Active clinical trials for "Pelvic Organ Prolapse"

This is a study performed to evaluate the role of vitamin D supplementation on the strength of levator ani muscle in menopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse

To determine the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of the effectiveness of a PFMT intervention in conjunction with vaginal pessary management versus vaginal pessary management alone for women with pelvic organ prolapse. To develop and test the methods for a main trial. The ultimate aim of a large multi-centre RCT would be to answer the question: Is conservative management of pelvic organ prolapse with an individualised PFMT intervention in conjunction with vaginal pessary more effective than vaginal pessary alone in reducing prolapse-specific symptoms, prolapse severity and the need for further prolapse treatment?

To evaluate the clinical outcome and urodynamic effect of two novel vaginal tailored mesh surgeries.

The primary aim of this double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to test the hypothesis that the addition of a standardized technique of interpositional synthetic polypropylene mesh placement improves the one-year outcome of vaginal reconstructive surgery for anterior prolapse compared to traditional vaginal reconstructive surgery without mesh.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a common problem. A lot of women have surgery for prolapse. The recurrence rate op pelvic organ prolapse after surgical treatment is high. Placement of a mesh aims at reducing the recurrence rate, but mesh implants can cause complications. This study is designed to determine the effectiveness of one type of mesh (tensionfree vaginal mesh; Prolift), compared with the standard prolapse surgery. A secondary objective is to track the complications of both procedures.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of undertaking a multi-centre randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness of a pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) intervention for women with pelvic organ prolapse.

Pelvic organ prolapse is characterized by a lack of pelvic floor support causing the pelvic organs and vaginal walls to protrude. For decades, suture repair techniques have been the primary choice of surgical treatment when indicated. The notion of reinforcing pelvic floor defects using biomaterial implants is not an exclusively contemporary idea. Traditional surgical techniques are frequently associated with unsatisfying anatomical recurrence rates and over the years sporadic attempts have been made to introduce novel surgical techniques using a variety of biomaterials as support with varying success. It is plausible that inherently weak, or damaged, pelvic floor supportive tissues need to be reinforced by a permanent support to avoid the high rates of recurrences commonly described using traditional techniques. However, use of biomaterials in pelvic reconstructive surgery has become widespread in just a few years despite a lack of clinical safety data, or compelling clinical evidence demonstrating that it improves outcomes compared to traditional suture techniques. It is likely that biomaterials need to be "anchored" in tissues not afflicted by the disease, in order to provide the intended pelvic floor support. This has given rise to transvaginal surgical techniques using a transobturator approach passing the mesh through the arcus tendineous fascia pelvis, or the sacrospinous ligaments through a transgluteal approach. Already commercially available implant materials are in need of patient safety documentation, both when considering the surgical techniques by which these materials are placed in the body as well as the actual materials. Complication rates and perioperative morbidity using these surgical routes in pelvic organ prolapse surgery are generally unknown. The aim of the present study was to assess the long term morbidity, and describe the complications, associated with transvaginal mesh repair of pelvic organ prolapse using the PROLIFT®-system.

This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy following vaginal hysterectomy, focusing on perioperative and early postoperative results. The impact of V-NOTES sacrocolpopexy on patients' quality of life is investigated using validated assessment tools. Additionally, operative time, complications, pain scores were assessed.

This study aims to investigate the safety, efficacy, peri and postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction of sacro-spinous ligament fixation (SSLF) for the management of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Prolapse staging for all subjects in this study will be performed according to the POP-Q staging system. Ultrasound examinations for all subjects in this study are subjected to the surgeon need and will be performed if required by qualified personnel

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.
