Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this video case series is to demonstrate our experience of the clinical findings and the surgical management of the rapid onset de novo rectal prolapse (RP) following colpocleisis METHODS: This is a case series of three patients who developed de novo RP within 1 month after colpocleisis, which was repaired by laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR). The video shows the physical, radiological, and intraoperative findings of these patients. A retrospective review of our surgical cases of RP was also performed to analyze the onset timing of de novo RP after various pelvic organ prolapse (POP) procedures. RESULTS The pathological condition of all three patients' RP was evacuation enterocele, and LVMR was feasible without postoperative complications or recurrences. In the retrospective case review of 158 RP surgeries in our institution (June 2015 to September 2023), 18 cases (11.4%) occurred following POP surgery. De novo RP following colpocleisis developed significantly earlier than those following other procedures (average: 6.1 vs 66.4 months, p = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Although de novo RP following colpocleisis is relatively rare, this complication could have a detrimental effect on patients' quality of life. Preoperative informed consent may be advisable before planning colpocleisis.

Abstract
Background Treatment of total genital prolapse in elderly patients is still controversial in terms of postoperative objective and subjective results. Aim The present study aimed to compare the long-term objective and subjective cure rates of sacrospinous ligament fixation and Le Fort operation for treatment of total genital prolapse. Patients and Methods Patients over the age of 60 with stage 3 or 4 pelvic organ prolapse that presented to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clinic of the Faculty of Medicine of *** University. The study sample consisted of 17 patients that underwent Le Fort operation and 29 patients that underwent sacrospinous ligament fixation. Data on duration of operation, intraoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and differences between preoperative and postoperative estimated blood loss, postoperative complications, and relapse in the long term were obtained. Questionnaires exploring quality of life, incontinence, and pelvic floor disorders were applied to the patients. Results As subjective cure rates, postoperative patient satisfaction (P = 0.001), regret rate (P = 0.038) and recommendation rate (P = 0.044), as well as postoperative questionnaire results, Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire and SF36 were found to be significantly better in the Le Fort group (respectively P = 0.039 and 0.042). As objective cure rates, there was no difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative cystocele, rectocele, and cystorectocele (P = 0.955) and postoperative recurrence of prolapse beyond the hymen (P: 0.893). Duration of operation and duration of hospital stay were found to be significantly shorter in the Le Fort group (respectively P = 0.032 and 0.012). Conclusion Le Fort operation could be the intervention of choice in sexually inactive elderly patients with stage 3 or 4 pelvic organ prolapse.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the sexually inactive status of patients with pelvic organ prolapse before colpocleisis and postoperative satisfaction and regret rate. METHODS A retrospective study of patients with pelvic organ prolapse who underwent colpocleisis was conducted in our hospital from January 2007 to April 2019. Records were reviewed before surgery for general clinical characteristics, duration, and reasons for being sexually inactive. Follow-up was conducted by telephone about patient satisfaction, Patient Global Impression of Improvement score, and regret rate after surgery. RESULTS The mean age of the 247 patients was 73.8 ± 5.58 years. A total of 76.9% (190/247) described the duration of being sexually inactive, and the mean time was 12.6 ± 8.69 years. The 247 patients gave the following reasons for being sexually inactive: 52.2% (129/247) were widowed and 37.2% (92/247) reported the physical health factors of their spouses or sexual partners. The first male factor was nervous system disease (37.0%, 34/92). A total of 5.3% (13/247) were patient-related factors and 5.3% (13/247) were factors of both the male and female. A total of 195 patients underwent follow-up, the rate was 78.9% (195/247), and the follow-up time was 39.7 ± 37.5 (2-140) months. A total of 98.5% (192/195) of patients were very satisfied. A total of 98.9% (193/195) of patients were very much improved or improved in Patient Global Impression of Improvement score. A total of 1.02% (2/195) of patients regretted having colpocleisis nearly 2 years later. CONCLUSIONS The main reason for being sexually inactive was having been widowed. Colpocleisis was associated with high satisfaction rates and low regret rate.

Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis The aims were to review the literature from the last two decades and analyze treatment efficacy and findings of the studies on colpocleisis. Methods A systematic search was conducted within the MEDLINE/PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov databases, using the following keywords: pelvic organ prolapse (POP), colpocleisis, obliterative, and LeFort. All English full-text prospective and retrospective observational and interventional studies were included. Anatomical and subjective success, surgical techniques, concomitant procedures, complication rates, anesthesia methods, and decision regret were analyzed. Results A total of 237 papers were identified and 49 met the inclusion criteria. Mean patient age was 69.0 ± 8.0 to 84 ± 3.1. Over 90.2% of patients undergoing colpocleisis were diagnosed with POP stage ≥ 3. The follow-up ranged from 30 days to a median of 5 years. Anatomical success, defined as POP-Q stage ≤ 1 and no prolapse beyond the hymen, was achieved in 62.5 to 100% and 87.5 to 100% of all patients respectively. Subjective success ranged from 88% to 100%. Regret over the loss of coital ability ranged from 0% in many studies to 12.9%, general decision regret from 0% to 13.8%. After concomitant midurethral sling surgery, 86.8% to 94% of all patients were continent, with a 0–14% sling revision rate due to urinary retention. Urinary tract infection was the most common postoperative complication (4.3 to 9% confirmed with urine culture, 34.7% based on symptom definition). Bowel (0 to 2.7%) and urinary tract (0 to 9.1%) injuries were the consequences of concomitant procedures. The mortality rates were up to 1.3%. Conclusions Colpocleisis is a heterogeneous procedure, characterized by high subjective and objective success, low coital ability regret, and a low risk of complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Transient urinary retention occurs frequently after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. While the prevalence of postoperative urinary retention has been reported for reconstructive procedures, a paucity of data exists for colpocleisis. The objectives of this retrospective cohort study were to identify risk factors for transient urinary retention after colpocleisis and to determine the rate of its occurrence. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for patients undergoing colpocleisis from January 2015 to December 2019 in a high-volume urogynecology practice. Patients were excluded if they required prolonged catheterization postoperatively because of a surgical complication or used a catheter before surgery, or if a suprapubic catheter was placed during surgery. Potential patient and procedural risk factors were analyzed. Transient urinary retention was diagnosed if patients failed their postoperative voiding trial and went home with a catheter. RESULTS A total of 172 patients met the inclusion criteria. The incidence of transient postoperative urinary retention was 55%, with rates of 36.7% with LeFort colpocleisis, 51.5% with posthysterectomy colpocleisis, and 64.9% with colpocleisis with concomitant hysterectomy. Logistic regression revealed an increased risk of postoperative urinary retention if hysterectomy was performed at the time of colpocleisis (odds ratio, 2.9; confidence interval, 1.23-6.84; P = 0.015). Patient age, prolapse severity, preoperative postvoid residual volume, and concomitant anti-incontinence procedure were not associated with transient postoperative urinary retention. CONCLUSIONS Transient urinary retention occurs in more than half of patients after colpocleisis. Patients undergoing concomitant hysterectomy have the highest risk of postoperative urinary retention. Surgeons can use this information both for counseling and management decisions for individual patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE As the population ages, obliterative procedures (OP) are expected to become an increasingly important treatment option. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate vaginal and urinary symptoms 3 months after OP and peri- and postoperative complications. The secondary aim was to investigate long-term outcomes, including patient satisfaction, regret rate and the rate of symptomatic recurrent prolapse after OP. Another secondary aim was to evaluate the feasibility of performing OP under local anesthesia (LA) as increasingly more operations are performed under LA. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study of 43 women who underwent OP during a 10-year period. Patients completed three prolapse questions from the International Consultation on Incontinence-Vaginal Symptoms (ICIQ-VS) and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire- Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) before undergoing surgery, 3 months postoperatively and at long-term follow-up. Records were reviewed for complications, use of anesthetics, recurrences, patient satisfaction and regret. RESULTS A Le Fort colpocleisis was performed in 31 (72 %) and a colpectomy in 12 (28 %) patients. At 3 months` follow-up, patients had a statistically significant improvement in vaginal symptoms. Twelve patients (46 %) became continent, compared with 14 (54 %) with remaining urinary incontinence (UI). There were no patients with de novo UI 3 months' after surgery. Total complication rate was 4,6% (2/43). A symptomatic recurrent prolapse occurred in 4 patients (9.3 %). The satisfaction rate was 86 %. No patients reported regret choosing to have vaginal closure surgery. Twenty one (49 %) of the procedures were performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. CONCLUSION Obliterative procedures are good surgical options for elderly women with a positive impact on vaginal and urinary symptoms, low complication and recurrence rate. Patients report high satisfaction and no regret over loss of sexual ability at longterm follow-up. OP under LA with intravenous sedation is a feasible and safe option.

