PurposeThis study assesses the effectiveness of sacrohysteropexy by evaluation of intra-operative and post-operative complications and recurrence rates.
MethodsThis study involved 18 women under 45 with stage 2 to stage 4 prolapse who underwent abdominal sacrohysteropexy at a tertiary care hospital. A comprehensive evaluation assessed surgical duration, complications, blood transfusion needs, and hospital stay length both pre- and post-surgery. Patients were monitored for 12 months after discharge to track recovery and any long-term effects or recurrence of prolapse.
ResultsAge distribution: 7 aged 21–30, 10 patients aged 31–40, 1 over 40.All patients were married. Parity: 1 was nulliparous, 13 patients had 1–3 children and 4 had 4–6 children. Prolapse stage : 2 patients each had stage 2 and stage 4 had whereas 14 patients had stage 3 while.Blood loss: 1 case required transfusion (500 ml). Mean Surgery duration: 60–90 mins on. Complications: 1 case of wound dehiscence. Discharge: Average duration of hospital stays was 5–7 days. Follow-up: Mean 12 months. no mesh erosion or recurrence detected. Deep dyspareunia: Reported in 1 patient during follow-up. Success rate: (100%).
ConclusionAbdominal Sacrohysteropexy is a safe and effective treatment option for women suffering from uterovaginal prolapse with willingness to preserve the menstrual and reproductive functions.
