The presacral space re-visited. correlation between presacral depth and body mass index (BMI)

Sacrocolpopexy has been thought to be the most durable operation for advanced pelvic organ prolapse. The surgical technique involves dissection of the presacral space (PSS) to the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) for mesh fixation. Increased depth of the presacral space from adipose deposition can make this dissection more challenging and may increase risk of injury to nearby structures. There is currently a paucity of data regarding what patient factors affect the depth of the presacral space.
