Description
Kenji Kuroda and co-authors ask whether the simpler of two prolapse operations is good enough. Pelvic organ prolapse can be repaired through the abdomen with a laparoscope or through the vagina with mesh. Their hospital tended to reserve the abdominal route for severe cases, skewing any raw comparison.
From two hundred thirty-eight patients, the team matched seventy-six pairs on body mass, prolapse stage, and past abdominal surgery. After matching, the groups tied on recurrence, incontinence, and mesh exposure, even among the most severe stage. The vaginal route kept its edge in shorter operating time and fewer complications. The authors conclude it suffices for most patients, sparing them the bigger operation.
