AIMS: To compare postoperative vaginal axis (VA) following vaginal sacrospinous fixation (VSF) or abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at postoperative period, in a randomized sample. METHODS: Seventy-one patients randomized to VSF with an anterior mesh or ASC were recruited with a mean 27-month follow-up for pelvic MRI; 40 patients underwent the examination. VA was calculated in relation to the pelvic inclination correction line. All patients were submitted to physical examination according to the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system, subjective impression questionnaires and quality of life (QoL) questionnaires (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire, ICIQ). Objective failure was defined as points Ba, Bp, or C > 0. Subjective cure was defined as questions 5a and 6a from the ICIQ-VS questionnaire equal to zero. RESULTS: VA exhibited two portions (inferior and medium). Mean medium axis was equally more obtuse in VSF (85.9° ± 9.9°; P < 0.001) and ASC (87.1° ± 14.7°; P < 0.001) groups, with no difference between them. Mean inferior axis was more acute for both groups (VSF, 72.5° ± 19.1°, P < 0.001; ASC, 75.7° ± 15.5°, P < 0.001). All women had normal medium axes and 47.5% had inferior axis values above the 95th or below the fifth percentile, without differences regarding type of surgery performed. Women with abnormal vs normal VA did not present any difference regarding pre or postoperative physical examination, demographic characteristics, objective or subjective cure, patient satisfaction, QoL scores, or sexuality. CONCLUSIONS: Both VSF and ASC deviate the physiological VA, both in its medium and inferior portions, where values fall outside normality percentiles. However, this alteration was not associated with worse objective, subjective, QoL, or sexual outcomes.
