INTRODUCTION: Surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects sexual function. Generally, this results in improved sexual function, but deterioration is reported also. AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare sexual function in patients with recurrent POP undergoing either avaginal surgical repair with native tissue or a trocar-guided mesh insertion. METHODS: Sexually active patients randomly assigned to either native tissue repair or trocar-guided mesh insertion, which had completed the pelvic organ prolapse (POP)/urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire (PISQ-12) both at baseline and at 12 months, were included. Total, subscale, and individual question analysis were performed. Logistic regression was used to identify factors that were independently associated with improvement/deterioration in total PISQ-12 scores. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary outcome was sexual function at 12 months following surgery, measured by the short form of the pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire (PISQ-12). Secondary outcomes were the identification of factors independently associated with change in PISQ-12 scores and changes in individual PISQ-12 question scores. RESULTS:Sixty patients were included; 32 in the mesh arm and 28 in the native tissue arm. At 12 months, PISQ-12 scores were not different in both treatment arms (34.3, standard deviation [SD] 6.7 vs. 34.7, SD 5.7), but improvement was detected in the native tissue arm, whereas PISQ-12 total score remained unchanged in the mesh arm. Deteriorations were observed in the behavioral/emotive subscale and partner-related items in the mesh arm. In the native tissue arm, significant improvements in the physical and partner-related subscales were observed. The presence of mesh exposure was independently associated with deterioration in total PISQ-12 score. CONCLUSION: At 12 months, PISQ-12 scores were not different in either treatment arm, but were affected differently by trocar-guided mesh insertion or by native tissue repair. Mesh exposure was independently associated with deterioration in sexual function.
