Abstract

Aim: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined technique — pectopexy, and the most common — laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse correction. Patients and Methods: the study included 32 female patients with a similar nosological form of pelvic organ prolapse. All the subjects were divided into two groups depending on the surgical treatment method. Group 1 (main group) included 14 female patients who had a combined laparoscopic correction of pelvic organ prolapse with transverse and longitudinal fixation of synthetic implants — combined pectopexy. Group 2 (control group) included 18 female patients who underwent sacrocolpopexy. Comprehensive clinical and instrumental examination of female patients was performed before and within 24 months after surgery. Results: there were no intraoperative complications in female patients of both groups. In all cases, the surgical intervention result was recognized as positive both according to the patient assessment and medical researcher assessment. There was a significant improvement in indicators reflecting the central compartment condition (apical prolapse), as well as the anterior and posterior vaginal walls. All female patients showed an improvement in their life quality. The patients also showed positive tendency according to pelvic ultrasound after surgery. No pelvic mesh complications were reported. The parameters of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system assessment did not differ significantly in female patients from both groups 1, 6, 12 and 24 months of follow-up after surgery. Conclusion: based on the obtained follow-up data, correction of central, posterior and partially anterior prolapse was achieved in patients after combined transverse and longitudinal fixation of synthetic implants. Pectopexy is safe and comparable to sacrocolpopexy, which is currently considered the most common surgery, gives a positive effect in correcting pelvic organ prolapse and improves the life quality of female patients.
