Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare 30-day complication rates associated with promontofixation for pelvic organ prolapse performed via a robot-assisted laparoscopic technique versus a non-robot-assisted laparoscopic technique. Secondary objectives include comparing technical data, anatomical correction, prolapse recurrence, incontinence, quality of life and medico-economic data between the two techniques. The patient diary did not allow the collection of sufficiently precise data to meet the secondary medico-economic objective of the study. Access to data from the National Health Data System (SDNS), which was not available at the time of the initial drafting of this protocol, now makes it possible to obtain a complete picture of patients' health care consumption. We propose, therefore, to extract data from the SNIIRAM via the SNDS (matching of patients' NIR to their health care consumption) in order to retrieve and accurately estimate the cost of follow-up.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
presence/absence of complications (composite score)30 daysThe occurrence (in the per-operative phase or within 30 days post-op) of at least one of the following: 1) bleeding complications: hemoperitoneum, blood loss\> = 500 ml, transfusion; 2) infectious complications: wound infection, abscess, discitis, mesh infection; 3) any wound caused by a surgeon movement: bladder, digestive, ureteral, or vascular injuries; (4) medical complications: deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pneumopathy; 5) trocart sites: infection, hernia; 6) conversion to a laparoscopic or open surgical technique not related to pre-existing adhesions; 7) reintervention; 8) neurological complications: neurological disorders, complications of the central neurological system, sciatica; 9) others: complete urinary retention, lower urinary tract infection, extrusion, erosion of the mesh, hospitalization in intensive care; 10) death.
