Conditions

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to compare the initial outcomes and complication of two meshes implanted through a single incision to treat anterior and apical prolapses, Calistar A and a second-generation low weight mesh called Calistar S (Soft).

Detailed description

The main objective of this study is to compare the initial outcomes and complication of two meshes implanted through a single incision to treat anterior and apical prolapses, Calistar A and a second-generation low weight mesh called Calistar S (Soft). In such sense, objective and subjective parameters will be retrospectively tested to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of this products. Safety will be assessed by register of complications and effectiveness will be evaluated by pelvic floor reconstruction and quality of life improvements.

Inclusion criteria

* Female * Anterior and apical prolapse Stage 3 (according to POP-Q) or more with or without stress urinary incontinence (SUI) * Primary or recurrent treatment with Calistar S or Calistar A * At least 6 months follow-up

Exclusion criteria

* Recurrent vaginal infections, * Chronic colorectal diseases (chronic nonspecific ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, diverticulosis, Chron's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, familial polyposis). * Presence of any coagulopathies, * Impairment of the immune system or any condition that compromises recovery, * Prior irradiation * Chronic pelvic pain

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Cured Participants According to Barber CriteriaPost-operative at 6 monthsAccording to Barber criteria cure is defined if there are no points beyond the hymen (measure by POP-Q quantification), an absence of vaginal bulge symptoms and no re-treatment/interventions on year post procedure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Cured According to Objective Measure (POP-Q Quantification)Pre-operative and post-operative at 6 monthsAssessment of POP with POP-Q quantification. Number of participants cured according to POP-Q quantification. Success criteria: POP-Q stage equal 0 or 1.
Quality of Life Status: Patient Global Impression QuestionnairePost-operative at 6 monthsPatient satisfaction with the experience and the result of procedure will be evaluated with the Patient Global Impression questionnaire. This is a visual analogue scale range 1 (very much worse) - 5 (very much improved). A higher score a better outcome.
Adverse EventsIntra-operative and post-operative at 6 monthsRegister of adverse events. Clavien-Dindo classification

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of Life: PFDI 20Post-operative at 6 monthsQuality of life assessed with Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI 20) questionnaire to evaluate the impact of urinary, prolapse and colorectal distress post-operative. The sum of the scores of these 3 scales serves as the overall summary score of the PFDI-20 and ranges from 0 (least distress) to 100 (greatest distress).
Quality of Life: PISQ-12Post-operative at 6 monthsQuality of life assessed with Pelvic Organ Prolapse/ Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) to evaluate sexual function in women with pelvic organ prolapse and/or urinary incontinence post-operative. Higher PISQ-12 scores indicate a better sexual function. Maximum score is 48.
