According to Cochrane group trials , abdominal approaches centered on sacral colpopexy is associated with lower risk of awareness of prolapse, repeat surgery for prolapse and dyspareunia than a variety of vaginal interventions. However, these trials weren't statistically significant and have focused on the effects in terms of anatomy and lacked the effect on functional outcomes, the quality of life, perioperative complications and the operative duration.~In this study, We hypothesize that prolonged operative duration will be associated with a greater risk of developing complications and so may guide us to a minimally invasive approach with better functional outcomes.
The aim of the current study is to compare abdominal sacral cervicopexy with vaginal sacrospinous cervicopexy in women with apical prolapse in terms of operative time, procedures safety and efficacy.
