Cystocele repair by transobturator four arms mesh: monocentric experience of first 123 patients

Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

The aims of the study were to evaluate the per- and post-operative complications and outcomes after cystocele repair with transobturator mesh.

Methods

A retrospective continuous series study was conducted over a period of 3 years. Clinical evaluation was up to 1 year with additional telephonic interview performed after 34 months on average. When stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was associated with the cystocele, it was treated with the same mesh.

Results

One hundred twenty-three patients were treated for cystocele. Per-operative complications occurred in six patients. After 1 year, erosion rate was 6.5%, and only three cystoceles recurred. After treatment of SUI with the same mesh, 87.7% restored continence. Overall patient’s satisfaction rate was 93.5%.

Conclusions

Treatment of cystocele using transobturator four arms mesh appears to reduce the risk of recurrence at 1 year, along with high rate of patient’s satisfaction. The transobturator path of the prosthesis arms seems devoid of serious per- and post-operative risks and allows restoring continence when SUI is present.