Surgical and quality of life outcomes after pelvic organ prolapse surgery in older postmenopausal women. MENOPAUSE REVIEW 2021; 20:21-28. [PMID: 33935616 PMCID: PMC8077809 DOI: 10.5114/pm.2021.104473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 01/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Introduction To evaluate the surgical outcome, and quality of life (QoL) 12-months after Le Fort colpocleisis (LFC), and sacrospinous fixation (SSF) in older postmenopausal women. Material and methods Eighty-six (86) post-menopausal women were included in this study (38 in the LFC group and 48 in the SSF group). Pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) was used to evaluate the participants’ pelvic organ prolapse (POP) pre-operatively and post-operatively (PO). The Arabic version of the WHOQoL-BREF Inventory was used to evaluate the participants’ QoL preoperatively and post-operatively. The surgical outcome and QoL 12-months after LFC and SSF were analysed to evaluate the surgical outcome, as well as QoL 12 months after LFC and SSF. Results The pre-operative Aa, Ba, D, Ap, and Bp values of POP-Q significantly improved 12 months PO in the LFC group (p1 = 0.004, 0.0006, 0.02, 0.004, and 0.0001; respectively), and in the SSF group (p1 = 0.003, 0.0003, 0.003, 0.0005, and 0.01, respectively). Eighty (93.02%) of the studied women had no prolapse at 12-month PO follow-up. The 12-month PO psychological and social health domains were significantly higher in the SSF group compared to the LFC group (p2 = 0.04, and 0.02, respectively). In addition, the 12-month PO general health satisfaction and total QoL scores were significantly higher in the SSF group compared to the LFC group (p2 = 0.03 and 0.01, respectively). Conclusions LFC can be considered a good surgical procedure with minimal or neglectable complications for POP in older postmenopausal women with multiple co-morbidities. The psychological and social health domains, general health satisfaction, and total QoL score were significantly higher in the SSF group compared to LFC group 12 months PO.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The objective was to investigate the long-term efficacy and patient satisfaction of Le Fort colpocleisis for the treatment of severe pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent Le Fort colpocleisis from January 2007 to August 2018 in our hospital. Follow-up was conducted via outpatient visits or the telephone. Records were reviewed for anatomical recurrence, complications, urinary and intestinal symptoms post-operation, reoperation rate, patient satisfaction, Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) score, regret rate etc. RESULTS: A total of 208 patients underwent follow-up. The follow-up time was 60.7 ± 34.18 (12-140) months. There were no intraoperative complications. Postoperative urinary retention occurred in 3.8% of patients (8 out of 208). There was no anatomical recurrence. New or more severe urinary symptoms occurred in 8.7% of patients (18 out of 208); new or more severe intestinal symptoms occurred in 1.9% of patients (4 out of 208). The reoperation rate was 1.44% (3 out of 208). Three cases of reoperation occurred for the following reasons: a case of severe stress urinary incontinence, a case of abscess in the vaginal septum, and a case of uterine malignancy after 2 years of colpocleisis. Patient satisfaction was as follows: 98.6% (205 out of 208) of patients were very satisfied. The PGI-I score was very much improved or improved in 99.5% (207 out of 208) of patients. A total of 0.96% (2 out of 208) of patients regretted undergoing colpocleisis. CONCLUSIONS The long-term follow-up results showed that Le Fort colpocleisis was a safe and effective surgical procedure associated with high satisfaction. There was a very low regret rate, but the procedure should be taken seriously.
