Laparoscopic PectopexyLaparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy

Laparoscopic Pectopexy: to evaluate the effectiveness and learning curve of laparoscopic pectopexy in comparison with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for the treatment of apical prolapse performed by the same surgeon.

Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy: Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy

Study summary

Pelvic organ prolapse, particularly apical prolapse, is a common condition among aging women, and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is considered the standard surgical treatment due to its high anatomical success. However, it poses technical challenges and risks related to sacral dissection.

Laparoscopic pectopexy, a newer technique using the iliopectineal ligament for mesh fixation, offers a safer anatomical route with shorter operative time and fewer complications. The previous studies evaluate the sacrocolpopexy and pectopexy are all retrospective. This study is prospective randomized controlled study that adds Comparison on the success rate and learning curve of pectopexy versus sacrocolpopexy .
