Brief summary

To estimate the safety and efficacy of performing modified anterior transvaginal mesh surgery using polypropylene mesh for treatment of advanced urogenital prolapse after hysterectomy (stage III and IV vc Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification \[POP-Q\] system staging).

Detailed description

Pelvic reconstructive procedures were primarily performed using the transvaginal four arm polypropylene mesh, which was inserted through: upper arms- anterior part of obturator foramens, lower arms-ischiorectal fossas and sacrospinal ligaments. All patients underwent hysterectomy in the past apart from one which underwent vaginal hysterectomy during the procedure. Perineoplasty was performed additionally, if indicated. Subjective and objective evaluations included Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification \[POP-Q\] staging, preoperative and 1-year postoperative questionnaires were performed.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POPQ) 1 year after procedure1 yearassessment of POPQ 1 year after mesh operation, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system (POP-Q) refers to an objective, site-specific system for describing, quantifying, and staging pelvic support in women. It provides a standardized tool for documenting, comparing, and communicating clinical findings with proven interobserver and intraobserver reliability
