Forty consecutive women with main uterine prolapse stage II or greater defined by the POP quantification(POP-Q) staging system were referred for LONG procedures at our hospitals. Clinical evaluations before and 6 months after surgery included pelvic examination, urodynamic study, and a personal interview to evaluate urinary and sexual symptoms with overactive bladder symptom score(OABSS), the short forms of Urogenital Distress Inventory(UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire(IIQ-7), and the Female Sexual Function Index(FSFI). After follow-up time of 12 to 30 months, anatomical cure rate was 85%(34\/40), and the success rates for apical, anterior, and posterior vaginal prolapse were 95%(38\/40), 85%(34\/40), and 97.5%(39\/40), respectively. Six recurrences of anterior vaginal wall all suffered from significant cystocele (stage3; Ba&gt;+1) preoperatively. The average operative time was 73.1\u2009\u00b1\u200930.8\u2009minutes. One bladder injury occurred and was recognized during surgery. The dyspareunia domain and total FSFI scores of the twelve sexually-active premenopausal women improved postoperatively in a significant manner (P\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The results of our study suggest that LONG suspension is an effective and safe uterus-sparing surgery for the treatment of apical prolapse.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-23285-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,14]],"date-time":"2018-03-14T11:04:25Z","timestamp":1521025465000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Laparoscopic Organopexy with Non-mesh Genital (LONG) Suspension: A Novel Uterine Preservation Procedure for the Treatment of Apical Prolapse"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Cheng-Yu","family":"Long","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chiu-Lin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chin-Ru","family":"Ker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yung-Shun","family":"Juan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eing-Mei","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0856-6423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kun-Ling","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"23285_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"CD004014","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD004014","volume":"30","author":"C Maher","year":"2013","unstructured":"Maher, C., Feiner, B., Baessler, K. & Schmid, C.
