Laparoscopic pectopexy is a relatively new technique for treating apical prolapse performed using laparoscopic instruments, allowing for smaller incisions, reduced post-operative pain, and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgical techniques. This systematic review aims to compare laparoscopic pectopexy with other surgical methods used to manage apical prolapse.
A comprehensive search was conducted in major medical databases for studies comparing laparoscopic pectopexy and other surgical techniques for apical prolapse management. Outcome measures included apical prolapse recurrence rates, intraoperative and post-operative complications, operation time, patient-reported outcomes, and quality of life assessments. A total of 11 studies were included in this systematic review, and they generally showed that both laparoscopic pectopexy is effective in treating apical prolapse, with low recurrence rates and minimal intraoperative complications. Laparoscopic pectopexy offers other benefits, such as shorter operation times, better patient-reported outcomes, and better post-operative quality of life than other methods.
