Filter by:The primary aim of this double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to test the hypothesis that the addition of a standardized technique of interpositional synthetic polypropylene mesh placement improves the one-year outcome of vaginal reconstructive surgery for anterior prolapse compared to traditional vaginal reconstructive surgery without mesh.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a trial of robotic assisted versus traditional laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of patients with vaginal prolapse.
The purpose of this study is to is to evaluate the success of the GYNECARE PROSIMA* system in women with symptoms for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) requiring surgical correction of POP. (*TRADEMARK)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pushing during labor that is controlled by the woman results in less birth-related injury and less postpartum urinary incontinence (UI).
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training in the management of pelvic organ prolapse in women.
The primary aim of this double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to test the hypothesis that the addition of a standardized technique of interpositional synthetic polypropylene mesh placement improves the one-year outcome of vaginal reconstructive surgery for pelvic organ prolapse compared to traditional vaginal reconstructive surgery without mesh.
Pelvic organ prolapse is common among women with a prevalence that has been estimated to be as high as 30%. Prolapse may be corrected by surgery using either a vaginal or abdominal incision. Some women develop stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after surgery. A prior randomized trial has shown that use of a Burch sling at the time of an abdominal sacrocolpopexy decreases the risk of urinary incontinence; however, the benefit of adding an anti incontinence procedure to prevent SUI at the time of prolapse surgery performed via a vaginal approach is unclear. Thus, the objective of the Outcomes following vaginal Prolapse repair and mid Urethral Sling (OPUS) trial is to determine whether prophylactic treatment with Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT)® at the time of prolapse surgery done via a vaginal approach is effective in preventing urinary incontinence.
The purpose of this study is to clinically assess the safety and performance of the EndoFast Reliant™ system as a less invasive treatment for Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
Pelvic organ prolapse is characterized by a lack of pelvic floor support causing the pelvic organs and vaginal walls to protrude. For decades, suture repair techniques have been the primary choice of surgical treatment when indicated. The notion of reinforcing pelvic floor defects using biomaterial implants is not an exclusively contemporary idea. Traditional surgical techniques are frequently associated with unsatisfying anatomical recurrence rates and over the years sporadic attempts have been made to introduce novel surgical techniques using a variety of biomaterials as support with varying success. It is plausible that inherently weak, or damaged, pelvic floor supportive tissues need to be reinforced by a permanent support to avoid the high rates of recurrences commonly described using traditional techniques. However, use of biomaterials in pelvic reconstructive surgery has become widespread in just a few years despite a lack of clinical safety data, or compelling clinical evidence demonstrating that it improves outcomes compared to traditional suture techniques. It is likely that biomaterials need to be "anchored" in tissues not afflicted by the disease, in order to provide the intended pelvic floor support. This has given rise to transvaginal surgical techniques using a transobturator approach passing the mesh through the arcus tendineous fascia pelvis, or the sacrospinous ligaments through a transgluteal approach. Already commercially available implant materials are in need of patient safety documentation, both when considering the surgical techniques by which these materials are placed in the body as well as the actual materials. Complication rates and perioperative morbidity using these surgical routes in pelvic organ prolapse surgery are generally unknown. The aim of the present study was to assess the long term morbidity, and describe the complications, associated with transvaginal mesh repair of pelvic organ prolapse using the PROLIFT®-system.
