Objective: To evaluate preoperative, perioperative and postoperative data, complications and results in long-term follow-up at patients who underwent Miyazaki´s sacrospinous suspension between January 2002 and December 2018.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University in Olomouc.
Methods: The evaluation of results of 240 patients who underwent Myiazaki sacrospinous suspension for vaginal prolaps between January 2002 and December 2018.
Results: The mean age of patients operated between 2014-2018 was higher than the mean age of all patients. Perioperative and early postoperative complications were analysed in six tables and two graphs. The most common complications were transient urinary retention (5.24%), urinary tract infection (3.80%) and pelvic hematoma (7.14%). In the long-term follow-up (131 patients over 24 months) the recurrence of apical defect was recorded at 12 (9.16%), cystocele at 26 (19.85%) and rectocele/enterocele at 3 (2.29%) patients. Patients with recurrence of vaginal vault prolapse underwent Miyazaki´s sacrospinous resuspension in four, transvaginal mesh insertion in three and sacropexy in five cases.
Conclusion: Miyazakis sacrospinous suspension is an effective and safe method how to correct vaginal apical prolapse. The introduction of new surgical methods probably explains the shift of the age of the patients to the older ones in the last years. The most frequent early postoperative complications were urinary tract infections and pelvic hematomas. In the long-term follow up they were the recurrences of the prolaps of the anterior compartment. Total recurent apical vaginal prolaps was recorded at 12 patients (9.16%.).
