Active clinical trials for "Pelvic Organ Prolapse"

The Women Lift Safely! Intervention study aims to increase safe carrying behavior to reduce health risks of heavy lifting in a rural area of Nepal (i.e. reducing weight and using safe lifting techniques). The study's specific aims are to: 1) Test whether a psychological intervention that promotes self-efficacy can promote women's use of safe carrying behavior effectively compared to an information only control condition. (2) Test whether including a social partner in the intervention is more effective than an individual psychological intervention.

Purpose: To assess the impact of gabapentin versus placebo on overall postoperative pain and gluteal pain at 7 days after vaginal sacrospinous ligament suspension for apical pelvic organ prolapse. Participants: English-speaking women planning to undergo a vaginal SSLF. Concurrent procedures can be performed except total vaginal hysterectomy, colpocleisis, anal sphincteroplasty, fistula surgery, or urethral diverticulectomy Procedures (methods): Patients will be randomized to receive either 2 weeks of gabapentin or placebo for 2 weeks post-operatively. Standard of care pain medications will be given to both groups. Patients will be followed for 6 weeks post-operatively.

The primary objective of this study is to further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the use of a sling device in women for stress and mixed urinary incontinence as well as vaginal vault prolapse.

The ongoing opioid epidemic has altered both how physicians prescribe narcotics and patients' perceptions of those prescriptions. Along with increased scrutiny regarding the quantity of opioids that be may prescribed after acute injury, for chronic conditions and following surgery the healthcare industry as a whole continues to search for alternative medications that provide adequate pain relief and have a reduced tendency for abuse/dependence/addition. To that end this study has the following aims: To evaluate the amount of opioids consumed following minimally invasive, female pelvic surgery when patients' postoperative pain is managed via: Acetaminophen plus Ibuprofen plus breakthrough pain opioids (Standard protocol) Acetaminophen plus Intranasal Ketorolac Tromethamine plus opioids for breakthrough pain (Sprix protocol) Patient satisfaction with the aforementioned methods Evaluate and compare pain scores via validated questionnaire Hypothesis: Primary: 1. Patients prescribed intranasal Ketorolac (Sprix protocol) will consume significantly less Morphine Milliequivalents (mEqs) of narcotics compared to the standard protocol following minimally invasive female pelvic surgery. Secondary: Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measures of pain which will be measured on a 0-10 scale where 0 denotes no pain and 10 denotes maximum experience of pain Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower numeric pain score and on POD#4 Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40 )scores on POD#1 Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher QoR-40 scores on POD#4 Patients will not have any significant difference in overall surgical satisfaction on POD#1 and POD#4 using a numerical satisfaction score Patients in the Sprix protocol will be more likely to consume no narcotics at all once discharged to home

The primary aim is to evaluate whether standard administration of Dexamethasone at the time of general anesthesia induction at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (MISC) would result in improved quality of recovery (QoR).

The primary aim of this study is to determine if normal bladder function (the ability to empty the bladder during spontaneous urination) after surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse returns faster in patients who have a retrograde voiding trial the day of surgery versus patients who have a retrograde voiding trial on postoperative day one. Half of participants will have a voiding trial 4 hours after surgery, while the other half will have the voiding trial postoperative day one.

The investigators designed a prospective study in this article to evaluate the efficacy, the life quality and the complications of two different meshes of type I (one is Perigee/Apogee, the other is named Gynecare prolift) versus traditional surgery, and also studied the influence of some surgical procedures on the prognosis.

Objectives The objective of this study is to help identify the best practice regarding the use of indwelling catheter after minimally invasive urogynecologic surgery. Investigators propose a randomized controlled trial comparing the immediate removal of indwelling urethral catheter, after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, to the present standard catheter removal on post operative day one. Evidence based catheter management will be helpful to both providers and patients in post-operative decision making. Specific Aims Aim 1: To demonstrate that immediate removal of catheter after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy results in shorter hospital stay than removal on postoperative day 1. Aim 2: To demonstrate that immediate removal of catheter after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy confers no increased risk of re-catheterization. Aim 3: To demonstrate that immediate removal of catheter after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy decreases the occurrence of urinary tract infection. Design A randomized controlled trial comparing the standard overnight indwelling urethral catheterization with removal of catheter immediately post surgery after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, at Oregon Health & Science University. Outcome measures Primary outcome measures are hospital stay in hours after completion of surgery and need for re-catheterization. Hospital stay will be counted from the time the patient leaves the operating room to the time she leaves the hospital. To avoid confounding, investigators are only including the first / morning case of the day. For re-catheterization, investigators will evaluate if patient was able to void after completion of surgery. Investigators will compare the post voiding residuals, the need for re-catheterizations and the numbers of patients going home with an indwelling catheter between the two groups. Investigators will also compare the number of urinary tract infections, as documented by urine culture and subsequent treatment, between the two groups. Study Subjects Study subjects will be women undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. Women will be invited to participate in the study during their preoperative visit. If they agree to participation, this will be noted in their chart. Randomization to group will occur immediately following surgery.

Development of a decision aid for women with urogenital prolapse followed by an intervention with use of the decision aid to investigate the effect on the perceived shared decision making in the clinical consultations. A protocol for a randomized controlled non blinded multicenter trial. A feasibility trial for the protocol.

Laparoscopic promontofixation is becoming increasingly common and is currently the standard surgical procedure for pelvic prolapse, with few complications including exposure and mesh infection. The research hypothesis is that laparoscopic promontofixation is a relatively painless procedure and can be performed on an outpatient basis without increasing the number of postoperative complications and impairing patients' quality of life. The objective of this study is to evaluate the number of rehospitalizations after management of promontofixation by laparoscopy on an outpatient basis. To evaluate the feasibility of a postoperative H8 exit after laparoscopic promontofixation. Each patient will complete a questionnaire on the experience of management, both in terms of pain management, anxiety and overall satisfaction.
