Objective:To evaluate the indications, surgical skills and clinic outcomes of abdominal minimal incision sacrocolpopexy (AMISC) for treatment of advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP).Methods:The retrospective study analyzed 30 women with advanced POP who underwent AMISC between June 2016 and October 2019, including 9 cases of recurrent prolapse and 10 cases of vault prolapse. AMISC was especially applicable to: (1) patients with several medical complications who was unable to tolerate general anesthesia or laparoscopic surgery, but able to tolerate combined spinal-epidural anesthesia and open surgery; (2) other abdominal procedures were indicated to perform with AMISC simultaneously, such as myomectomy, subtotal hysterectomy etc, the specimens were easy to get out of the abdominal cavity and morcellation was avoided; (3) surgeons preferring open surgery to laparoscopic surgery or skilled in open surgery; (4) patients with prior pelvic operations, presenting severe abdominal and pelvic adhesions. Objective outcomes were assessed by pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) system. Subjective outcome were assessed by pelvic floor distress inventory-short form 20 (PFDI-20), pelvic floor impact questionnaire-short form (PFIQ-7) and patient global impression of improvement (PGI-I).Results:All patients with 1-3 medical complications were successfully performed with AMISC without stopping procedure, enlarging the incision or changing to other procedure, the operation duration was (110±19) minutes. The mean time of follow-up was (33.5±12.4) months (range: 8-49 months). The postoperative points of Aa, Ba, C, Ap, Bp reduced significantly and point C improved from (2.33±2.50) cm to (-7.54±1.18) cm after AMISC ( P<0.01). The objective cure rates were both 100% (30/30) in apex and posterior compartment, while 97% (29/30) in anterior compartment. Postoperative scores of PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 were all significant decreased (all P<0.01). About PGI-I, 29 patients chose “significant improvement”, subjective satisfaction was 97% (29/30). Anterior sacral plexus hemorrhage occurred in 2 cases (7%, 2/30). There was no intestinal obstruction or injury of bladder, bowel and ureter intra- and postoperation. Two cases (7%, 2/30) had mesh exposure. Conclusion:AMISC is a safety, convenient, minimal traumatic and durable procedure for apical prolapse with short learning curve in the most of cases.

Objective To evaluate the indications and clinic outcomes of vaginal high uterosacral ligament suspension (HUS) for treatment of recurrent advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods This retrospective study analyzed 42 women with recurrent advanced POP who were referred to Fourth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital and underwent transvaginal HUS between November 2005 and January 2018. Primary surgeries included 30 vaginal colporrhaphy, 5 Manchester operation, 5 transvaginal mesh repair,2 sacrospinous ligament fixation.The median time for recurrence from primary pelvic floor repair surgery was 9 months, including 14 cases (33%, 14/42)≤3 months (median time was 2 months) and 25 cases (67%, 28/42) longer than 3 months (median time was 18 months).The rate of recurrent prolapse in stageⅢorⅣ was 79% (33 cases), 45% (19 cases) and 17%(7 cases) in anterior, apical and posterior compartment respectively. Results Transvaginal high bilateral uterosacral ligaments were identified and used for successful vaginal vault suspension after vaginal hysterectomy and residual cervical resection in all 42 consecutive patients. The cases of transvaginal mesh used in anterior wall and posterior wall were 25 (60%, 25/42) and 3 (7%, 3/42) respectively. There was no major intra-and postoperative complications,such as ureter and other pelvic organ injury. The median time of follow-up was 5.3 years after transvaginal HUS. The points of pelvic organ prolapse quantification system reduced significantly and point C improved from+0.3 cm to-8.2 cm after reoperation (P<0.01). The objective cure rate were 100% (42/42) both in apex and posterior compartment,while 93% (39/42) in anterior compartment. None had reoperation or pessary usage for recurrence of prolapse. Conclusion Transvaginal HUS with vaginal wall repair could be as a safety, cost-effective, minimal traumatic and durable procedure for recurrent POP in the most of cases.

