Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The practice of same-day surgery among urogynecologic surgeons is increasing worldwide, but the percentage fluctuates among nations. Our primary aim was to investigate the feasibility of same-day surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) using native tissue repair and the reasons why same-day surgery was not possible. Secondarily, we aimed to investigate the cause of hospital contact within 30 days post surgery.
METHODS: This is a case-control study including 803 women who underwent POP surgery performed by vaginal approach intended as same-day surgery during a 3-year period. No patients were excluded. Patients were divided into two groups: successful same-day surgery (SDSS) and same-day surgery failure (SDSF).
RESULTS: Same-day surgery was performed successfully in 90.7% of the cases. Postoperative complications were the main cause of SDSF (76.0%), and most were caused by voiding dysfunction (VD) (42.7%). Patients receiving surgery in the apical compartment and/or surgery involving two compartments, receiving general anesthesia or having comorbidities equivalent to ASA score 3 had a greater tendency not to be able to complete same-day surgery. Regarding telephone contact with the hospital, the SDSS group was significantly less likely to call compared to the SDSF group (11.3% versus 26.7%) (p < 0.01) and the same regarding physical attendance in the department (8.9% and 24.0%) (p < 0.01). Only five patients were re-operated within 30 days because of bleeding.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that same-day surgery for POP has high feasibility and is safe. Complications, hospitalizations and reoperations immediately after surgery and within 30 days were found to be minimal.
