We sought to characterize demographics and presenting symptoms in patients undergoing combined repair and determine pre-operative predictors of recurrence. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of women who underwent combined RP and POP surgery at a single tertiary center from 2008-2019. Patient demographic data and preoperative symptoms were collected. Patients with recurrent POP (Stage 2 anatomic prolapse) and/or RP on examination were identified. RESULTS: Sixty-three women with a mean follow up time of 1.1 years were evaluated. Five patients were lost to follow up. Mean age at the time of surgery was 65, and the majority patients were Caucasian (62%) and non-smokers (51%) (Figure 1A). The most commonly reported symptoms related to POP were overactive bladder (OAB) (73%) and vaginal bulge (79%), while the most commonly reported symptoms related to RP were obstructive defecation (51%) and fecal incontinence (FI) (68%) (Figure 1A). Postoperatively, 71% of patients with OAB and 87% of patients with vaginal bulge symptoms reported improvement in symptom. Similarly, 81% of patients with obstructive defecation and 79% of patients with FI reported improvement in symptoms. Of thirteen patients (22%) with recurrent POP and/or RP, 7 patients had recurrent POP and 10 had recurrent RP. Increasing age, pulmonary disease, obesity, obstructive urination and obstructive defecation were associated with recurrent POP and/or RP (Figure 1B). After adjusting for confounders, age (OR 1.10 [1.03-1.22]), obesity (OR 25.97 [2.56-623.14]), and obstructive defecation (OR 6.57 [1.03-69.57]) remained statistically significant (Figure 1B). CONCLUSIONS: Though majority of patients who undergo combined POP and RP surgery have improvement in symptoms related to RP and POP, our study suggests that older, obese, women with pre-operative obstructive defecation may have a higher risk of prolapse recurrence.
