1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (SCP) has emerged as the gold standard procedure for pelvic organ prolapse. However, it entails a deep surgical dissection, essential for proper mesh positioning, and is not devoid of intraoperative and postoperative complications, including sporadic cases of potentially life-threatening intraoperative bleeding or postoperative haematomashaematomas. The appropriate management of bleeding complications in this area varies depending on the individual case and presence of hemodynamic instability, from emergency open surgery to a conservative wait-and-see approach. Objectives: To illustrate an effective method for the management of bleeding complications of SCP and raise awareness about this unusual complication. Participant: A 69-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic revision surgery due to evidence of a voluminous presacral haematoma on the second postoperative day after SCP. Intervention: The effectiveness of minimally invasive revision surgery for the management of voluminous presacral haematoma following laparoscopic SCP was assessed. Laparoscopic revision surgery allowed for the complete drainage of the haematoma without complications, resulting in discharge on postoperativeday seven. Conclusions: The video reviews the steps of the laparoscopic approach for performing a successful and safe revision surgery to manage presacral haematomas after SCP, and illustrates the procedure's adaptability, also providing specific tips and tricks to successfully perform this procedure without the need for mesh removal, thereby preserving the best outcome for the patient. What is New?: This is the first description of the surgical management of a retroperitoneal hematoma following colposacropexy. The study's conclusions provide a valuable resource for gynecologists facing patients presenting with a retroperitoneal presacral hematoma after prosthetic surgery for prolapse.
