Abstract

BackgroundUterine preservation is increasingly a common demand in surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse. Using Proline mesh in surgical repair of prolapse may have negative drawbacks. ObjectiveCompare between using polyproline mesh and mersilene tape in abdominal sacrohysteropexy repairing apical prolapse stage ?? or more. Study designThis RCT study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Menoufia and Ain Shams university hospitals, Egypt). Eligible population included women planned sacrohysteropexy for uterine prolapse≥stage 2 assigned to 2 groups: Mesh group (n=38), underwent sacrohysteropexy with polyproline mesh, and tape group (n=38), underwent sacrohysteropexy using mersilene tape. ResultsHigh statistically significant difference between tape group and mesh group concerning hysteropexy time was 50.4minute in tape group vs 90.6minute in mesh group (P<.001), need for post operative analgesia was 14 in tape group vs 27 in mesh group (P<.005). The mean hospital stay was 2.8 days in tape group vs 5.2days mesh group (P<.001). ConclusionsUsing mersilene tape in sacrohysteropexy is a safe alternative to polyproline mesh with comparable efficacy with less complications. Tape is easier as it needs less dissection area for sacral fixation so less injury incidence.
