Martino\u201d of Messina, Italy, and \u201cL. Vanvitelli\u201d of Napoli, Italy, between November 2020 and February 2022. Group A consisted of patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy followed by LCSS or LCSP without cystopexy. At the same time, Group B included patients who had the same procedures with the addition of cystopexy. Data on complications were collected using the Clavien-Dindo classification, and prolapse recurrence was monitored according to the POP-Q system. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact, Chi-squared, and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 148 patients were included, with 125 in Group A and 23 in Group B.
