Perioperative Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Sacrocolpopexy Based on Route of Concurrent Hysterectomy: A Secondary Analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database.
The objective of this study was to describe perioperative outcomes of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (MISCP) based on 4 different routes of concurrent hysterectomy: vaginal (VH), laparoscopic-assisted (LAVH), laparoscopic supracervical (LSCH), and total laparoscopic (TLH). ⋯ Regardless of route of concurrent hysterectomy, MISCP is associated with low rates of 30-day complications, reoperation, and readmission.
