Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine if graft augmentation with anterior colporrhaphy (AC+G) is associated with higher complication rates compared to native tissue repair (AC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study using data from the ACS-NSQIP database between 2010 and 2017. CPT codes were used to identify women undergoing AC+G and AC. Propensity scores for the likelihood of undergoing AC+G were calculated and were used to match to women undergoing native tissue repair at a ratio of 1:2. The primary outcome was the composite complication rate. Descriptive statistics are reported as means with standard deviations for parametric data and as medians and interquartile ranges for non-parametric data. Pairwise comparisons were performed using Fisher's exact test, Wilcoxon rank-sum and Student's t test as appropriate. Multivariable logistic regression was then used to adjust for confounders to identify statistically significant factors associated with the likelihood of experiencing a complication after prolapse repair. RESULTS: 582 women met inclusion criteria for AC+G and were matched with 1164 women undergoing AC. There were no differences in preoperative characteristics between groups. There was no difference in the composite complication rate, (10.8% vs. 8.5%, p = 0.13) between groups. Dependent functional status (aOR 4.31, 95% CI 1.96-13.58) was the strongest predictor of the likelihood of a complication: other significant predictors were operating time greater than 20 min (aOR 1.68, 95% CI 1.19-2.38) and ASA class greater than 2 (aOR 1.44, 95% CI 1.01-2.05). CONCLUSION: There is no increase in 30-day complication rates in women undergoing AC+G compared to a matched cohort of those undergoing AC alone.
