Ringel NE, Brown O, Moore KJ, et al. - From a national outcomes-based database, female patients who underwent prolapse repair and/or sling procedures across racial/ethnic groups were compared with respect to their 30-day complication rates. The trends were evaluated over time.

• Data concerning a total of 70,540 prolapse repairs and 23,968 sling procedures between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2018 were retrieved.

• Postoperative complications after prolapse repair procedures, particularly vascular complications, were more frequently recorded among Black women.

• For all racial/ethnic groups except Black women, there appeared a decrease in vascular complication rates after prolapse repair over time.

• After prolapse repair and slings, vascular complications were recorded more frequently among Hispanic women relative to other racial/ethnic groups.
