Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the outcomes of the surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse using two different mesh grafts, namely the anterior Prolift(TM) and the Perigee(TM) systems. Women with genital prolapse who underwent surgery using one of these mesh systems were recruited in the study and the anatomical outcomes as well as subjective success, patients' satisfaction and complication rates were prospectively evaluated.
Interventions
Anterior vaginal repair using the anterior Prolift(TM) system (Ethicon Women’s Health and Urology, Somerville, NJ) and concminant procedures for the apical and posterior compartments and for stress urinary incontinence as required. The anterior Prolift system is a transvaginal surgical kit designed for the treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse. It consists of a synthetic mesh graft with four arms. The graft is placed between the bladder and the anterior vaginal wall without tension and the arms retrieved through the Obturator foramen using special trocars. This surgical procedure is a 'one off' procedure.
