Active clinical trials for "Prolapse"

Fibrin glue is widely used in ophthalmology for homeostasis and tissue recovery. It is commonly used in ocular surface surgeries such as pterygium removal and conjunctival lesions excisions. In Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR), sutures are used to reconnect the conjunctiva and Muller muscle, which causes discomfort and pain for the patient. The investigators' goal is to explore using fibrin glue instead of sutures in MMCR surgeries to shorten the procedure's length and alleviate patients discomfort and pain. This is especially important in the management of children suffering ptosis, where sedation and even general anaesthesia is required for sutured removal as a secondary procedure.

This prospective nation-wide (France) study aims to search for susceptibility genes in MVP using a genome wide analysis and comparing results obtained in 1000 patients with MVP and 1000 non-MVP subjects.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a problem experienced by women where a bulge comes down in the vagina, and may even drop down outside the vagina. The bulge in the vagina is caused by other organs moving down from their normal position in the pelvis and pushing into the vagina. This is a very common problem and many women who have given birth will have a very mild bulge which does not cause them symptoms. Women can however experience a variety of pelvic, bladder, bowel and sexual symptoms which impact on daily life. No research studies have properly examined whether or not exercises can prevent prolapse. This study aims to explore whether exercises taught by a physiotherapist can prevent women developing a prolapse which requires them to have treatment.

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles holding pelvic organs (e.g., the uterus or bladder) weaken and the organs fall or slide down into the vagina. Pelvic organ prolapse can be corrected with surgery. However, women who have this surgery may develop urinary incontinence. This study will determine how doctors can predict this problem and whether an additional surgical procedure at the time of prolapse surgery can prevent the development of urinary incontinence.

Female patients with POP will be evaluated for vaginal elasticity using vaginal tactile imaging both before and after surgery for the repair of the POP. Surgical repair will be performed by a single surgeon who will perform either a laparoscopic or vaginal repair.

Involutional ptosis is a known eyelid pathology in which the eyelid margin obscures part of the visual axis (MRD1).Patients usually complains of visual field disturbance, deterioration in quality of life and a poor cosmetic appearance. In clinical practice, two main surgical approaches are performed to the repair of involutional ptosis: anterior approach - skin incision and levator muscle insertion advancement. posterior approach - eyelid reversion and tarsectomy Both approaches has its pro's and con's, but to this date, no solid evidence exists to prove which of these techniques is superior in manner of anatomical and functional results. in this prospective study, patients with involutional ptosis will be randomized to each of surgical approaches groups, parameters concerning surgical and post surgical periods will be evaluated.

Aim of this work is to compare results between Laparoscopic Anterior Mesh Rectopexy and Laparoscopic Posterior Mesh Rectopexy for patients with rectal prolapse by assessment of operative time, intraoperative blood loss , intraoperative organ injury, overall length of hospital stay, recurrence,and improvement of incontinence and constipation.

objective: aimed to compare laparoscopic/robot-assisted hysteropexy with vaginal hysterectomy for uterine prolapse prospective randomized clinical trial patient 60yrs or more women and POP-Q stage II with symptom or POP-Q III, IV regardless of symptom number of patient: 146 randomize: laparoscopic/robot-assisted hysteropexy vs. hysterectomy follow up: postoperative 1 year primary endpoint: recurrence rate recurrence of uterovaginal prolapse POP-Q stage II-IV recurrence of associated symptom secondary endpoint postoperative 1 year QOL, degree of satisfaction evaluation operative time, estimated blood loss hospitalization period, postoperative pain, return to normal activity

During surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, it is common for the surgeon to inject fluid into the vaginal tissues to help with tissue dissection. It is common that anesthetic medication is mixed into this fluid to help with pain control after surgery. Usually the pain medication injected is short-acting. In this study the investigators plan to compare the usual short-acting injected pain medication with a long-acting injected pain medication to evaluate whether this improves pain control after surgery. One type surgical procedure for prolapse will be evaluated. The procedure is sacrospinous ligament fixation. This is suspension of the vagina to treat pelvic organ prolapse. Study participants will be randomized to one of two study groups: Lidocaine group (short-acting medication). Liposomal bupivacaine group (long-acting medication) Information will be collected on study participants, including: demographics, procedure data, and post-operative information. The primary outcome of this study is determine if use of long-acting injected local anesthesia at the time of sacrospinous ligament fixation leads to less post-operative pain compared to short-acting local anesthesia. Secondary outcomes include: post-operative opioid medication use return to baseline pain status post-operative time to first bowel movement post-operative antiemetic use (nausea medication) results of voiding trial after surgery patient satisfaction with pain control

Pelvic organ prolapse is a common problem. It affects about half of women and causes uncomfortable bulge sensations (similar to sitting on a ball), urine and stool problems, difficulty with sexual activity and embarrassment. Almost one of every five women undergoes surgery to treat prolapse.Typically, vaginal surgery is done while patients are asleep and local anesthetic- freezing medication- is injected where incisions are made to minimize the pain from surgery when waking up. Pudendal blocks are nerve blocks where local anesthetic is used to freeze a nerve that supplies sensation to the vulva and vaginal area. It is traditionally used to help with pain for women giving birth, but hasn't been studied well in women undergoing vaginal surgery for prolapse. The investigators believe that by using a small amount of freezing to provide a pudendal block at the time of surgery, on top of the freezing typically provided, that there will be minimized pain after surgery and improve the recovery process. Based on previous studies using pudendal blocks for different vulvar and vaginal procedures, the investigators believe this to be a safe and potentially beneficial practice. The investigators are planning to conduct a randomized controlled trial of 50 women. 25 will receive pudendal nerve blocks at the time of surgery, and 25 will receive placebo injections.The investigators will monitor their pain scores, satisfaction, use of pain medications and return to activities in order to determine if our intervention has caused a significant improvement in recovery.
