Active clinical trials for "Pelvic Organ Prolapse"

Compare operative times and complications of sacral colpopexy and paravaginal repair between two-dimensional and three-dimensional laparoscopic systems.

This randomized controlled study is designed to test absorbable suture compared to non absorbable suture in laparoscopic sacral colpopexy in terms of anatomical correction of the prolapse, post-operative and long term morbidity, rate of recurrence, subjective satisfaction of the patient and rate of mesh erosion.

The purpose of this Study is to collect information about the performance of the Surgisis® Soft Tissue Graft ("Study Product") for the repair of pelvic organ prolapse in women.

The cystocele is the most frequent clinical shape of the genital prolapse. It is a frequent pathology in woman which can impair quality of life and generates pelvic, urinary or sexual functional disorders. It's considered that 8 % of women will be undergo surgery in this indication before the age of 80 years. Numerous surgical techniques have been described and we distinguish the interventions according to the route (vaginal or abdominal), and according to the use or not of synthetic mesh (non-absorbable) to increase the anatomical results.

The objective of this study is to evaluate surgical treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse using the sis graft or traditional repair. This a randomized and prospective study. Clinical patterns that will be evaluated: anatomic results of surgery; impact of surgery in quality of life using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Questionnaire (P-QoL), sexual function with FSFI and possible complications.

Prolapse occurs when pelvic organs drop down and cause a bulging of the tissues. An "anterior wall prolapse" occurs when the front of the vagina loses its support, and the bladder drops down and rotates into the vaginal opening. The bladder can cause a bulge out of the vagina. One of the treatment options available is to repair the anterior wall surgically. The goals of surgery are to return the anatomy to its usual position, ensuring that all the pelvic floor organs (bladder, vagina and rectum) can function properly. The ideal surgical repair would also be long lasting. Two surgical options are routinely performed in Calgary for repair of an anterior compartment prolapse. One option involves fixing the organs back in place using sutures. The other option uses sutures plus a mesh made of small intestine submucosa (SIS) that is already licensed for use in Canada. The SIS mesh is slowly absorbed after it is placed in the pelvic area. The investigators do not know which of these two options is the best surgical procedure. Both may have different advantages that would result in better results. This study is designed to try and find out if one of these procedures is better, and if a larger study may be needed.

This is a placebo controlled randomized controlled trial of perioperative use of tamsulosin to prevent postoperative urinary retention in female pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) is a commonly performed, vaginal surgery for the correction of female pelvic organ prolapse. The original description of this procedure included the use of permanent sutures. However, permanent suture use in this vaginal application can result in some minor complication such as persistent vaginal spotting, vaginal discharge and dyspareunia. Subsequent reports on this procedure have utilized delayed-absorbable sutures in order to avoid these complications. Retrospective studies are conflicting as to whether or not absorbable suture provides as durable an anatomic outcome as permanent suture. There are currently no high-quality, prospective studies that have evaluated outcomes of permanent and absorbable suture for uterosacral ligament suspension. This study will recruit women scheduled to undergo USLS with or without other prolapse or anti-incontinence procedures. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to permanent or absorbable suture. Follow up will occur at 6 weeks and 12 months post-operatively. The primary outcome will be Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification Exam (POP-Q) point C as measured at the 12 month follow up visit. Subjects and assessors will be blinded.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether performing a perineorrhaphy during a reconstructive surgery indicated for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects a patient's body image.

This study will include women who will undergo pelvic reconstructive surgery and/or anti-incontinence sling procedures. Patients will be randomized to the combination of L-methionine, Hibiscus Sabdariffa and Boswellia Leaf Extract in tablet or placebo twice a day during the seven days before and after surgery (total of 14 days). In this randomized, double-blind study, the investigators will assess treatment of clinically suspected or culture-proven urinary tract infections within 3 weeks of surgery (primary outcome), and risk factors for treatment for postoperative urinary tract infections (secondary outcomes) between the two study groups.
