INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was to compare the anatomical and quality of life outcomes of a posterior polypropylene mesh kit versus sacrospinous ligament fixation at the time of hysterectomy for the treatment of uterine prolapse. METHODS:Thirty-two women aged 50 to 75 years with stage III or IV (pelvic organ prolapse quantification system/International Continence Society) uterine prolapse were randomized into two groups (group 1: polypropylene mesh, Nazca R, Promedon, Cordoba, Argentina; group 2: sacrospinous ligament fixation). RESULTS: At 12-month follow-ups, we observed the same anatomical results in both groups. The median operating time, intraoperative blood loss, and perioperative complications were also equal in both groups. There were five cases (35.71%) of mesh erosion, and prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall (cystocele) occurred in 50% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: Similar anatomical and quality of life outcomes were observed with polypropylene mesh and sacrospinous ligament fixation for the treatment of uterine prolapse. Complication rate was higher in the mesh group.
