of minimal invasive sacrospinous ligament suspension (SSLS) in women with apical prolapse. METHODS: This prospective randomized study included 1,464 patients for a 10-year period. SSLS was performed by Deschamps ligature carrier at 762 patients (Group 1) and automatic suturing instrument was applied at 702 patients (Group 2). Patients' perioperative complications, blood loss, operative time, and hospital stay were recorded. RESULTS: Suturing took 46 s (range 31-63 s) in Group 2 and 775 s (range 585-965 s) in Group 1. Group 2 patients had shorter time for suturing process, less postoperative analgesic requirement, and shorter hospital stay (p < 0.0001, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, respectively). Also there were no bladder, ureteral, rectum or nerve injuries in Group 2. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive SSLS is a reliable procedure with less procedural complications, reduced postoperative pain, less hospital stay and shorter operation times.
