Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to is to evaluate the success of the GYNECARE PROSIMA\* system in women with symptoms for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) requiring surgical correction of POP. (\*TRADEMARK)

Detailed description

The GYNECARE PROSIMA\* system provides a simplified mesh repair, avoiding the need for dissection outside the pelvic cavity.

Inclusion criteria

* Candidates with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse of ICS POP-Q Stage II or III, suitable for surgical repair. Vaginal hysterectomy, perineal repair and/or mid urethral sling procedures for incontinence may be performed concurrently. * Age ≥ 18 years. * Agrees to participate in the study, including completion of all study-related procedures, evaluations and questionnaires, and documents this agreement by signing the Ethics Committee / IRB approved informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

* Additional surgical intervention concurrent to the PROSIMA procedure (e.g. sacrocolpopexy, paravaginal repair, tubal sterilisation). * Previous repair of pelvic organ prolapse involving insertion of mesh. * Previous hysterectomy within 6 months of scheduled surgery. * Experimental drug or experimental medical device within 3 months prior to the planned procedure. * Active genital, urinary or systemic infection at the time of the surgical procedure. Surgery may be delayed in such subjects until the infection is cleared. * Coagulation disorder or on therapeutic anticoagulant therapy at the time of surgery. * History of chemotherapy or pelvic radiation therapy. * Systemic disease known to affect bladder or bowel function (e.g. Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, spinal cord injury or trauma). * Current evaluation or treatment for chronic pelvic pain (e.g. interstitial cystitis, endometriosis, coccydynia, vulvodynia). * Nursing or pregnant or intends future pregnancy. * In the investigator's opinion, any medical condition or psychiatric illness that could potentially be life threatening or affect their ability to complete the study visits according to this protocol.
