Recommendation ID
IPG582/1
Question

Clinicians are encouraged to collect long-term data on clinical outcomes and patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes using validated scales. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence into infracoccygeal sacropexy using mesh to repair uterine prolapse.

Any explanatory notes
(if applicable)

Current evidence on the safety of infracoccygeal sacropexy using mesh to repair uterine prolapse shows there are serious but well recognised complications. The
evidence on efficacy is inadequate in quality. Therefore, this procedure should not be used unless there are special arrangements in place for clinical governance, consent and audit or research.
