Filter by:This is a prospective trial to investigate optimal timing of care for vaginal pessaries. A vaginal pessary is a silicone device that is placed in the vagina to support the pelvic organs of a woman who has pelvic organ prolapse. Some women are willing and able to remove their own pessary on a regular basis. In women who are either unwilling or unable to remove their own pessary, complete pessary care is provided in the urogynecology office. Complete pessary care involves regular removal and cleaning of the pessary with a vaginal examination. In our practice, the investigators typically remove vaginal pessaries and examine the vagina every 3 months in patients for whom the investigators provide complete pessary care. Interval of pessary removal varies widely between practitioners. In the literature, removal intervals vary from weekly to yearly. In this study, the investigators will randomize participants to pessary care with removal every 12 weeks or every 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the Colpassist vaginal positioning device during robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, recurrence, postoperative complications of partially absorbable mesh(Seratom®PA) in patients with pelvic organ prolapse.
The investigators aim is to augment the current process for surgical consent for patients undergoing urogynecological procedures by incorporating visual media. We propose that visual media will be an effective and efficient addition to the standard of care in urogynecological consents and will improve patient understanding and satisfaction. Our randomized controlled trial will investigate the effect of standardizing the consent for three urogynecologic procedures (vaginal hysterectomy, robotic sacrocolpopexy, and sub-urethral sling) using visual media, on patients' understanding of, and satisfaction with, their procedure. Our primary outcome will be patient's knowledge score at the end of the pre-operative clinic visit, and secondary outcomes include patients' satisfaction, subjective understanding of their procedure, immediate pre-operative and post-operative knowledge, and number of post-operative encounters. Participants will be followed up to their post-operative clinic visit.
The clinical study includes investigation of the outcomes of surgery for biomechanical restoration of pelvic floor conditions, monitoring pelvic floor conditions under conservative treatment/management, identification and investigation changes of pelvic floor muscle contractions and their significance in characterization of pelvic floor conditions, assessment of tactile imaging reproducibility, including pelvic floor muscle contraction.
The study is carried out at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the patient population consists of women referred with symptomatic and bothersome post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse at least 1 cm above or beyond the hymeneal remnants. The interventions are either vaginal sacrospinousfixation or laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy following randomization to one of the types of surgery. The primary outcome is anatomical failure based on clinical assessment. Failure is defined clinically, according to the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system, as Ba, C or Bp at the hymen or below on maximum Valsalva maneuver one and two years after the surgery. Secondary outcomes are evaluation of continence, sexual function and prolapse symptoms based on validated questionnaires 1, 2, 5 and 10 years after the surgery.
The main purpose of the feasibility study is to identify the patient experience of Femmeze® which is a device aimed at improving posterior vaginal compartment prolapse (rectocele) for women with obstructive defaecation. The investigators want to investigate implementation and preliminary effectiveness of the device. The method of investigation will be a pre-post intervention design, which involves asking 30 women to use Femmeze® over a period of 8 weeks. This is an academic study on a labelled indication (http://www.nres.nhs.uk/search/?q=medical+devices).
Primary Aim: The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare vaginal mesh and suture exposure rates in women undergoing robotic total hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy with a light-weight polypropylene mesh (Upsylon™ y-mesh) using permanent (polytetrafluoroethylene, Gore-Tex) versus delayed absorbable monofilament (2-0 polydioxanone, PDS) sutures through 1-year. Secondary Aims: 1. To compare the 1-year composite success rate (leading edge of prolapse is at or above the hymen and apex has descended less than 1/3 of the vaginal length, no subjective feeling of bulge; and no retreatment for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or vaginal mesh exposure) of permanent versus delayed absorbable sutures for mesh graft attachment during robotic total hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy. 2. To evaluate adverse outcomes in each group
Compare operative times and complications of sacral colpopexy and paravaginal repair between two-dimensional and three-dimensional laparoscopic systems.
The purpose of the study is to determine the clinical cure rates of pelvic organ prolapse from subjects that had a robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy using Alyte Y mesh and Restorelle Y smartmesh lightweight mesh.
