Brief summary

The cystocele is the most frequent clinical shape of the genital prolapse. It is a frequent pathology in woman which can impair quality of life and generates pelvic, urinary or sexual functional disorders. It's considered that 8 % of women will be undergo surgery in this indication before the age of 80 years. Numerous surgical techniques have been described and we distinguish the interventions according to the route (vaginal or abdominal), and according to the use or not of synthetic mesh (non-absorbable) to increase the anatomical results.

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, comparative, 2-parallel-arm study in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (cystocele) Approximately 260 patients aged from 45 to 75 years will be allocated to have laparoscopic sacropexy or vaginal mesh surgery.

Interventions

PROCEDURElaparoscopic sacropexy

under laparoscopic vision, the vesico-vaginal space is dissected until the level of the bladder neck. a synthetic non absorbable mesh is placed between the bladder and the vagina. the mesh is sutured to the vagina and the apex (vaginal apex or uterus) and anchored to the prevertebral ligament in front of the promontorium.

PROCEDUREvaginal mesh

after anterior sagittal colpotomy, the bladder is dissected under the fascia layer, and the paravesical fossa are entered. a synthetic non absorbable mesh is placed with 4 arms suspension (trans obturator or not). treatment of the apex is mandatory.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Morbidity (Dindo Classification)12 monthsCompare the morbidity of the sub-vesical synthetic mesh according to the route between laparoscopic sacropexy or vaginal in the symptomatic superior stage II cystoceles at 1 year follow-up.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Specific complications12 monthsComparison for the specific complications of sub-vesical mesh according to the route : * Symptomatic erosions, shrinkages, infections, * Serious Adverse event
Medium-term tolerance12 monthsComparison of both techniques for the medium-term tolerance: * Sexual: sexual quality of life, de novo dyspareunia; * Urinary: urinary quality of life, urinary functional signs, urgenturia, leakage * Post-operative chronic pelvic pains
Clinical Efficiency12 monthsComparison of both techniques for the medium-term (1 year follow-up)clinical efficiency: * rate of anatomical recurrences at one year, * functional Symptoms of prolapse, general quality of life
