There was no changed in rates of concurrent procedures (p[0.41). Those with concurrent procedures were more likely to be younger (p<0.001), have longer length of stay (LOS) (p<0.001), and higher hospital charges (p<0.001) than sacrocolpopexy alone, but LOS and hospital charges were no different than rectopexy alone (Table 1). Sacrocolpopexy alone had lower complication rates when comparing any complication, digestive, respiratory, and bowel complications (p<0.001) vs. either rectopexy or concurrent procedures. No differences in wound, urinary, or cardiovascular complications were seen when comparing concurrent procedures versus either alone. CONCLUSIONS: Women undergoing sacrocolpopexy experience fewer complications than women undergoing rectopexy, but complication rates are not increased by performing concurrent sacrocolpopexy and rectopexy when compared to rectopexy alone. Select patients who desire both sacrocolpopexy and rectopexy may benefit from concurrent procedures without increasing complications, LOS, or hospital charges. The stable trend of concurrent sacrocolpopexy and rectopexy suggests that this combined approach has yet to be widely adopted.
At 12 months after surgery: weight mean: 78 kg, and body mass index: 30.9 Kg/m2 and the persistence of UI was 13.4%.With chi-square analysis: Type and frequency of Incontinence as well as Quality of life were statistically significant difference between before and after surgery. (Table . 2)The complete resolution was present in 81% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Conclusions: In our study confirmed that weight loss after bariatric surgery has a high resolution of UI, and should be considered as the first line of treatment. Although the main objectives of bariatric surgery are to reduce cardiovascular morbidities, the recovery and / or improvement of UI must be evaluated routinely, offering another important long-term benefit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
