Aim: To assess the impact on the sexuality of the couple of pelvic organ prolapse repair with coelioscopic sacrocolopoxy. Consecutive patients undergoing coelioscopic sacrocolpopexy and their partner were invited to participate.
Women attended a pre-surgical visit and a 6-month post-surgery visit where pelvic organ prolapse status was clinically assessed. Results: From May to December , 25 couples were assessed.
After surgery, Two cases of decrease of sexual intercourses frequency were reported and appeared partner-related.
There was an overall non-significant improvement in sexual quality of life in men and women. General pelvic organ distress, urinary incontinence and specific pelvic organ prolapse distresses were significantly improved after surgery. Conclusion: Coelioscopic sacrocolpopexy does not impair couple's sexuality, assessed as sexual intercourses frequency and could even improve it.
Partner's assessment can bring important information with respect to the interpretation of functional sexual results of surgery. Abstract Aim: To assess the impact on the sexuality of the couple of pelvic organ prolapse repair with coelioscopic sacrocolopoxy.
