STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of posthysterectomy laparoscopic vaginal vault excision and its long-term effects on chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, quality of life, and patient satisfaction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study (Canadian task force classification II-3) incorporating case note review and a postal questionnaire. It describes 22 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic vaginal vault excision for posthysterectomy dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain. At laparoscopy, full thickness vaginal vault was excised along with scar tissue or any cyst. The vaginal cuff was closed laparoscopically. The patients were sent a validated questionnaire to assess their pain scores, general health, quality of life, and satisfaction with the surgery. The mean interval from vaginal vault excision and to questionnaire distribution was 1.8 years. The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 15.
RESULTS: The mean age of the women was 40 years. All women had vaginal vault tenderness on examination and underwent laparoscopic vaginal vault excision. The only intraoperative complication was 1 puncture injury of the bladder, which was produced by 10-Veres needle during manipulation. A single or a combination of additional procedures was performed at the same time. The patient satisfaction questionnaires were received from 16 (72.7%) women. Of the 16 (72.7%) respondents, 13 (81.25%) confirmed improvement in dyspareunia. The mean pain scores decreased, and quality of life and general health improved significantly after vaginal vault excision (p <.05, t test).
CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic vaginal apex excision is a safe and effective management option after carefully excluding other causes of deep dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain. It also provides an opportunity to detect and surgically excise previously undiagnosed endometriosis and other disease.
