Filter by:This prospective study aims to assess the efficacy of the OviTex 1S permanent mesh in pelvic floor surgery in comparison with the current standard polypropylene mesh.
Several pelvic prolapses can render defecation difficulties and they are often treated with different surgical techniques. This study will evaluate a novel variation of a laparoscopic technique used to treat rectal prolapse that is modified to treat multiple pelvic prolapses. 25 women with symptoms of obstructed defecation and multiple pelvic prolapses are assessed before and after surgery with clinical examination, defecography and a questionnaire for bowel function and quality of life. Follow up was scheduled after three and twelve months and at long term (minimum ten years).
The study aims to determine if defecation posture, when using a defecation posture modification device (DPMD), will improve ease of bowel movements in patients with pelvic organ prolapse, specifically rectoceles.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the benefit of using gamma-irradiated amniotic membrane as a graft in surgical repair for women with posterior vaginal wall defects. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is posterior colporrhaphy using gamma-irradiated amniotic membrane as a graft effective? Participants will undergo posterior colporrhaphy, which will be modified by adding gamma-irradiated amniotic membrane as a graft during the repair.
The goal of this multicenter observational study is to collect data prospectively of patients with pelvic organ prolapse undergoing ventral mesh rectopexy (as well as rectoceles, entero-/sigmoidoceles/ intussusception/ rectal prolapse or combined) by laparoscopy or robotic surgery and to evaluate the longterm functional outcomes. Secondly complications (mesh erosions, recurrence, reoperations) are evaluated. Following main questions will be analysed - other can follow in consultation with the collaborative 1. Is VMR the technique of choice for treatment of rectoceles? Functional results - recurrence - mesh related complications 2. Has a perineal descent an impact on the functional outcome of ventral mesh rectopexy perfored for external rectal prolaps, internal rectal prolaps, rectocele, enterocele, sigmoidcele or combined pelvic organ prolapse?
The ideal surgical strategy for treating complex rectocele remains a topic for debate, with the transanal, transperineal, and transvaginal approach and the abdominal approach being at conflict with one another. While the transvaginal repair is more popular among gynecologists, the trans abdominal approach has become increasingly common among colorectal surgeons, in part due to the rising demand for minimally invasive surgery.
Rectal static disorders, including the rectocele, represent a frequent functional pathology which affects the quality of life of affected patients. Among vaginal treatments, the STARR technique corresponds to rectal resection by transanal approach using a stapler. The American Gastroenterology Association (AGA) has concluded that service to patients is insufficient. The technical and functional results published are mostly short-term studies. The investigators seek to assess the technical and functional results of Operation STARR, based on a series of consecutive expert center cases, to confirm or refute the conclusions of the AGA recommendations.
The objective of the study will be to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome of patients with obstructed defecation sndrome (ODS) associated to internal rectal prolapse, treated with transanal prolassectomy (STARR) surgery compared to those treated with laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR).
The aim is to compare proximate and remote results of 3D and conventional 2D laparoscopic interventions in terms of efficacy and safety in treatment of symptomatic rectocele and rectal prolapse. This is a prospective randomized comparative study in parallel groups conducted in single Colorectal unit. Inclusion criteria: female patients with stage 3 rectocele (3-4 POP-Q [pelvic organ prolapse quantification] grade) and/or full-thickness rectal prolapse. Intervention - laparoscopic ventral rectopexy. The primary outcome is objective cure rate of pelvic prolapse. Secondary outcomes include obstructive defecation and incontinence symptoms according to Wexner and Cleveland Clinic scales, and satisfaction according to Patient Global Impression of Improvement questionnaire. Operative times, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, postop pain severity, urinary incontinence, as well as surgical and mesh complications are also assessed. The specific point of interest in this study is surgeon's tiredness after the operation assessed with Profile of Mood States questionnaire.
The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare barbed suture versus non-barbed suture at the time of posterior repair on postoperative pain scores as measured by a visual analog scale (VAS) at 6 weeks. Study participants are randomized to use of barbed suture (2-0 V-Loc 90TM, Medtronic) or non-barbed suture (2-0 Polydioxanone, PDS® EthiconTM) in a standardized technique for posterior colporrhaphy at the time of posterior repair.
