Active clinical trials for "Cystocele"

Surgical correction of the prolapse in the anterior compartment remains one of the major challenges in urogynecology. Paravaginal defect in level II of vaginal fixation results in the majority of cystoceles. Clinically, these defects are often combined and/or may be bilateral. Hence, careful assessment and individualized planning of the surgical procedure is essential to optimize cystocele repair outcome. Several surgical techniques and approaches have been used for cystocele repair. After the ban on transvaginal meshes, the interest in native tissue repair has risen. Paravaginal defect repair is an effective surgery for paravaginal defect reconstruction. There is a current trend to utilize transvaginal surgery instead of more invasive transabdominal surgery. A novel method of transvaginal paravaginal defect repair - TOCR (transobturator cystocele repair) was suggested. The principle objective of the present trial is to compare its efficacy and safety to preexisting method of native tissue cystocele repair.

The anterior vaginal wall is the segment most commonly affected by prolapse. Traditionally, anterior vaginal wall prolapse is repaired via anterior colporrhaphy (native tissue repair), which is known to have a high recurrence rate. Several factors like the suture plication method might affect the outcome of anterior colporrhaphy. The use of single button sutures for example might be associated with the high recurrence rate because the sutures might not be able to retain adequate strength. Nonetheless, no comparative data exist so far regarding the efficacy and safety of anterior colporrhaphy when analyzing the plication method of sutures (= comparison between continuous stiches versus simple interrupted stiches). The objective of this study is to compare the of patients undergoing anterior colporrhaphy due to symptomatic POP - using either continuous stiches or simple interrupted stiches. This is a randomized, single-center, superiority trial. Anterior colporrhaphy will be performed in a traditional standardized manner in accordance with the policy of our institution. After midline incision and preparation of vesicovaginal fascia, midline plication of the fibromuscular layer is performed. Patients are randomized either to the group receiving continuous sutures or to the group with simple interrupted stitches. The primary outcome of interest is subjective symptom improvement (evaluated by German version of the pelvic floor questionnaire) assessed at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Secondary outcome variables include anatomical outcomes, condition-specific quality of life and adverse events related to anterior colporrhaphy. Due to the power calculation, an estimated and planned number of participants is 40.

Sacrospinous ligament suspension (SSLS) was first described in 1958. It is commonly performed for correction of apical prolapse. A combination of delayed absorbable and/or permanent sutures are commonly used for the procedure. When permanent sutures are used, risk of suture-related complications is present and patients may require suture removal. In available literature, there is limited data comparing the efficacy and suture-related complications when using different types of sutures. A previous randomized controlled trial demonstrated that using an absorbable suture is equally efficacious as delayed absorbable sutures in SSLS. However, there is no comparison to absorbable versus permanent suture. Our aim is to compare the absorbable suture versus permanent suture for treating pelvic organ prolapse and to compare suture-related complications. Our primary outcome is comparing POPQ point C at 12 month follow up for absorbable vs permanent suture. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to absorbable or permanent suture. Follow up will occur at 2-4 weeks, 12 weeks and 12 months after the surgery.

Anterior colporrhaphy is the commonly performed surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. However the success rates of native tissue repair techniques for anterior vaginal prolapse range from %30-%70. According to a systematic review of the anterior colporrhaphy technique, there was no ideal procedure or guideline for gynecologists to perform. The investigators tried to compare pubocervical fascia suturing techniques with the ideal procedure type by determining step by step all parts of the surgery including the anesthesia type. The aim of the study will be to compare the pubocervical fascia reconstruction techniques in the management of anterior compartment defects (POP-Q >2) at 1 year and yearly up to 2 years.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of R-SCP versus HUSLS for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.

The incidence of anterior pelvic defect in women is estimated about 10% and it may be often associated to urinary stress incontinence. To date the correction of anterior defects with the use of graft material inserted with transobturator approach has become of large use. Moreover, given the frequent association of urinary stress incontinence to anterior defect, in most of cases it becomes necessary to perform at the same time an anti-incontinence procedure, i.e. a sub-urethral sling positioning. Based on these considerations the aim of this trial will be to compare two different approach for sub-urethral sling positioning, transobturator and transvaginal tape (TOT and TVT) performed in association to transobturator correction of anterior defect with mesh in terms of efficacy and safety.

To perform a clinical safety and efficacy assessment of the Uphold LITE system for pelvic organ prolapse in a prospective multicenter, single cohort study.

this study designed To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of laparoscopic approach for repair of paravaginal defects associated with anterior vaginal wall prolapse.

The goal of this interventional study is to compare the effect of Concurrent cystocele repair and trans obturator tape (TOT) and TOT alone in a sample of Iraqi Female participants with diagnosed stress urinary incontinence and cystocele. The main questions to answer are: 1-What are the effects of the tested Interventions on the outcomes measured by The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) System? What are the effects of the tested Interventions on the degree of pelvic organ prolapse? What are the effects of the tested Interventions on the frequency, severity, and effect of Stress urinary incontinence on the quality of life of the patients? What are the effects of the tested Interventions on the impact of lower urinary tract symptoms on the quality of the patient's life? Female Patients diagnosed with SUI indicated for intervention were divided into 2 groups Group I: (n=49) offered TOT alone Group II: (n=49) offered concurrent TOT and Cystocele Repair Patients were then followed up and evaluated using The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) System, The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and the King Health Questionnaire (KHQ). The efficacy of both procedures and their impact on SUI and quality of life was measured.

Urinary incontinence is a prevalent health and quality of life concern affecting almost half of women over the age of 20. Urinary retention (abnormal holding of urine) is a concern of many surgeons who perform midurethral sling surgery. All patients after outpatient midurethral sling or vaginal prolpase surgery must complete a voiding trial if they are to be discharged without a catheter. The purpose of this study is to compare two different types of postoperative voiding trials to determine which leads to less post-operative issues, such as urinary retention requiring catheterization. You are being asked to participate because you are having midurethral sling surgery, either with or without vaginal prolapse repair.
