Abstract

Background: Abdominal and laparoscopic sacro-colpopexy (LSC) is considered the standard surgical option for the management of a symptomatic apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Women who have their uterus, and for whom an LSC is indicated, can have a laparoscopic sacro-hysteropexy (LSH), a laparoscopic supra-cervical hysterectomy and laparoscopic sacro-cervicopexy (LSCH + LSC) or a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and laparoscopic sacro-colpopexy (TLH + LSC). The main aim of this study was to compare clinical and patient reported outcomes of uterine sparing versus concomitant hysterectomy LSC procedures. Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical, imaging and patient reported outcomes at baseline, 3 and 12 months after LSH versus either LSCH + LSC or TLH + LSC between January 2015 and January 2019 in a tertiary referral urogynecology center in Pilsen, the Czech Republic. Results: In total, 294 women were included in this analysis (LSH n = 43, LSCH + LSC n = 208 and TLH + LSC n = 43). There were no differences in the incidence of perioperative injuries and complications. There were no statistically significant differences between the concomitant hysterectomy and the uterine sparing groups in any of the operative, clinical or patient reported outcomes except for a significantly lower anterior compartment failure rate ( p = 0.017) and higher optimal mesh placement rate at 12 months in women who had concomitant hysterectomy procedures ( p = 0.006). Conclusion: LSH seems to be associated with higher incidence of anterior compartment failures and suboptimal mesh placement based on postoperative imaging techniques compared to LSC with concomitant hysterectomy.

  • Previous studies of the PFDI-20 did not identify significant differences between groups.

    “Similar findings were reported by previous studies [6, 8] of the PFDI‐20 that did not identify significant differences between groups.”

    From Composite Failure Associated With Sacrohysteropexy and Sacrocolpopexy With Supracervical Hysterectomy for Advanced Pelvic Organ Prolapse (2025) · cites this paper as [6]

    The Results report no significant between-group differences in PFDI scores, including changes after surgery. However, the Methods describe the measure used as a PFDI with a 0–1000 summary score, not the PFDI-20 specified in the citing sentence. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Inserting the mesh in the proper position on the anterior vaginal wall is difficult during SHP, and this difficulty was a cause of anterior compartment recurrence according to a previous study.

    “Inserting the mesh in the proper position on the anterior vaginal wall is difficult during SHP; according to a previous study, this difficulty was a cause of anterior compartment recurrence [6].”

    From Composite Failure Associated With Sacrohysteropexy and Sacrocolpopexy With Supracervical Hysterectomy for Advanced Pelvic Organ Prolapse (2025) · cites this paper as [6]

    The Discussion (‘Results in relation to what is known’; page not provided) identifies proper anterior mesh placement during LSH as technically difficult and calls that difficulty a plausible reason for higher anterior-compartment failure. But the authors say they did not test whether mesh placement was associated with clinical outcomes, so the claim that it was a cause overstates their finding. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • A single-center retrospective study reported AF rates at 1 year of 21.1% with SHP and 14.1% with SCH/SCP.

    “Regarding AF at 1 year, a single‐center retrospective study reported rates of 21.1% with SHP and 14.1% with SCH/SCP [6].”

    From Composite Failure Associated With Sacrohysteropexy and Sacrocolpopexy With Supracervical Hysterectomy for Advanced Pelvic Organ Prolapse (2025) · cites this paper as [6]

    The Discussion (Results in relation to what is known; page unavailable) reports a 21.1% anterior-compartment failure rate for LSH at 12 months, but gives 8.8%, not 14.1%, for LSCH + LSC. The Strengths and limitations section describes the study as retrospective and single-center. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • In that study, the rates of recurrence in the apical, anterior, and posterior compartments were 0%, 21.1%, and 0% in the SHP group, and 0%, 7.7%, and 6.4% in the SCH/SCP group.

    “The rates of recurrence in the apical, anterior, and posterior compartments were 0%, 21.1% and 0%, respectively, in the SHP group; however, they were 0%, 7.7% and 6.4%, respectively, in the SCH/SCP group.”

    From Composite Failure Associated With Sacrohysteropexy and Sacrocolpopexy With Supracervical Hysterectomy for Advanced Pelvic Organ Prolapse (2025) · cites this paper as [6]

    The Discussion (Results in relation to what is known; page unavailable) reports 21.1% anterior recurrence and 0% posterior recurrence for LSH, corresponding to the citing sentence’s SHP group, and no apical recurrences at 12 months. But it gives 8.8%, not 7.7%, for anterior recurrence in LSCH + LSC; the passages found do not establish the claimed 6.4% posterior rate for that group. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • There are limited data regarding differences in postoperative recurrence after SHP and SCH/SCP for patients with advanced POP.

    “Furthermore, there are limited data regarding differences in postoperative recurrence after SHP and SCH/SCP for patients with advanced POP.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
