Correlation of CT derived biomarkers of presacral adiposity with body mass index

Sacrocolpopexy (SC) is often cited as the gold standard for pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Dissection of the presacral space is inherently difficult as this space contains many vulnerable structures including the common iliac vessels, the presacral vessels, and the hypogastric nerve. Inaccessability of the sacral promontory has been associated with conversion to open sacrocolpopexy. It is not known if BMI or other biometrics are associated with sacral accessibility.
