摘要
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine risk factors for mesh erosion, including concomitant hysterectomy,in abdominal sacral colpopexies. Study design: Weconducted a retrospective cohort study of 313 women who underwent an abdominal sacral colpopexy. Data regarding patient demographics, operative techniques, length of follow-up,postoperative complications, and mesh erosion were collected.Results: Of 313 subjects, 101 (32.3% ) had concomitant hysterectomies and 212 (67.7% ) had had previous hysterectomies.The overall rate of mesh erosion was 5.4% . In bivariate analysis,concomitant hysterectomy was not associated with erosion(6.9% vs 4.7% previous hysterectomy, P = .42); however, estrogen therapy was an effect modifier. In women on estrogen,hysterectomy (OR 4.9, CI 1.2- 19.7) and anterior imbrication(OR 5.6, CI 1.1- 28.6) were associated with mesh erosion. No risk factors were identified in women not on estrogen. Conclusion:In women on estrogen therapy, hysterectomy was associated with mesh erosion in abdominal sacral colpopexy.
