Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy following vaginal hysterectomy, focusing on perioperative and early postoperative results. The impact of V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy on patients' quality of life is investigated using validated assessment tools. Additionally, operative time, complications, pain scores were assessed.

Read the detailed description

Patients who presented to the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic with complaints related to pelvic organ prolapse, had stage III or IV prolapse according to POP-Q classification, were between 45 and 79 years old, had no contraindications for pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position, and were eligible to perform transvaginal NOTES and gave written informed consent were included in the study. Demographic data, age, medical and surgical history, body mass index (BMI), operation time, preoperative and postoperative haemoglobin levels, perioperative complications and length of hospital stay were collected. Pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) scores were evaluated before and 1 month after surgery. Quality of life was evaluated before and 1 month after surgery with the Turkish-validated Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) and Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20).

Study arms

  • Experimental
    V NOTES Sacrocolpopexy arm

    V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy was performed who met the eligibility criteria and gave written informed consent. Pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) scores were evaluated before and 1 month after surgery. Quality of life was evaluated before and 1 month after surgery with the Turkish-validated Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) and Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20).

    Procedure: V NOTES Sacrocolpopexy

Interventions

  • ProcedureV NOTES Sacrocolpopexy

    The procedure involved a single-port laparoscopic surgery through the vaginal route, aiming to restore pelvic floor function by suspending the vagina to the anterior longitudinal ligament. The surgical approach differs from conventional methods, as these procedures are conducted through abdominal or vaginal routes without the aid of laparoscopic cameras, However, in our approach, we uniquely combine the widely acknowledged gold standard sacrocolpopexy procedure using vaginal route with laparoscopic camera assistance. No experimental drugs or devices were employed; only the surgical approach was modified.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The impact of V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy on patients' quality of life regarding daily activities and emotional health

    The impact of pelvic floor function on daily activities and emotional health of life was evaluated before and 1 month after surgery with the Turkish-validated Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7). This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy following vaginal hysterectomy, focusing on perioperative and early postoperative results.

    Time frame: 1 month

  2. The impact of V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy on patients' quality of life regarding level of discomfort

    The level of discomfort associated with symptoms was evaluated before and 1 month after surgery with the Turkish-validated Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7). This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy following vaginal hysterectomy, focusing on perioperative and early postoperative results.

    Time frame: 1 month
