    Author: Cho MK, Moon JH, Kim CH.
    Journal: Int J Surg; 2017 Aug; 44():274-277. PubMed ID: 28689865.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with recurrence after colpocleisis for pelvic organ prolapse in elderly women. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent colpocleisis for stage 3 or 4 pelvic organ prolapse at a single tertiary center from January 2007 to December 2015. RESULTS: A total of 107 patients who underwent colpocleisis were reviewed. Duration from prolapse occurrence to surgery was significantly longer (24.6 ± 22.8 years vs 8.0 ± 12.9 years, p = 0.021) in patients who had recurrence after colpocleisis than in those without recurrence. CONCLUSION: Duration of prolapse was longer in patients with recurrence than in those who had a successful outcome.
