Active clinical trials for "Uterine Prolapse"

The aim of the study is to assess at one year the effectiveness of the vaginal patch plastron in comparison of the anterior colporraphy through a combined definition of success: anatomic and functional.

The anterior vaginal wall is the segment most commonly affected by prolapse. Traditionally, anterior vaginal wall prolapse is repaired via anterior colporrhaphy (native tissue repair), which is known to have a high recurrence rate. Several factors like the suture plication method might affect the outcome of anterior colporrhaphy. The use of single button sutures for example might be associated with the high recurrence rate because the sutures might not be able to retain adequate strength. Nonetheless, no comparative data exist so far regarding the efficacy and safety of anterior colporrhaphy when analyzing the plication method of sutures (= comparison between continuous stiches versus simple interrupted stiches). The objective of this study is to compare the of patients undergoing anterior colporrhaphy due to symptomatic POP - using either continuous stiches or simple interrupted stiches. This is a randomized, single-center, superiority trial. Anterior colporrhaphy will be performed in a traditional standardized manner in accordance with the policy of our institution. After midline incision and preparation of vesicovaginal fascia, midline plication of the fibromuscular layer is performed. Patients are randomized either to the group receiving continuous sutures or to the group with simple interrupted stitches. The primary outcome of interest is subjective symptom improvement (evaluated by German version of the pelvic floor questionnaire) assessed at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Secondary outcome variables include anatomical outcomes, condition-specific quality of life and adverse events related to anterior colporrhaphy. Due to the power calculation, an estimated and planned number of participants is 40.

The main objective of the study is to compare subjective efficacy of trans vaginal mesh and laparoscopic colposakropexy (CSP) in women with an apical prolapse. The CSP group is further divided into two sub-groups; one where the mesh fixation is only at the apical part of the vagina, and another where the fixation is also extended to the levator plane. The secondary outcomes are safety (peri- and post-surgery complications, pain, erosion), objective efficacy (simplified POP-Q), and re-operation rate. Subjective outcome also includes the assessment of sexual satisfaction. Cost-effectiveness is studied by comparing both direct costs and QALYs.

The purpose of this study is to compare two types of surgery for the treatment of uterovaginal prolapse to determine which surgery works best from a patient's perspective and has the lowest number of short-term and long-term complications.

To determine whether a pre-operative educational video has an impact on the anxiety of patients undergoing vaginal prolapse surgery

The aim of this prospective study is investigation of efficiency and safety of medical device "Magic Gyno" in accordance with the stated purpose. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls and vulva before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: gynecology examination, vaginal health index, clinical blood test, vaginal flora examination, vaginal pH. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Total up to 70 participants with pathology of pelvic organs will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups: group with genitourinary symptoms and group with vaginal relaxation symptoms, by 35 participants in each. The time intervals between tests will be the same for both groups. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser treatment compared with the condition before treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the transversus abdominis plane block (Tap block) is different than the oral postoperative pain medications in controlling pain after robotic sacrocolpopexy.

Participants who undergo laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP) plus posterior repair (PR) will demonstrate greater improvement bowel symptom scores compared to participants who undergo LSCP alone at 3 months postoperatively.

Transvaginal or transabdominal surgeries are current choices of uterus-preserving surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse. Laparoscopic lateral uterine suspension, a modified surgical approach of uterine suspension from bilateral abdominal wall fascia, performed with expected safety and simplicity of surgery besides advantages including small wound incision and fast recovery in laparoscopic surgeries. This trial aim to discuss the therapeutic efficacy, long term safety, and adverse events of laparoscopic lateral uterine suspension and compare with the conventional transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation with native tissue repair.

The aim of study is characteristic of changes in the vaginal wall after treatment of neodymium laser radiation with a wavelength of 1064 nm. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: vaginal health index, perineometry, measurement of the vaginal wall thickness by ultrasound, Doppler sonography of the vaginal walls vessels, optical coherence tomography, biopsy, cytological and immunocytochemical methods. The King's Health Questionnaire will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Total up to 100 participants with and 20 participants without postmenopausal atrophy will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into three groups: laser treatment (study group), topical hormones treatment (control group 1) and no treatment (control group 2) by 70, 30 and 20 participants in each group respectively. The time intervals between special tests and the tests themselves will be the same for all groups. Thus, a direct comparison between conventional treatment (topical hormones), laser treatment of the vaginal atrophy and normal condition without treatment will be made. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser treatment compared with the initial state of not less than thirty percent of participants, and improvement in condition on average compared with the control group.
