    TITLE: TRANSVAGINAL SINGLE-PORT VERSUS MULTI-PORT LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO COMPARE THE MIDDLE TERM CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF TRANSVAGINAL SINGLE-PORT LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY WITH MULTI-PORT LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY (LSC) FOR APICAL PROLAPSE. PATIENTS (N=89) WITH ADVANCED APICAL PROLAPSE WHO UNDERWENT EITHER TS-LSC OR LSC BETWEEN (B)(6) 2017 TO (B)(6) 2019 WERE ENROLLED. THERE WERE 46 SUBJECTS IN TS-LSC GROUP (92.0%) AND 43 SUBJECTS IN LSC GROUP (89.6%) IN THE ANALYSIS. AFTER THE HYSTERECTOMY WAS DONE, THE SINGLE-PORT DEVICE WAS ESTABLISHED. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PELVIC PERITONEUM WAS OPENED, FROM SACRAL PROMONTORY TO THE VAGINAL CUFF. THEN THE Y-SHAPED MESH WAS CLIPPED ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF VAGINAL WALL. THE LONG ARM OF MESH WAS ANCHORED TO THE LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT LYING ON S1 VERTEBRAE WITH TENSION-FREE, USING ETHIBOND, NON-ABSORBABLE, SYNTHETIC AND MULTIFILAMENT SUTURES FROM ETHICON (SEEING IN FIG. 1A). THE REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED MESH EXPOSURE (N=6), DE NOVO SUI (N=1), CONSTIPATION (N=5), URINARY TRACT INFECTION (N=2), DYSPAREUNIA (N=3) AND RECURRENCE (N=4). IN CONCLUSION, TS-LSC WAS NOT INFERIOR TO LSC AT 2 YEARS. PATIENTS MAY BENEFIT FROM ITS MILD PAIN, BETTER COSMETIC EFFECT AND BETTER APICAL SUPPORT AS WELL AS GOOD SAFETY AND EFFICACY. TS-LSC IS A PROMISING CONSIDERABLE CHOICE FOR ADVANCED VAGINAL APICAL PROLAPSE.
