Surgery

Transvaginal suture capturing mesh device

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Transvaginal suture capturing mesh device

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The Uphold™ LITE vaginal support system is an intra-vaginal approach to apical and anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair that utilizes a suture capturing device to place the mesh. After primary dissection the suturing device is used to pull the mesh through the sacrospinous ligament, medial to the ischial spine. An anterior colporraphy was allowed following the Uphold™ LITE procedure at the discretion of the surgeon if deemed necessary.
