Pelvic Organ Prolapse Clinical Trials

The objective of this retrospective and prospective, single-arm, observational, multicenter, post-market study is to evaluate outcomes in women who underwent surgery for vaginal or uterine prolapse with a GYNEMESH PS Mesh. Read Less

The objective of this post market, clinical registry is to evaluate the performance of the products of the TVT family of products or vaginal vault or uterine prolapse repair (with laparotomic or laparoscopic approach including robotic assisted) using either Gynemesh PS Mesh or Artisyn Mesh in women undergoing surgery for SUI and POP.

This is a 2-year follow-up study from EVeRLAST which objective was to determine whether expedited resumption of postoperative activity levels is non-inferior to standard activity restrictions with respect to short-term anatomic prolapse outcomes. The preliminary data from the original study suggest expedited instructions are non-inferior. We hypothesize this effect continues at the 2-year postoperative mark and patients continue to have non-inferior outcomes after prolapse surgery when compared to standard postoperative activity restrictions. Participants from the original EVeRLAST will be approached to assess their interest in participating in the 2-year follow up study. We will be collecting objective and subjective data. Read Less

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if removal of transurethral urinary catheters by patients at home is as safe as catheter removal in the office following urogynecologic surgery. Participants will be randomized to either standard catheter removal in the office or catheter self-removal at home. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of 30 mL intraperitoneal Bupivacaine without epinephrine 0.25% on postoperative pain control in patients undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair. The investigators hypothesize that use of intraperitoneal Bupivacaine will decrease postoperative pain scores and opiate consumption in the postoperative period, following pelvic organ prolapse repair.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Materna Prep Device in reducing pelvic muscle injuries during vaginal delivery. Subjects are randomized to Materna Prep Device or Standard of Care without use of the Materna Prep Device Intervention with the Materna Prep Device is expected to be a one-time use of approximately 30-90 minutes during the 1st stage of labor. Subject participation in the study is targeted to be 12 months from the time of the use of the device during delivery. Read Less

Pessaries are silicone devices inserted into the vagina for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence. They are adequate treatment options for patients who are poor surgical candidates, those who decline surgical intervention, or as a temporizing measure in those ultimately planning surgery. Most studies suggest that about 75% of patients are able to be successfully fit with a pessary, but about 50% discontinue pessary use within 12 months of initiation. The purpose of this study is to determine why pessaries are discontinued. Read Less

Sacrospinous ligament suspension (SSLS) was first described in 1958. It is commonly performed for correction of apical prolapse. A combination of delayed absorbable and/or permanent sutures are commonly used for the procedure. When permanent sutures are used, risk of suture-related complications is present and patients may require suture removal. In available literature, there is limited data comparing the efficacy and suture-related complications when using different types of sutures. A previous randomized controlled trial demonstrated that using an absorbable suture is equally efficacious as delayed absorbable sutures in SSLS. However, there is no comparison to absorbable versus permanent suture. Our aim is to compare the absorbable suture versus permanent suture for treating pelvic organ prolapse and to compare suture-related complications. Our primary outcome is comparing POPQ point C at 12 month follow up for absorbable vs permanent suture. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to absorbable or permanent suture. Follow up will occur at 2-4 weeks, 12 weeks and 12 months after the surgery. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes of injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the vaginal tissue as an adjunct therapy at the time of prolapse surgery Read Less

This is a randomized controlled trial in which women with symptomatic mild pelvic organ prolapse undergoing Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy (PFPT) receive vaginal estrogen versus placebo to see if a combined approach to treatment leads to improvement in clinical outcomes. The investigators predict that PFPT in combination with vaginal estrogen will lead to decreased pelvic floor symptoms and improved anatomical support corroborated by biomarker data. Read Less

The purpose of the study will be to assess the efficacy and safety of bladder BOTOX® for overactive bladder symptoms, such as urinary urgency and frequency, given at the time of prolapse surgery. Read Less

This study is trying to see if people from different backgrounds have different feelings when making treatment decisions about prolapse. Read Less
