Objective To compare sexual function and quality of life in women who underwent McCall culdoplasty versus sacrospinous ligament fixation for pelvic organ prolapse. Materials and methods This study was conducted in our urogyanecology clinic between July 2015 and June 2019. We included sexually active postmenopausal women who had undergone either McCall culdoplasty ( n:80 patients) or sacrospinous ligament fixation ( n:38 patients) procedure for threatened POP. Patients in both groups were matched according to age and body mass index. Sexual function between both groups was evaluated with the pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence sexual function 12 patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and quality of life with the prolapse quality of life (PQOL) PROMs. Results Emotional domain was low in the McCall culdoplasty group (21.4 ± 10.1 vs. 30.8 ± 15.2; p = 0.03). There were no significant differences in other P-QOL domains. Pain during intercourse was more in the sacrospinous ligament fixation group (2.9 ± 1.6 vs. 1.3 ± 1.1; p = 0.04). The mean operation time in the McCall culdoplasty group was shorter than the sacrospinous ligament fixation group ( p = 0.03). There was no difference between the two surgical procedures performed in terms of intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay. The prevalence of recurrence in the McCall culdoplasty group was 6.2%, and that of sacrospinous ligament fixation was 5% ( p = 0.75) in one year follow-up. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that McCall culdoplasty has a more positive effect on QOL and sexuality than sacrospinous ligament fixation in appropriately selected patients. McCall culdoplasty could be considered as a good option in the treatment of advanced pelvic organ prolapse in elderly patients.

Abstract   Background : Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition in which interna genitalia protrude into vagina, or even out of vagina. This occur due to weaknesses of pelvic muscle, fascia and ligaments support. Sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSF) is an ideal vaginal procedure for POP repair with 90-95% success rate. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of SSF in patients with POP at dr. Mohammad Hoesin hospital (RSMH) Palembang Method: Randomized clinical trial (RCT) was performed at RSMH Palembang from January to September 2017. There were 30 samples of pelvic organ prolapse who met the inclusion criteria. Data frequency and distribution were described in table form and the effectiveness of SSF were analyzed by Wilcoxon / paired t-test while the effectiveness ratio was analyzed by Mann Whitney / independent t-test. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. Result: There were no differences in patient characteristics (age, parity, body weight, height, and occupation) between the two treatment groups (p <0.05). There were differences of breech pain (proctalgia) before and after 1, 3, and 6 months post operation in SSF group (p <0.05), in which proctalgia was more exquisite after than before surgery. The results showed that SSF was effective in reducing urinary disorders, defecation disorders, vaginal prolapse, cystocele and rectocele, and effectively improving the quality of life of POP patient. In addition, there was a difference of proctalgia and vaginal prolapse 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery between two groups where the adverse outcome of the proctalgia was more significant in SSF group but the vaginal prolapse was more significant in the non-SSF group. There were no differences in bleeding complications (p = 1,000) and infection (p = 1,000) between the two groups. Conclusion: Sacrospinosus Fixation was effectively reduces the vaginal prolapse of pelvic organ prolapse patients.

Prolapsus organ panggul (POP) merupakan keadaan dimana suatu organ genitalia turun kedalam vagina, bahkan mungkin keluar liang vagina. Hal ini terjadi dikarenakan kelemahan otot, fasia dan ligamen penyokongnya. Sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSF) adalah prosedur vaginal yang ideal untuk perbaikan POP dengan tingkat keberhasilan 90-95%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas SSF pada penderita prolaps organ panggul di rumah sakit dr. Mohammad Hoesin (RSMH) Palembang Metode: Uji klinis acak berpembanding (RCT) dilakukan di RSMH Palembang sejak bulan Januari sampai September 2017. Didapatkan sampel sebanyak 30 penderita prolaps organ panggul yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Frekuensi dan distribusi data dijelaskan dalam bentuk table dan efektivitas SSF dianalisis dengan uji Wilcoxon/paired t-test dan perbandingan efektivitas dianalisa dengan uji Mann Whitney/independent t-Test menggunakan SPSS versi 16.0. Hasil: Analisis statistik tidak terdapat perbedaan karakteristik pasien baik umur, paritas, berat badan, tinggi badan, dan pekerjaan antara kedua kelompok perlakuan (p< 0,05). Didapatkan bahwa SSF efektif mengurangi gangguan berkemih, gangguan defekasi, prolaps vagina, sistokel dan rektokel serta meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien POP, namun terdapat perbedaan nyeri bokong (proktalgia) sebelum dan sesudah 1 bulan, 3 bulan dan 6 bulan operasi pada group SSF (p <0,05). dimana proktalgia lebih dirasakan setelah operasi dibandingkan sebelum operasi. Selain itu terdapat perbedaan proklatgia dan prolaps vagina 1,3 dan 6 bulan setelah operasi antar kedua group dimana proktalgia lebih dirasakan pada kelompok SSF namun prolaps vagina lebih banyak dialami oleh kelompok non SSF. Tidak terdapat perbedaan komplikasi perdarahan (p = 1,000) dan infeksi (p = 1,000) antara kedua kelompok. Simpulan: Fiksasi sakrospinosus efektif mengurangi prolaps vagina pasien prolaps organ panggul. Kata Kunci:. Berkemih, Defekasi, Fiksasi sacrospinosus, Kualitas Hidup, Nyeri Bokong, Rektokel, Sistoke

