Sexual function after anterior vaginal wall prolapse surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to compare female sexual function after surgical treatment of anterior vaginal prolapse with either small intestine submucosa grafting or traditional colporrhaphy.

Methods

Subjects were randomly assigned, preoperatively, to the small intestine submucosa graft (n = 29) or traditional colporrhaphy (n = 27) treatment group. Postoperative outcomes were analyzed at 12 months. The Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire was used to assess sexual function. Data were compared with independent samples or a paired Student's t-test.

Results

In the small intestine submucosa group, the total mean Female Sexual Function Index score increased from 15.5±7.2 to 24.4±7.5 (p<0.001). In the traditional colporrhaphy group, the total mean Female Sexual Function Index score increased from 15.3±6.8 to 24.2±7.0 (p<0.001). Improvements were noted in the domains of desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. There were no differences between the two groups at the 12-month follow-up.

Conclusions

Small intestine submucosa repair and traditional colporrhaphy both improved sexual function postoperatively. However, no differences were observed between the two techniques.

Project description:Introduction and hypothesisFollowing health notification by the FDA in 2008 of serious complications with transvaginal mesh for anterior pelvic organ prolapse, there has been a return to native tissue repairs. Earlier work with a self-retaining support (SRS) implant showed a high anatomical success rate with minimal implant-related complications over a medium-term follow-up. It is proposed that post-implant complications are more a consequence of the method of mesh anchoring rather than the implant itself. Our system incorporates an ultralight mesh with a frame that provides level I, II, and III support without the need for fixation. The first long-term outcomes of SRS implantation are presented.MethodsA prospective multicenter trial was conducted using two consecutive identical protocols of the use of the SRS implant in women with symptomatic anterior compartment prolapse extending their follow-up to 36 months. Anatomical success (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification stage 0 or 1 or a Ba ≤ -2) was recorded along with subjective success as defined by regular quality-of-life (PFDI-20 and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire) assessments.ResultsSixty-seven patients completed 36 months of follow-up. Mean Ba measurements improved from 3.1 (-1 to 6) cm to -2.8 (-1 to -3) cm and C point from 0.4 (-8 to 6) cm to -6.9 (-10 cm to 1) cm. accumulating to a significant anatomical success rate of 94.3%. Subjective success based on question #3 of the PFDI-20, analyzed for the index surgical compartment, reached 95.7%. Post-operative complications included 2 cases of urinary retention, 1 minor frame exposure, 1 case of delayed voiding dysfunction, and 2 cases of de novo stress urinary incontinence. Untreated pre-operative second-degree Bp measurements had increased in 27% at follow-up.ConclusionThe long-term outcome of the SRS implant shows an excellent subjective and objective success with minimal risk of complications or need for reintervention.
