Zuo2,4  \nReceived: 18 June 2025 / Accepted: 25 July 2025 / Published online: 8 September 2025 © The Author(s) 2025  \nAbstract  \nIntroduction and Hypothesis Aging may place patients at greater risk for adverse perioperative outcomes. We hypothesized that women undergoing minimally invasive (MIS) sacrocolpopexy aged ≥ 70 years are more likely to experience adverse events (AE) within 8 weeks of surgery.  \nMethods We performed a secondary analysis of a retrospective study on perioperative adverse events in women ≥ 61 years old undergoing prolapse surgery at a single academic center from January 2016 to May 2023. Only women undergoing MISsacrocolpopexy were included. The primary outcome was a composite 8-week AE outcome. Secondary outcomes included prolapse recurrence and mesh complication. Variables were compared between the groups using t-test (or Mann–Whitney U) and chi-square (or Fisher’s exact) analyses. Multivariable logistic regression was performed, controlling for variables with p \u003C 0.05 on univariate analysis.  \nResults Of the 709 women who underwent MIS sacrocolpopexy, 29.9%(n = 212) were aged ≥ 70 years. Age ≥ 70 was not significantly associated with 8-week perioperative AEs, nor was it associated with prolapse recurrence or mesh complication. The composite AE outcome was not associated with age ≥ 70 on multivariable analysis, controlling for CCI score, robotic approach, and concomitant hysterectomy (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.38–1.10]) . Women aged ≥ 70 years had a 73% lesser adjusted odds of surgical site infections on multivariable analysis (95% CI [0.08–0.93]) . Conclusions Age ≥ 70 years is not associated with perioperative AEs, prolapse recurrence, or mesh complication. These findings highlight the safety profile of this surgical approach in older women, an important consideration for urogynecologic surgeons caring for an aging population.  \nKeywords Sacrocolpopexy · Geriatrics · Aging · Adverse events  \n\n| Handling Editor: Jaromir Masata |\n| --- |\n| Presentations: This work was presented at the American Urogynecologic Society PFD Week 2024 in Washington, DC on October 24, 2024. |\n\n* Stephanie W.

As the older adult population in the United States increases, the number of women with prolapse is also expected to substantially increase [2] . Surgical management can improve the quality of life of patients with symptomatic prolapse who have either failed or declined more conservative measures like pelvic floor therapy or apessary [3] . In the United States, the lifetime risk of undergoing surgery for prolapse is 12.6%[4] . Roughly 15% of women aged 65 or greater undergo surgical management for prolapse [5] .  \nSacrocolpopexy is a procedure that involves using mesh to suspend the apex of the vagina to the anterior longitudinal ligament on the sacral promontory. Nowadays, the  \nprocedure is typically done using minimally invasive (MIS) approaches, which include conventional laparoscopic or robotic techni","cbCaiq2cjIzUMnRZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq2cjIzUMnRZ","pdf",762051,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Hypothesis and rationale\n# Methods\n## Study design and outcomes\n# Results\n## Association with 8-week adverse events\n# Conclusions","[{\"question\":\"What hypothesis did the study test about older patients?\",\"answer\":\"The study hypothesized that women aged 70 years and older undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy would be more likely to experience adverse events within 8 weeks after surgery.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the primary and secondary outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"The primary outcome was a composite adverse event outcome within 8 weeks.
