Abstract
Pelvic organ prolapse is a non-life-threatening condition that has a wide variety of symptoms. Sacrocolpopexy has been the "gold standard" for management of apical pelvic organ prolapse with reported high success rates for anatomic correction. Herein, we review the surgical procedure, anatomic, and functional outcomes, as well as the intraoperative and postoperative complications.
Findings suggest that the ASC has an acceptably low overall complication rate comparable between open and minimally invasive approach. Mesh extrusion and anatomic failure have been shown to increase over time. Patient education and counseling are important preoperatively. It is important to discuss with the patient risks of the surgical procedure, specifically mesh-related extrusion, longer term anatomic recurrence rates, rates of functional improvement, or worsening of bladder and bowel symptoms, as well as rates of dyspareunia.
