Operationalizing Postdischarge Recovery From Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy for the Preoperative Consultative Visit.
2020
OBJECTIVE The objective was to establish a threshold for postdischarge surgical recovery from laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for the preoperative consultative visit to answer the "what is my recovery time?" QUESTION METHODS Study participants (N = 171) with stage 2 or worse pelvic organ prolapse undergoing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy who completed postoperative surveys at 4 time points. Postdischarge Surgical Recovery 13 (PSR13) scores were anchored to a Global Surgical Recovery (GSR) tool (if 100% recovery is back to your usual health, what percentage of recovery are you now?). Weighted mean PSR13 scores were calculated as a sum of the products variable when patients considered themselves 80 to less than 85, 85 to less than 90, 90 to less than 95, or 95 to 100 percent recovered on the GSR tool. The percentage of study participants recovered at postdischarge day 7, 14, 42, and 90 was calculated based on a comparison between the GSR scores and weighted mean PSR13 scores. RESULTS A PSR13 score of 80 or greater, corresponding to 85% or greater recovery, was seen in 55.6% (42 days) and 50.9% (90 days) of study participants, respectively, establishing this numeric threshold as representing "significant" postdischarge recovery after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. At 14 days after discharge, only 16.4% of the study population achieved this PSR13 score. CONCLUSIONS Most study subjects were "significantly" recovered at 42 days after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy using a PSR13 score of 80 or greater as a numeric threshold. There is a need to determine the population percentage of recovered study subjects at 30, 60, and beyond 90 days from laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
