Active clinical trials for "Pelvic Organ Prolapse"

The aim of our study is to investigate the alterations in connective tissue of vaginal wall in patients with and without pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

The lifetime risk for a woman to undergo surgery for either vaginal prolapse or urinary incontinence is high. Previous studies have shown that pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for developing prolapse. There is a lack of studies that follow women several years after delivery aiming to find whether symptoms of prolapse are linked to delivery method, ie vacuum, forceps, normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section. The investigators plan this study is to get more knowledge about pathology of prolapse and incontinence, to enable development of preventive strategies for these conditions. Aim of the study is to determine whether the prevalence of symptoms and performed surgery for urogenital prolapse differs among women delivered by vacuum, forceps, normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section 15-20 years after their first delivery. The investigators identify women that delivered their first child at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim, Norway between 1990-1997. Questionnaires will be sent to 2500 women (PFIQ-7, PFDI-20, PISQ-12), 600 of whom will get a clinical examination, where pelvic floor musculature is examined by palpation and 4D ultrasound, and a POP-Q quantification of prolapse performed.

The purpose of the study is to determine the clinical cure rates of pelvic organ prolapse from subjects that had a robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy using Alyte Y mesh and Restorelle Y smartmesh lightweight mesh.

The objective is to explore the genetic predisposition to early pelvic organ prolapse after adequate surgical repair by exploring the association between pelvic organ prolapse recurrences and certain polymorphisms.

The primary objective of this study is the psychometric validation of two questionnaires (PISQ-R and a new questionnaire on sexuality) as compared to a non specific questionnaire on female sexual function (FSFI).

This is an observational, exploratory study designed to collect (record) and analyze normal and abnormal sound data from the human bladder during surgery using a novel sensor-based catheter system (Electronic Catheter Stethoscope) and to develop algorithms to detect changes of baseline bladder and ureteral function. The Electronic Catheter Stethoscope device will measure acoustic and pressure data within the bladder. The measurements will be used to detect any leakage from the bladder and/or changes in baseline ureteral flow by correlation of sound data with surgical data reported by the surgeon. These data will be used to develop algorithms to detect changes of baseline bladder and ureteral function. The algorithms will be tested in future clinical trials.

The purpose of initiating the Urology Database is to evaluate the outcomes of urology procedures and medical management to enhance the care and treatment of urology patients.

This is a prospective cross-sectional study to describe patients' perceptions and experience regarding same day discharge following pelvic reconstructive surgery including total vaginal hysterectomy, in order to improve future patient counseling and expectations.

SSLF is typically a suture-based attachment of the vaginal apex to the sacrospinous ligament, either unilaterally or bilaterally. It is usually accomplished with specially designed equipment in English-language scientific literature. However, these instruments either reusable or disposable are relatively expensive and difficult in accessibility, and are not yet widely applied around China. Typical Asian smaller pelvis offers us an optional repair procedure with conventional surgical instruments instead of special instrument.

This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to assess the rate of failure of voiding trials in the early and late post-operative period within patients who underwent outpatient pelvic floor surgery that failed initial same day voiding trials.
