Abstract

Objective: The objective is to compare robotic sacral colpopexy (RSC) utilizing autologous fascia lata with RSC with synthetic mesh in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Methods: We performed a prospective nonrandomized case comparison trial at a single institution. We compared RSC utilizing either synthetic mesh or autologous fascia lata in women with symptomatic POP, stages II through IV. The primary outcome was anatomic prolapse recurrence determined by the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) examination. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported outcomes such as the Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7). Complications were also recorded and categorized using the Clavien–Dindo (CD) system. The hypothesis is that autologous fascia lata would provide equivalent anatomic and patient-reported outcomes compared with mesh while eliminating mesh-related complications.

Results: Sixty-four women underwent RSC with 19 (29.7%) receiving fascia lata graft. The overall operative time was greater in the fascia lata group with mean fascia lata harvest time of 24.8 ± 7.4 minutes. Intragroup comparisons of the fascia and mesh groups demonstrated significant improvement in pelvic measurements as well as patient-reported outcomes. Intergroup comparison demonstrated equivalent success rates at 12.1 ± 8.7 months follow-up. There was one apical failure in the fascia lata RSC group; however, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.30). Significant complications in the fascia lata harvest group included two CD-II and one CD-IIIb. In the mesh group there was one mesh erosion requiring surgical excision (CD-IIIb).

Conclusion: This is the first comparison between RSC with autologous fascia lata and mesh. Short-term anatomic outcomes were similar with autologous fascia lata use without the risk of mesh erosion. Morbidity from graft harvest site was not trivial. These results emphasize the need for a randomized controlled trial.
