Length of Stay and 30-Day Postoperative Complications Following Minimally Invasive Apical Prolapse Repair

The objective of this study was to use a nationwide database to examine the correlation between length of stay and 30-day postoperative complications following minimally invasive apical prolapse repair. Study Design This retrospective cohort study included women in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2008 to 2018 who underwent laparoscopic/robotic sacrocolpopexy or uterosacral/sacrospinous repair and were discharged on postoperative day 0 (POD0) or 1 (POD1). The primary outcome was 30-day postoperative complication rate. Results Of the 28,269 women discharged home on POD0/1, 12,663 (45%) underwent laparoscopic/robotic sacrocolpopexy, and 15,606 (55%) underwent uterosacral/sacrospinous repair. Women discharged on POD0 were less likely to be White, less likely to have diabetes or hypertension, had lower mean body mass index, and were less likely to have undergone a hysterectomy (P
