Active clinical trials for "Prolapse"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of endoluminal rectal prolapse repair under sedation and local anesthesia using CO2 colonoscopy to fix the rectum with sutures to the abdominal wall under needlescopic control. Further, investigators will evaluate the short and long-term clinical outcomes after this novel approach to treating rectal prolapse.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether preoperative IV Acetaminophen reduces postoperative pain and narcotic consumption in women undergoing surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse.

Pain and discomfort after anterior cervical spine surgery is difficult to quantify and quoted as moderate in severity, often needing oral opioid analgesics. In addition, these patients are more prone for postoperative respiratory complication due to airway edema secondary to surgical retraction or wound hematoma. Opioid analgesics provide good pain control but postoperative nausea and vomiting and respiratory depression are undesirable in these patients who are at risk for postoperative wound hematoma and airway edema The use of multimodal analgesia is rapidly becoming the 'standard of care' for preventing pain after ambulatory procedures at most surgery centers throughout the world . The purpose of this study is to determine whether superficial cervical plexus block will improve the postoperative quality of recovery as measured by Quality of Recovery 40 questionnaire (QoR-40) in patients undergoing elective anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

A prospective, single arm, multi-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and performance of the SRS (Lyra Medical) vaginal mesh in POP patients

This pilot study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of an educational workshop on pelvic floor disorders and its potential impact on decisional conflict.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Harpoon Medical device. It is anticipated, that the Harpoon Medical device will provide advantages over current surgical interventions including: 1) a small minimally invasive incision, 2) no sternotomy, 3) no cardiopulmonary bypass, 4) no aortic manipulation, 5) a direct path to the valve plane, 6) performed on a beating heart, 7) real-time TOE-guided chordal length adjustment and 8) less complicated procedure that is teachable and adoptable.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been shown to improve postoperative outcomes in a variety of surgical conditions. However, data regarding its role in urogynecologic surgery is limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of the ERAS protocol on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing urogynecologic surgery.

This study aims to compare between abdominal pectopexy and abdominal sacral hysteropexy in terms of efficacy (assessed by POP-Q system), intra and postoperative complications.

This study compared the effects of mechanical and manual traction on pain, disability and lumbar spinal curvature in patients with discogenic low back pain

Objective: This prospective randomized trial evaluated outcomes of colposacropexy performed either by open or by conventional laparoscopic approach as therapy for uterovaginal prolapse. Surgical techniques, efficacy and overall results are compared. Methods: In this prospective study 40 consecutive patients with uro-genital prolapse are randomized to sacropexy: 20 by an open approach, 20 by a conventional laparoscopy approach. Anchorage is achieved in both groups by two polypropylene meshes. Check-ups were scheduled at 3, 6, 12 months and then yearly. Pre-operative patient characteristics, operative and post-operative events and follow-up results are recorded.
