Objective: The goal of this research was to investigate the feasibility, safety, and short-term clinical outcome of pure extraperitoneal sacrocolpopexy with transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES) for treating central pelvic defects.
Material and methods: A total of 9 patients with central pelvic prolapse underwent extraperitoneal sacrocolpopexy with V-NOTES, at the Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital, Chengdu, Sichuan, China, between December 2020 and June 2022. The patients' demographic characteristics, perioperative parameters, and clinical outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. Each patient had the following major surgical procedures: (1) Establishing a platform for an extraperitoneal approach with V-NOTES; (2) separating the extraperitoneal path to the sacral promontory region; (3) suturing the long arm of the mesh to the anterior longitudinal ligament S1; and (4) suturing and fixating the short arm of the mesh at the top of the vagina.
Results: The median patient age was 55, the median operative time was 145 minutes, and the median intraoperative blood loss was 150 mL. The operations were successful for all 9 cases, with a median preoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification score of C: +4, and a 3-months postoperative score of C: -6. There were no recurrences during a follow-up of 3-11 months, and no complications occurred, such as mesh erosion, exposure, and infection.
Conclusion: As a new surgical approach, extraperitoneal sacrocolpopexy with V-NOTES is safe and feasible. (J GYNECOL SURG 39:108).

Objective: This study quantified the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on same-day discharges for minimally invasive hysterectomy and evaluated the effect on postoperative morbidity and health care use.Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study, from March 2018 to October 2021 at a single institution, included women older than age 18 who had laparoscopic, vaginal, or robotic-assisted hysterectomy by any gynecologic surgeon. Primary outcome was rate of same-day hospital discharge. Secondary measures were length of stay and rates of 30-day postoperative morbidity and health care use. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate associations between patients' characteristics and likelihood of same-day discharge.Results: There were 1608 women included, 896 in a prepandemic cohort and 712 in a postpandemic cohort. Surgeon subspecialty rates were similar between groups, but surgical approaches differed, with more laparoscopic procedures in the postpandemic cohort (p = 0.007). Case order and lengths, and concurrent procedures were not different between groups. Postpandemic patients were more likely to be discharged on the same day even after controlling for confounders in a multivariable regression (32% versus 54%, respectively;odds ratio: 2.78;p < 0.001). Rates of 30-day postoperative complications, transfusions, emergency department visits, readmissions, reoperations, and mortality were not significantly different.Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with increased same-day discharges without increases in 30-day postoperative complications. The data confirmed that same-day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy was safe for managing hospital constraints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. (J GYNECOL SURG 20XX:000)

Objective: The effects of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics on delay of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were studied. The primary outcome was interval between first MIGS appointment and date of surgery. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study used electronic medical record data of a historical cohort who had benign MIGS in 2014-2016 (n = 370) and a cohort in 2020 during the COVID pandemic (n = 249). Included procedures were laparoscopic hysterectomy, myomectomy, adnexal surgery, or endometriosis excision. Patient demographics (race, ethnicity, age, marital status, language, insurance, and socioeconomic factors) were evaluated for associations with surgery delay (> 90 days from initial consultation to operating room date). Results: Median time to surgery was 21 days faster during the pandemic. In the historical cohort, 61% patients waited >90 days, and in the pandemic cohort, 47% patients waited >90 days. In the pandemic cohort, race and primary language were new factors associated with surgery delays. During the pandemic, a greater proportion of patients having surgery delays were Black or other races, compared to White, and a greater proportion did not speak English. After adjusting for referral indications, in multivariable logistic regression, patients who reported Other race had 3 times the odds of surgery delay, compared to White patients. Black patients had higher odds of surgery delay, although this estimate was less precise. Patients with a non-English primary language had >4 times the odds of surgery delay. Ethnicity, insurance and employment status, median household income, neighborhood segregation, and distance to hospital were not associated with surgery delay. Telemedicine accounted for 71% of visits in the pandemic cohort and was associated with a significant decrease in surgery delays with a median wait time of 87 days for patients seen via telemedicine, compared to 101 days for patients seen in-person. A higher proportion of patients using telemedicine were White and spoke English. Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, non-English primary language, and unemployment were associated with in-person versus telemedicine visits. Visit type was not correlated with insurance status, median household income, neighborhood segregation, and distance from the hospital. A risk score was calculated to summarize the estimated effect of intersectionality of multiple identities;multiple minority characteristics were correlated with surgery delays. Time to benign MIGS decreased from historical baselines during the pandemic, indicating improved access to surgical care. This benefit did not apply equally. Disproportionately, White patients who spoke English had no delays and used telemedicine;racial minority patients who did not speak English had greater odds of surgery delays and in-person appointments. Conclusions: Telemedicine can improve access to both MIGS care and surgical out
