The specific aim of this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial is to determine if extended release nitrofurantoin antibiotic prophylaxis decreases the incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) compared with placebo for patients undergoing short term indwelling or clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) for acute postoperative urinary retention following pelvic organ prolapse and/or urinary incontinence surgery. Consented patients who undergo urogenital surgery and fail their post-operative voiding trial will be randomized to either extended release nitrofurantoin 100mg or an identical appearing placebo capsule to be taken daily while performing CISC or while indwelling catheter is in place. The primary outcome will be symptomatic and culture confirmed UTI within six weeks of surgery. Secondary outcomes include adverse events associated with nitrofurantoin use, and incidence of nitrofurantoin-resistant isolates from urine culture of symptomatic women. Primary and secondary outcomes will be evaluated with Student t test and chi squared or Fisher exact test as appropriate. Assuming a decrease in symptomatic UTIs attributable to nitrofurantoin prophylaxis from 33% to 13%, with 80% power, and a two-sided alpha of 0.05, and a 10% dropout rate, we should recruit a total of 154 patients.
The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and effectivity of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. In this multi center study the population consists of POP operations done in Finland year 2015.The study is prospective and validated questionnaires are used to measure the symptoms of POP and the quality of life before and six months after the operation. Methods and complications of surgery are reported by doctors in all 40 participant hospitals.
This study seeks to gain a more thorough understanding of the postoperative location of the sutures placed during uterosacral ligament suspension. Characterization of the surrounding anatomy in a living model will enhance surgical technique by delineating safer suture locations and decrease the incidence of morbid complications for patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of anterior pelvic prolapse reconstruction with a titanized polypropylene mesh on patients quality of life.
This is a single center, prospective trial of pessary use prior to reconstructive pelvic floor surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. The goal of the study is to evaluate the change in pelvic floor symptoms with pessary use and subsequent reconstructive surgery. Additionally, we will assess the impact that preoperative pessary use has on patient self-reported preparedness for surgery.
The study is a multi-center, randomized, surgical trial of women with symptomatic post-hysterectomy apical (cuff) prolapse desiring surgical treatment. This study will compare the three available surgical treatments performed in usual practice. The purpose of this study is to compare two commonly performed mesh apical repair (sacral colpopexy vs. Apical Transvaginal Mesh) and vaginal native tissue apical repairs with mesh reinforced repairs. The primary outcome is measured over time (up to 60 months) using a survival analysis approach. The investigators hypothesize that treatment failure will not differ between vaginally and abdominally placed mesh for vault vaginal prolapse, and mesh repairs (regardless of route of implantation) will be superior to native tissue apical suspension.
Investigators separated 20 patients with uterovaginal prolapse into 2 groups according to random numbers table. In one group, conventional abdominal sacral hysteropexy will be perform and another group bilateral abdominal sacral hysteropexy will be perform with polypropylene mesh. After 1 mont operation vaginal configuration will be evaluate with MRI on three plane (axial, sagittal, coronal). Then the results of thus two groups will be compare to results of nullipara patients. Investigators will investigate which technique keep the vaginal axis is closer to the original anatomic position.
The aim of the present positive-control study is to analyze and compare the rate of off-table subclinical neurological events in two groups of patients submitted to carotid artery stenting (CAS) with two different kind of stents, a close-cell stent, and the new mesh-covered stent, so to verify if the new model of stent is effective in preventing postprocedural carotid plaque embolism.
Prolapse of the vaginal wall and uterus are common conditions affecting up to 50% of parous women. The socioeconomic, psychological and physical impacts of prolapse are considerable. 11% of women will undergo a surgical repair by the age of 80 years. The commonest compartment affected is the anterior vaginal wall. Unfortunately there is a significant rate of recurrent prolapse or a failure of the primary procedure. This has lead to the introduction of new techniques and the use of different materials to augment the repair. Mesh augmented repairs aim to reduce the rate of recurrent prolapse. However, the use of synthetic mesh is associated with complications which are not found in non mesh repairs. 10% of women will have a mesh complication of which 70% will require a further surgical procedure to manage the complication. There are extra costs associated with purchasing the mesh, with longer operating times to insert the mesh and managing complications caused by the mesh. Balancing the extra risks of mesh surgery against the benefits is probably one of the most contentious issues in urogynaecology at the present time. Regulatory authorities in the USA (FDA) and UK (MHRA) have become increasingly interested in the use of mesh to support the vaginal wall in prolapse surgery due to risks and complications being reported. To date there is little evidence regarding the long term safety and efficacy of anterior mesh repairs. This study aims to rectify this deficiency for Perigee.
