About this trial

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial designed to compare the effectiveness and safety of two methods of pelvic floor reconstruction in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP): sacrospinous hysteropexy (SSHP) with synthetic mesh, vascularized anterior vaginal wall flap, anterior colporrhaphy, and sacrospinous hysteropexy with synthetic mesh. , anterior colporrhaphy, as well as the impact of surgery on quality of life.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Objective cure rate

The patient is considered cured if there is no prolapse beyond the hymen and the cervix is above -1 cm according to POP-Q (0-1 stage)

Time frame
12 months (1 year)

Secondary outcomes

1

Satisfaction with the surgery

Measured through the Patient Global Impression of Improvement questionnaire (PGI-I), validated in Russia. The patient marks the number that best describes her post-operative condition, compared with how it was before surgery. The score ranges from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse).

Time frame
Measured postoperatively at intervals of 6, 12 months postoperatively, up to 100 weeks
2

The impact of treatment on sexual function

Measured through the scoring of Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) validated in Russia. The scale evaluates sexual function in patients with urinary incontinence and/or POP. The responses are graded on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (always) to 4 (never). Items 1 - 4 are reversely scored and a total of 48 is the maximum score. The higher scores indicate better sexual function.

Time frame
Measured postoperatively at intervals of 6, 12 months postoperatively, Measured postoperatively at intervals of 6, 12 months postoperatively, up to 100 weeks
3

The impact of treatment on the quality of life

Measured through the Pelvic Floor Disability Index (PFDI-20), validated in Russia. The item includes 20 questions. The score ranges from 0 to 300. The higher the score, the worse the outcome.

Time frame
Measured postoperatively at intervals of 6, 12 months postoperatively, Measured postoperatively at intervals of 6, 12 months postoperatively, up to 100 weeks
4

Observed complications

Presence of any adverse effects such as: bleeding requiring blood transfusion, haematoma, organ perforation, nerve injury, vaginal scarring and shortening, wound infection, urinary tract infection, pelvic pain, mesh extrusion in the vagina, mesh erosion into the urinary tract, dyspareunia de novo, de novo urgency, atonic bladder, de novo stress urinary incontinence.

Time frame
Measured postoperatively at intervals of 6, 12 months postoperatively, Measured postoperatively at intervals of 6, 12 months postoperatively, up to 100 weeks
