Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigator aimed to compare various pelvic floor repairs in female aged from 70 to 80 years old, to see which procedure in terms of treatment-related complications of SCP, VMR and NTR by comparing the operative and functional outcomes in this patient population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a global health care issue that could have a significant impact on pelvic floor function and quality of life (QOL), while seldom having the potential to be life-threatening. Prevalence of POP increases with age. In women older than 80, 11% undergo a surgical procedure. The incidence of degenerative diseases and multiple co-morbidities increases with age, and advanced age is also associated with an increase in morbidity generally for gynecologic procedures. Furthermore, greater comorbidity beforehand can predispose patients to postoperative complications such as bleeding, hematoma, pain, infectious. As a result hospital stays are longer and the surgical results are compromised.

Surgical techniques should optimize functional results and minimize complications. In POP surgery, younger women are good candidates for sacrocolpopexy (SCP), because of the improved long term functional result, while women older than 80 may have a satisfactory outcome with fewer complication with a vaginal repair with mesh (VMR) or native tissue (NTR). The increasing prevalence of POP, and the increasing population of women aged 70-80 requires an evaluation of the appropriate surgical management since women in this age group may be candidates for all types of surgical repair.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

Sacrocolpopexy (SCP)

SCP

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Sacrocolpopexy (SCP) aims to secure the anterior vaginal wall, the uterus more or less the posterior vaginal wall using polypropylene prostheses and to secure them to the presacral ligament to restore the patient's anatomical features and improve pelvic symptoms

Group 2

Native tissue repair surgery (NTR)

NTR

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Native tissue repair surgery (NTR) consist of site-specific surgical repair of the existing defect (anterior and/or posterior) using non-absorbable sutures. Specifically, anterior and/or posterior colporrhaphy for cystocele and rectocele respectively after adequate hydrodissection of the vesicovaginal or rectovaginal space.

Group 3

Vaginal mesh repair surgery (VMR)

VMR

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Vaginal mesh repair surgery (VMR) is performed using a single-incision mesh system. A single vertical incision is made in the anterior and/or posterior vaginal wall. A full-thickness dissection is performed laterally and apically to the ischial spine.
