Abstract
Objectives

A prospective study was conducted to assess the efficacy of sacrospinous vaginal vault fixation and its impact on the anterior compartment. The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system was used to quantify pelvic organ prolapse in the apical and anterior vaginal compartments.

Methods

Fifty-eight patients underwent a procedure to correct apical prolapse from March 2003 to February 2006. Mean preoperative and postoperative POP-Q scores were respectively: Aa (+0.74; –1.45); Ba (+3.17; –1.36); C (+3.41; –7.71) (p<0.001).

Results

Cure rate was 93.1%. Preoperative and postoperative evaluation of the anterior vaginal compartment was respectively: stage 1 (5.2%; 48.3%), stage 2 (6.9%; 34.5%), stage 3 (74.1%; 5.2%), and stage 4 (13.8%; 0%). De novo cystocele occurred in 87.9% of cases. An improvement was seen in lower urinary tract symptoms of urgency, nocturia, and urge incontinence.

Conclusions

Sacrospinous vaginal vault suspension is effective for the treatment of apical prolapse and leads to formation of cystocele in most cases

Resumen
Objetivos

Se realizó un estudio prospectivo para evaluar la eficacia de la fijación de la cúpula vaginal al ligamento sacroespinoso, y la repercusión sobre el compartimiento anterior. Se utilizó, el sistema (POP-Q) para cuantificar el prolapso de órganos pélvicos del compartimiento vaginal: apical y anterior.

Métodos

Cincuenta y ocho pacientes fueron sometidas al procedimiento de corrección del prolapso apical entre marzo del 2003 y febrero del 2006. La media de puntuación de POP-Q en el preoperatorio y postoperatorio varió, respectivamente: Aa (+0,74; –1,45); Ba (+3,17; –1,36), C (+3,41; –7,71); (p<0,001).

Resultados

La tasa de curación fue del 93,1%. La evaluación del compartimiento anterior de la vagina en el preoperatorio y postoperatorio fue respectivamente: etapa 1 (5,2%; 48,3%), etapa 2 (6,9%; 34,5%), etapa 3 (74,1%; 5,2%) y etapa 4 (13,8%; 0%). El cistocele se produjo de novo en el 87,9%. Hubo mejoría de los síntomas del tracto urinario, como urgencia, nocturia e incontinencia de urgencia.

Conclusiones

La suspensión al ligamento sacroespinoso de la cúpula vaginal es efectiva en el tratamiento del prolapso apical y determina la formación de cistocele en la mayoría de los casos.
