ABDOMINAL SACRAL COLPOPEXY MICKEY KARRAM MD THE CHRIST HOSPITAL UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI
CONTRAVERSIES ABOUT ASC What are indications? What are real outcomes Is it difficult to perform? Is it standardized? Are TV mesh repairs comparable? Do we need to do additional vaginal procedures ?
ASC Outcomes I. Nygaard´s Review (f-up 3-36 months): Success Apical prolapse 78-100% All prolapse 58-100% Satisfaction 85-100% Cochrane: Better than SSF lower rate of recurrent vault prolapse Less dyspareunia BUT… Longer operation, longer recovery, more expensive, later return to activities of daily living More complications Nygaard IE, et al. Pelvic Floor Disorders Network. Obstet Gynecol, 2004;104(4):805-23. Maher C et al. Cochrane Incont.Group Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 4, 2008.

ASC +/- PR Nonrandomized Retrospective review 3 Centers in Texas 1997-2004 191 patients 34 posterior colporraphy (18%) Indicated in the most severe cases 14 perineorraphy (7%) Max follow up 34mo
Hysterectomy or Graft 168 patients retrospective review follow up 36mo Group 1 TAH + SCP with mesh 63pt Group 2 SCHysteropexy with mesh 35pt Group 3 TAH + A Usacral Colpopexy
CRADI: ColoRectalAnal Distress Inventory AJOG 2007, 197: 642 CRADI: ColoRectalAnal Distress Inventory CRAIQ: ColoRectalAnal Impact Questionnaire
Limitations Not the primary endpoint PR were not randomized as Burch was PR were performed according to the surgeons discretion
Conclusion Effective apical surgery reduces obstructive symptoms (with or without PR) Apical defects may have a higher impact in PC symptoms than previously thought!!! Patients receiving systematic posterior repairs at the time of SCP may be more prone to new onset PC symptoms like incontinence and pain
Sexual Function

Secual Activity after SCP Conclusion Improvement of sexual activity after SCP Substantial decrease in dyspareunia 34/76 non S.A. became sexually active NO increase in dyspareunia after Burch Dyspareunia more frequent after PR (N/S) USEFUL INFORMATION ON COUNSELING
