Abstract
Aim of this study was to perform comparative analysis of perioperative complications and short‐term outcomes in abdominal laparoscopic versus vaginal vault prolapse surgeries. A total of 35 female patients were selected through convenient sampling, all of whom were diagnosed with symptomatic stage 2 or greater apical prolapse according to the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP‐Q) system and subsequently underwent reconstructive surgery. The duration of hospital stay was also significantly longer for patients who underwent vaginal vault prolapse surgery (5.28±1.23 days) compared to those who had abdominal laparoscopic surgery (3.59±0.51 days), with a p‐value of <0.0001. At the 6‐month follow‐up, the vaginal vault prolapse group reported complications, such as dyspareunia, blood transfusion, urinary tract infections, postvoid urinary retention and stress urinary incontinence, compared to the abdominal laparoscopic group, where 76.5% of patients had no complications. The study highlights the differences in perioperative complications and short‐term outcomes between abdominal laparoscopic and vaginal vault prolapse surgeries. While both approaches have their merits, the choice of surgery should be individualized, taking into account the patient's overall health, prolapse severity and specific anatomical considerations.
