Filter by: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).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the PROLIFT system with a new lighter-weight mesh in repair of vaginal prolapse.
The stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR procedure) is an effective treatment for obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) caused by intussusception and rectocele. Recently a new technique has been developed using the new Contour® TranstarTM stapler, which was specifically designed to facilitate the STARR procedure. The investigators would like to evaluate the morbidity and quality of life.
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and symptomatic outcomes achieved with Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection (STARR) compared to biofeedback training in patients with obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS).
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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding a graft during a rectocele repair will improve the success rate of the repair.
Background: The pelvic floor muscles (PFM) are located inside the pelvis, surrounding the urethra, vagina and rectum. They provide structural support for the pelvic organs. Dysfunctional PFM can lead to urine and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), sexual problems and chronic pain syndromes. POP increases with age, parity and weakness in the PFM. Symptoms associated with POP are backache, bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction, and pelvic heaviness. Thus the condition is debilitating and can greatly affect the quality of life, interfering with day-to-day activities and reduce participation in physical activity. The aim of the project: As life expectancy increases, more women may experience POP. Hence it is important to prevent and treat the condition at an early stage. Despite being a common disorder among women, little research has been done on POP. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). PFMT is a non-invasive method with no adverse effects. If there is significant effect, the main goal is to incorporate this method in clinical practice among physiotherapists and medical doctors. If PFM training is effective, more emphasis of PFM training can be put into regular female fitness programs. The prevalence of POP increases with age. Method: This is a single blind randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effect of PFMT on POP. 100 women with POP will be randomised to either training or control group. The training programme will last for six months, training once a week with a physiotherapist in addition to a structured home training programme. A blinded case-control study will also be carried out. 50 women without POP will be matched for age and vaginal deliveries. Before starting the RCT study, a reproducibility study on perineal ultrasound will be carried out in 18 women.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine how effective and how durable STARR (stapled transanal rectal resection) surgery is in relieving symptoms of intractable constipation associated with obstructive defecation syndrome (ODS).
