Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Sacrocolpopexy is the preferred contemporary approach to managing significant apical pelvic organ prolapse. Obesity is an established risk factor for several surgical procedures and can have a negative impact on outcomes. Our goal was to evaluate the impact of BMI on the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in women with pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS: A single-center retrospective observational study of women undergoing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2017. RESULTS: We found 299 procedures: 82 (27.4%), 147 (49.2%) and 70 (23.4%) in women with BMI <25 (normal weight), BMI ≥ 25 - < 30 (overweight) and BMI ≥ 30 (obese), respectively. Perioperative and early postoperative complications were generally low and not statistically significantly different between the groups. At 12 months postoperatively, 81 (98.8%), 136 (92.5%) and 62 (88.6%) normal-weight, overweight and obese women attended their follow-up, respectively. All obese women attending the follow-up scored an overall Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) of ≤ 3. The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) scores showed a significant improvement in all domains and were similar between the study groups. In total, there was one (0.4%) anatomical apical compartment failure, three (1.1%) anterior compartment failures and two (0.7%) posterior compartment failures with no significant differences between the groups. Similarly, there were no differences in functional outcomes or mesh position as assessed by ultrasound. CONCLUSIONS: There were no differences in surgical, short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse in obese compared with non-obese women.
