Brief Summary

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

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mesh-free sacrocolpopexy performed using the VNOTES (Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) technique in the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. Anatomical and functional outcomes will be assessed over a 6-month period before and after the operation. Evaluation tools will include the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system, and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12).

The findings of this study are expected to provide important data on the anatomical improvement, functional outcomes, and impact on sexual function of mesh-free sacrocolpopexy performed via the VNOTES approach.

Detailed Description

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

This prospective clinical study investigates the anatomical and functional outcomes of mesh-free sacrocolpopexy performed using the VNOTES (Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) technique in the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. The VNOTES approach allows transvaginal access to the pelvic cavity without the need for abdominal incisions, offering the advantages of minimally invasive surgery while avoiding the use of synthetic mesh.

The study includes women diagnosed with stage II or higher pelvic organ prolapse who are candidates for sacrocolpopexy via the VNOTES technique. All participants will undergo mesh-free sacrocolpopexy performed transvaginally using endoscopic guidance.

Anatomical and functional outcomes will be evaluated using validated tools, including the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system, the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12). Assessments will be performed preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively. Intraoperative data such as operative time, estimated blood loss, complications, and length of hospital stay will also be collected.

The primary goal of the study is to assess anatomical success based on changes in POP-Q staging. Secondary outcomes include improvements in pelvic floor symptoms, sexual function, recurrence rates, and patient satisfaction.

This study aims to provide evidence on the safety, feasibility, and functional benefits of performing sacrocolpopexy without mesh through the VNOTES approach in the management of advanced pelvic organ prolapse.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center interventional study designed to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of mesh-free sacrocolpopexy performed via the VNOTES technique in patients with pelvic organ prolapse. All participants will undergo the same surgical intervention without randomization or a comparator arm. Preoperative and postoperative evaluations will be conducted using standardized tools over a 6-month follow-up period. The study is open-label, with no masking applied.
