A Prospective and Comparative Study of the Performance of Tension Free Vaginal Mesh (Prolift) Versus Conventional Vaginal Prolapse Surgery in Recurrent Prolapse
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Tensionfree vaginal mesh kit (Prolift) and classic vaginal prolapse surgery (fascia plication) for Pelvic Organ Prolapse. Completed, enrolled 194 participants across 13 sites.
Detailed Summary
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common problem. A lot of women have surgery for prolapse. The recurrence rate op pelvic organ prolapse after surgical treatment is high. Placement of a mesh aims at reducing the recurrence rate, but mesh implants can cause complications. This study is designed to determine the effectiveness of one type of mesh (tensionfree vaginal mesh; Prolift), compared with the standard prolapse surgery. A secondary objective is to track the complications of both procedures.
