Abstract

Objective: This study was undertaken to compare LSC using the double meshes and AP-TVM for efficacy and safety.
Method: We evaluated operative time, blood loss, postoperative CRP data, and complications, and compared them between LSC and AP-TVM.
Results: Compared to the AP-TVM group, the LSC group was characterized by small amount of blood loss (135.6±190.8ml vs. 54.8±59.2ml, p<0.05), and a longer operating time (154.6±38.8 minutes vs. 188.6±23.9 minutes, p<0.05), respectively. Surgical stress and complications rates were similar between LSC and AP-TVM (ns). No serious complications were noted.
Conclusion: Although LSC requires longer operating time. POP repair by LSC using the double meshes seems to be safe and has valid outcomes.
