Conditions

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Brief summary

This randomized controlled study is designed to test absorbable suture compared to non absorbable suture in laparoscopic sacral colpopexy in terms of anatomical correction of the prolapse, post-operative and long term morbidity, rate of recurrence, subjective satisfaction of the patient and rate of mesh erosion.

Interventions

laparoscopic sacral colpopexy to correct pelvic organ prolapse with anterior and posterior meshes with absorbable suture

PROCEDURElaparoscopic sacral colpopexy with non absorbable suture
