Interpretation
Implementation of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) and same day discharge after LSC are increasingly discussed in the literature15. A recent survey reported that management of packs and catheters was a barrier for implementing day-case POP surgery in 92 % of UK practitioners 16. Restriction of the use of vaginal packing after pelvic organ prolapse surgery was recommended as a part of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways17, 18. Our data show that inserting vaginal packing after LSC did not induce pain or dissatisfaction in our patients. However, its effect on the outcome of laparoscopic pelvic floor reconstruction remains to be determined.
