Polypropylene Mesh in Prolapse Surgery
Pelvic Organ ProlapseThe purpose of this study was to report the long-term objective and subjective outcome after prolapse surgery with polypropylene mesh. The complications and the effect of the learning curve of the surgeons to the outcome is also reported.

Pelvic Organ ProlapseTo determine if the injection of liposomal bupivacaine to laparoscopic port sites and rectocele repair incisions at the completion of a robotic sacrocolpopexy with concomitant rectocele repair will result in decreased postoperative pain compared to injection of placebo.
Effect of a Risk Calculator on Patient Satisfaction With the Decision for Midurethral Sling During...
Pelvic Organ ProlapseStress Urinary Incontinence1 morePelvic organ prolapse occurs with descent of one or more pelvic structures: the uterus and/or cervix, bowel, bladder, or rectum. Although options for treatment include expectant management, pelvic floor physical therapy, and pessary (intravaginal device) use, surgery is the only option which potentially offers a cure. It is well known that women with pelvic organ prolapse are at risk of developing new stress urinary incontinence symptoms after prolapse surgery. Stress urinary incontinence is defined as involuntary loss of urine with an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, such as sneezing, coughing, or laughing. Previous studies have demonstrated that the addition of a prophylactic anti-incontinence procedure at the time of prolapse surgery reduces this risk. One example of such a procedure is a mesh sling placed underneath the urethra (midurethral sling). Nevertheless, the decision to place a midurethral sling to prevent stress urinary incontinence after prolapse surgery remains controversial. A new risk calculator tool has been developed to provide patients' with their individualized risk of developing de novo stress urinary incontinence after prolapse surgery. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether use of this new personalized online risk calculator tool increases patient satisfaction with the decision whether or not to have a midurethral sling placed at the time of prolapse surgery to prevent development of stress urinary incontinence. The investigators hypothesize that use of this tool will increase patient satisfaction with their decision regarding midurethral sling placement.
Prophylactic Modified McCall Culdoplasty During Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Vaginal Vault ProlapseSexual FunctionThe purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of performing prophylactic McCall culdoplasty at the time of total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The investigators will also be measuring pelvic support (using POP-Q) and sexual function before and at different time points (up to 12 months) postoperatively. The investigators hypothesize that women undergoing the McCall culdoplasty will not have different immediate surgical outcomes (operative time, etc) and may have better pelvic support and sexual function in the future.
Calistar A vs. Calistar S - Comparative Cohort Retrospective Analysis of Single Incision POP Systems...
Pelvic Organ ProlapseThe main objective of this study is to compare the initial outcomes and complication of two meshes implanted through a single incision to treat anterior and apical prolapses, Calistar A and a second-generation low weight mesh called Calistar S (Soft).
Smartmesh Technology in Pelvic Floor Repair Procedures
Pelvic Organ ProlapsePelvic organ prolapse repair involves conservative treatments and surgical treatments. Conservative treatments are for patients with moderate prolapse. Treatment of symptomatic prolapse remains essentially surgical. According to detailed medical history and a thorough physical exam, surgical techniques may be performed by high abdominal, low vaginal or mixed routes with or without the use of a reinforcing implant. Restorelle Direct Fix is indicated for transvaginal anterior and posterior surgical repair either as mechanical support or as reinforcement of pelvic floor defects. Advantages and disadvantages of vaginal prostheses are known but only limited data have been reported on the use of Restorelle® in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. This study is designed to collect data on the safety and efficacy of Restorelle® Direct Fix in pelvic organ prolapse repair.
Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction After Colpocleisis for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic Organ ProlapseThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term success rate of the colpocleisis procedure and its effect on quality of life in women who have this surgery. We want to see if women who have this surgery have problems with recurrent pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, or bowel problems after the surgery. We also want to see how the surgery affects women's sexuality.
Pelvic Floor Repair Systems for Prolapse Repair
Pelvic Organ ProlapseThis is a prospective, multi-center, post market study, which will be conducted under a common protocol. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate long-term efficacy of the AMS Pelvic Floor Repair System devices for prolapse repair. The study population is female subjects > 21 years of age who require surgical reconstruction of their pelvic floor due to prolapse. The clinical data will be analyzed by comparing post-treatment data with the baseline data, with the subject acting as her own control. The follow-up is for two years after the procedure. Prolapse improvement measured by ICS POP-Q Stage at 12-months will be the primary endpoint of the study. The secondary endpoints include quality of life changes from baseline and adverse event rates.

CystocelePelvic Organ Prolapse1 moreThe objective of the study is to retrospectively collect the data on patients who underwent pelvic organ prolapse treatment using a non-ablative Er:YAG laser with SMOOTH mode and to conduct an objective evaluation of safety and efficacy of Er:YAG laser treatment. In a group of patients that have concomitant stress urinary incontinence symptoms, the effectiveness of the treatments on these symptoms will be evaluated as well.
