Filter by:Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a major health concern, affecting more than 30% of women. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of Uphold system and Perigee system in treating women with cystocele.
The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for recurrence depending on complex combinations of plausible risk factors, in particular mesh, mesh fixation, hernia size and hernia type. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).
Vaginal prolapse is a common condition that is treated with surgical correction. Recently surgeons have been using mesh to augment the repair of vaginal prolapse. Common complications of this surgery include vaginal pain, pain during sex, infection or erosion of the mesh in the vagina. There are different ways to close the vaginal wall over the mesh used in these procedures. Currently, there is no accepted standard method of closing the vaginal wall. The purpose of this study is to find out the best way to close the surgical wound in the vagina. We will compare interrupted closure (separate stitches) to continuous closure (one long, running stitch). We hope to show in our study that one method of closure is better than the other.
