Clinical observation of 2 patients and a literature review of pregnancy outcome after uterine-sparing apical suspension for pelvic organ prolapse

Objective: To observe pregnancy postoperatively and long-term follow-up after uterine-sparing apical suspension for pelvic organ prolapsed (POP).Study design: We report 2 patients who delivered newborns after uterine-sparing apical suspension for pelvic organ prolapse at our center and a literature review on this topic.Results: The patients' ages were 26 and 32 years at their respective times of surgery. The follow-up times were 7 and 8 years. These patients became pregnant at 52 and 46 months after surgery, and delivered by cesarean section at term. There was no re-prolapse at follow-ups of 15 and 10 months postpartum. The results were consistent with those reported in the literature.Conclusion: Patients with POP who have reproductive requirements can benefit from surgical treatment, and this benefit is maintained after cesarean section.Synopsis: Observation of 2 patients who delivered newborns after uterine-sparing apical suspension for pelvic organ prolapsed at our center and a literature review.
