Brief summary
This study is a 1 year review of all patients who had surgery to correct pelvic organ prolapse (i.e. cystocele, rectocele, enterocele) using the Avaulta synthetic mesh kit.
Detailed description
This is a retrospective cohort analysis of all patients who experienced vaginal prolapse and were operated on with the Avaulta synthetic vaginal mesh kit from January 2006 to April 2007. The Avaulta synthetic mesh is composed of polypropylene which is a monofilament. The objective of this trial is to compare patients objectively and subjectively at least one year after placement of the Avaulta synthetic vaginal mesh in terms of prolapse symptoms. This data will be compared to pre-operative data already collected for these patients as a part of their routine surgical work-up. Mesh-related complications will be quantified, including erosions, new-onset pain, and infections. Success and anatomic recurrence rates will be recorded as well