Abstract Background Symptomatic prolapse impairs quality of life. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is considered an important outcome of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. However, it is rarely reported, and measures are inadequately used. Thus, studies reporting patient-reported surgical outcomes in low-income contexts are needed. This study aims to evaluate the effect of prolapse surgery on patient HRQoL and determine the predictive factors for change in HRQoL. Methods A total of 215 patients who had prolapse stage III or IV were enrolled. Patients underwent vaginal native tissue repair, and their HRQoL was evaluated at baseline, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Effect of surgery on subjective outcomes were measured using validated Prolapse Quality of Life (P-QoL-20), Prolapse Symptom Score (POP-SS), Body Image in Prolapse (BIPOP), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Patient Global Index of Improvement (PGI-I) tools. A linear mixed-effect model was used to compare pre- and postoperative P-QoL scores and investigate potential predictors of the changes in P-QoL scores. Results In total, 193 (89.7%) patients were eligible for analysis at 3 months, and 185 (86.0%) at 6 months. Participant’s mean age was 49.3 ± 9.4 years. The majority of patients had prolapse stage III (81.9%) and underwent vaginal hysterectomy (55.3%). All domains of P-QoL improved significantly after surgery. Altogether more than 72% of patients reported clinically meaningful improvement in condition-specific quality of life measured with P-QoL-20 at 6 months. An improvement in POP-SS, BIPOP, and the PHQ-9 scores were also observed during both follow-up assessments. At 6 months after surgery, only 2.7% of patients reported the presence of bulge symptoms. A total of 97.8% of patients had reported improvement in comparison to the preoperative state, according to PGI-I. The change in P-QoL score after surgery was associated with the change in POP-SS, PHQ, BIPOP scores and marital status (p < 0.001). However, age, type of surgery, and prolapse stage were not associated with the improvement of P-QoL scores. Conclusions Surgical repair for prolapse effectively improves patient’s HRQoL, and patient satisfaction is high. The result could be useful for patient counselling on the expected HRQoL outcomes of surgical treatment. Surgical service should be accessible for patients suffering from POP to improve HRQoL.

Objective. Our aim was to study the efficacy of transvaginal bilateral sacrospinous fixation (TBSF) and its impact on quality of life (QoL) and sexual functions in women affected by second recurrences of vaginal vault prolapse (VVP). Materials and Methods. We performed a prospective observational study on 20 sexually active patients affected by second recurrence of VVP, previously treated with monolateral sacrospinous fixation. TBSF was performed in all the patients. They had been evaluated before the surgery and at 12-month follow-up through pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) system, Short Form-36 (SF-36), and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12). Results. At 12-month follow-up, 18 out of 20 (90%) patients were cured of their recurrent VVP. No major intra- and postoperative complications occurred. We found a significant improvement in 4/5 POP-Q landmarks (excluding total vaginal length), SF-36, and PISQ-12 scores. Conclusion. According to our data analysis, TBSF appears to be safe, effective, and able to improve both QoL and sexual functions in patients affected by second recurrence of VVP after previous monolateral sacrospinous fixation.
