Abstract
Objective: To compare infracoccygeal sacropexy (IS) and sacrospinous suspension (SS) for the treatment of uterine or vault prolapse. Methods: A randomized trial of 49 women assigned to either the IS group using IVS tape ( n = 24) or SS group ( n = 25). Concomitant hysterectomy and repairs were performed as appropriate. Evaluations included prolapse staging using the POP-Q system and validated questionnaires for symptoms (PFDI), quality of life (PFIQ), and sexuality (PISQ-12). The primary outcome measure was postoperative pain. Results: Patients' characteristics were similar in both groups. IS was quicker, easier, and less painful than SS ( P < 0.01). Hemorrhage or hematoma rates were similar. Neither rectal injury nor vaginal erosion occurred. Mean follow-up was 16.8 months. Prolapse cure rates, symptom scores, and quality of life were similar. Postoperative cystocele occurred in 4.8% of women after IS and 25% after SS ( P > 0.05). Conclusion: Infracoccygeal sacropexy is equivalent to sacrospinous suspension, with a decreased rate of postoperative pain and cystocele recurrence.