Objective To assess the five?year effect of the transvaginal high uterosacral ligament suspension (HUS) with or without additional concomitant native?tissue anterior and (or) posterior repair in women suffering from middle compartment defect. Methods A retrospective review of records identified 79 women who underwent transvaginal HUS with or without additional concomitant native?tissue anterior and (or) posterior repair from January 2007 to January 2018 in Fourth Medical Center, General Hospital of People′s Liberation Army. The middle compartment defects were predominant in these patients with point C no less than point Ba or Bp if accompanied with anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapse. Follow?up visits were performed 2,6 and 12 months after surgery and then annually. Anatomic results of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) was established by pelvic examination using pelvic organ prolapse quantitation system (POP?Q) staging. Funtional results were obtained by patient global impression of improvement (PGI?I) scale in POP, pelvic floor distress inventory?short form 20 (PFDI?20) and pelvic floor impact questionnaire short form (PFIQ?7). Surgical success required the fulfillment of all 3 criteria: (1) anterior or posterior vaginal wall prolapsed leading edge of 0 cm or less and apex of 1/2 total vaginal length or less; (2) the absence of POP symptoms as reported on the PFDI?20 question No.3 ("Do you usually have a bulge or something falling out that you can see or feel in your vaginal area?"); and (3) no prolapse reoperations or pessary use during the study period. Results Of 79 women, 51(65%, 51/79) women completed the five?year follow?up during the study period. The median follow?up time was 5.2 years (2.8-8.3 years). The overall surgery success rate was 86% (44/51) according to above all 3 criteria. Prolapse recurrence rates were isolated anterior 8% (4/51), isolated apical 0, isolated posterior 2% (1/51) and multiple compartments 4% (2/51). Seven women (14%,7/51) developed anterior or posterior prolapse beyond the hymen with the leading edge≤1 cm. No apical prolapsed occurred. None of recurrent women underwent retreatment,including either surgery or pessary usage at last follow?up. The subjective satisfaction rate was 90% (46/51). There was a 1% (1/79) rate of intraoperative ureteral kinking and 3% (2/79) rate of postoperative morbidity. Conclusions The transvaginal HUS for middle compartment defect offers good long?term anatomical results with excellent vault suspension. With additional concomitant native?tissue anterior and (or) posterior repair, it will be a reconstructive surgery for the majority of moderate?to?severe POP. It is minimal traumatic and worthy of being popularized for clinical application.

Objective To explore the clinical management and outcomes of polypropylene mesh and sling exposure after reconstructive pelvic surgery(RPS). Methods A total of 110 cases of mesh and sling exposure after RPS were analyzed, who admitted between Jan. 2002 and Oct. 2017 in First Affiliated Hospital of PLA General Hospital, in which 3 cases were referred from other hospitals. Mesh and sling exposures were identified in the outpatient clinic and categorized and managed according to International Continence Society and International Urogynecology Association(ICS-IUGA)classification about category, time and site(CTS)of mesh complication. Outpatient management included observation, topical estrogen use and mesh removal. Management in hospital included surgical removal of exposed mesh and repair of the resulting defects under the anesthesia. Seventy-four cases were managed in the outpatient setting, and 36 cases required inpatient management. Follow-up was consecutively performed from 1 month to 10 years. Objective outcome included the surgeon′s assessment of the healing state of the vaginal mucosa. Subjective outcome was evaluated with patient global impression of improvement questionnaire(PGI-I). Results One hundred and ten patients with mesh exposure were classified according to the different RPS underwent. There were 95 cases from transvaginal mesh surgery, 5 cases from anti-stress urinary incontinence sling surgery, and 10 cases from sacrocolpopxy. The outpatient group healed at an average of(3.0 ± 1.8)months. Of the 36 patients who required inpatient management, 21 cases healed completely at an average of 7 days after one surgery. The remaining 8 cases required either two or three times surgeries or conservative management. In the outpatient group, the PGI-I scale very much better was found in 65 cases(87.8%)and much better in 9 cases(12.2%). In the inpatient surgery group, the scale was very much better in 30 cases (83.3%), and much better in 6 cases(16.7%). Conclusions Among patients with mesh exposure after mesh-augmented RPS, 2/3 of patients with a CTS classification 1-3 could be managed in the office,and remaining 1/3 with CTS classification 4-6 need operation under anesthesia in hospital. If the mesh and sling exposure could be scientifically classified, according to the size, site and accompany symptoms, as well as pain, most of the mesh complications after explosure could be resolved. Using the pelvic floor repair and polypropylene mesh sling, the majority of the patients could get a better outcome, without affecting the effect of the original operation.
