Study summary

The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess the outcomes of robotic sacrocolpopexy for repair of pelvic organ prolapse in high volume european centers.

Read the detailed description

To prospectively assess the outcomes of robotic sacrocolpopexy for repair of pelvic organ prolapse in high volume european centers.

Primary outcome: anatomical cure rate (using simplified POP-Q staging system)

Secondary outcomes:

complication assessment (Clavien-Dindo), functional results, intraoperative variables, impact of surgery on quality of life (PFIQ-7, PISQ-12)

    Procedure: Robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC)

Interventions

  • ProcedureRobotic assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC)

    Robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) will be performed with the Da Vinci Surgical robot (Intuitive Surgical). THe mesh used will be a Type I (Amid classification), polypropylene mesh

    Also known as: sacrocolpopexy, colpopexy, promontofixation, hysteropexy, colposacrohysteropexy, sacropexy

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. anatomical cure after robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy (or absence of recurrent prolapse)

    anatomical cure (defined as any simplified POP-Q point \<2) will be assessed at regular intervals(see time frame). If any postoperative POP-Q point will be ≥2, this will be recorded as a recurrent prolapse.

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. intra- peri- and postoperative complications

    complications occurring during surgery are defined as "intraoperative complication", within 3 weeks from surgery will be defined as "perioperative complication". Complications occurring after this timeframe will be regarded as "late complications", if related to surgery (e.g. mesh erosion)

    Time frame: intraoperative to 6 weeks after surgery

  2. quality of life

    impact of prolapse repair on quality of life will be assessed via specific validated questionnaires (PFIQ-7, PISQ-12)

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year (yearly thereafter, if feasible)

  3. postoperative pain

    pain will be assessed on a visual analogue scale (range 0 to 10= 0 no pain, 10 unbearable pain)

    Time frame: on postoperative day 1

  4. intraoperative variables

    intraoperative variables are recorded, such as: blood loss, duration of surgery (divided in robotic setup time, console time and surgery completion time). Concomitant procedures, such as adhesiolysis will also be recorded

    Time frame: intraoperative

  5. impact of uterus management

    logistic regression analysis will be performed to evaluate if different surgical approaches in presence, -or absence, of the uterus (e.g. supracervical hysterectomy, uterus sparing surgery), have an effect on primary and secondary outcomes

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year (yearly thereafter, if feasible)

  6. anatomical cure after robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy (or absence of recurrent prolapse)

    anatomical cure (defined as any simplified POP-Q point \<2) will be assessed at regular intervals(see time frame). If any postoperative POP-Q point will be ≥2, this will be recorded as a recurrent prolapse.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  7. anatomical cure after robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy (or absence of recurrent prolapse)

    anatomical cure (defined as any simplified POP-Q point \<2) will be assessed at regular intervals(see time frame). If any postoperative POP-Q point will be ≥2, this will be recorded as a recurrent prolapse.

    Time frame: 1 year, yearly thereafter (if feasible)
