Pelvic Organ Prolapse

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pre-procedure patient reminder systems on patient satisfaction, preparedness, and anxiety among patients undergoing urodynamics studies. The rate of successful procedure completion will be compared between a prospective intervention group and a historical control group to determine whether the intervention improves procedural success and healthcare delivery.

This study is a prospective cohort study which aims to assess patient satisfaction and preparedness for surgery through two methods of preoperative counseling: standard individual phone calls versus virtual group sessions called Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs). The study will focus on patients undergoing urogynecology prolapse surgeries at Cleveland Clinic. Researchers hypothesize that virtual group counseling will improve patient satisfaction and preparedness compared to individual phone calls. Additionally, the study will evaluate healthcare resource utilization as a secondary outcome. Participants will complete surveys before and after surgery to measure satisfaction and preparedness using validated tools. The study will enroll patients aged 18 and older who can provide informed consent and are scheduled for specific prolapse surgeries. Findings may help improve preoperative counseling practices and enhance patient-centered care.

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.

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.

The AccelERate study will evaluate the physical recovery of patients who have undergone Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) surgery. This will be evaluated via a self-reported recovery questionnaire completed daily. Participants will wear an accelerometer device on their non-dominant wrist and be given either routine or exercise-focused postoperative instructions. The primary outcome will be a comparison of the number of days needed to reach self-reported "mostly recovered" status between randomly assigned instruction groups.

Surgical correction of the prolapse in the anterior compartment remains one of the major challenges in urogynecology. Paravaginal defect in level II of vaginal fixation results in the majority of cystoceles. Clinically, these defects are often combined and/or may be bilateral. Hence, careful assessment and individualized planning of the surgical procedure is essential to optimize cystocele repair outcome. Several surgical techniques and approaches have been used for cystocele repair. After the ban on transvaginal meshes, the interest in native tissue repair has risen. Paravaginal defect repair is an effective surgery for paravaginal defect reconstruction. There is a current trend to utilize transvaginal surgery instead of more invasive transabdominal surgery. A novel method of transvaginal paravaginal defect repair - TOCR (transobturator cystocele repair) was suggested. The principle objective of the present trial is to compare its efficacy and safety to preexisting method of native tissue cystocele repair.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition affecting women's quality of life due to the descent of pelvic organs caused by weak pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) alone and PFMT combined with hypopressive exercises in improving pelvic floor muscle strength, reducing dyspareunia, and enhancing overall quality of life in women aged 45-65 diagnosed with stage I-II POP.This study will be randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in Qasim Sandhu Hospital, Muhammadi Medical Trust and Clinic 1. This will undergo 4 sessions totaling 1 month of treatment. . Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used and 46 participants will be recruited in study after randomization.The subjects will be divided into two groups. Group A will receive pelvic floor muscle training with hypopressive exercises and Group B will receive pelvic floor muscle training without hypopressive exercises receiving baseline treatment.

This study looks at the best time to place a midurethral sling (MUS), which is a small piece of mesh used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) (leaking urine when you cough, laugh, or exercise). The sling is placed during a type of surgery called robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC). This surgery helps fix pelvic organ prolapse, when organs like the bladder or uterus drop from their normal place. Doctors can place the sling either before or after they lift and support the top of the vagina during surgery, but they aren't sure which timing works better. In this study, investigators are comparing what is the best time to place the sling, how the patient feels after surgery and if a patient's symptoms got better or worse.

Pelvic organ prolapse is an increasingly common functional disorder which affects approximately 30 to 40% of the female population, 12% of whom have a symptomatic form, with a psychological, physical and social impact. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy represents the surgical "gold standard" for the treatment of this functional disorder. It aims to suspend the vaginal vault by means of a prosthesis. The patient satisfaction rate is evaluated at 94% with low overall complication rate, evaluated at 11%. Pelvic organ prolapse surgery is a common, with an estimated 30,000 procedures carried out in France in 2013 (excluding hysterectomy) (2013 ATIH data), and the number will increase in the future due to increasing life expectancy. 13% of women will undergo this type of procedure. The French General Directorate of Health Care Supply (DGOS) deems outpatient surgery to be the benchmark for surgical activity in all eligible patients, and has expressed the need for recommendations and tools for supporting its development. The rate of outpatient surgery for prolapse remains low in France (6.1%, 2015 ATIH data), while it is 25% in the US and 56% in Denmark. The average duration of hospital stays for DRG N81.2 (first degree uterine prolapse) in 2015 was 3.43 days. These procedures have been the subject of publications concerning outpatient care and involving low numbers of patients, with the exception of the publication by Sinhal which involved 111 patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of postoperative sitz baths in patient pain perception and recovery following surgical repair of prolapse. The SORE Study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial that aims to compare postoperative pain intensity one week after native tissue repair of pelvic organ prolapse for patients undergoing a sitz bath regimen versus usual care. Findings from this study may contribute to more robust, multimodal postoperative pain management plans if proven efficacious or, alternatively, reduce plastic medical waste and simplify postoperative pain plans if found to be ineffective.

The project seeks to investigate effectiveness of PFMT during pregnancy.

The purpose of this study is to compare change in pelvic floor symptoms between patients receiving medical therapy for weight loss and surgical treatment for weight loss. Examples of pelvic floor symptoms include urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, fecal incontinence, and vaginal prolapse. Participants in this study do not need to have any pelvic floor symptoms to enroll in the study. Understanding how different types of weight loss treatment impact pelvic floor symptoms will help clinicians guide which weight loss treatments are recommended for patients with pelvic floor symptoms in the future.

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.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the therapeutic effects of different pelvic floor rehabilitation treatments, including pelvic floor muscle training , pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation, and magnetic stimulation, in a population of Chinese patients with female pelvic floor dysfunction disorders. The study aims to find out the individualised pelvic floor rehabilitation treatment plan suitable for the Chinese population. The main question it aims to answer is: 1. Do patients with reduced pelvic floor muscle strength after childbirth, or patients with mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse and symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse benefit from pelvic floor rehabilitation? 2. Is the combination of biofeedback electrical stimulation plus pelvic floor magnetic stimulation superior to single electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation or pelvic floor muscle training? 3. Which pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy is most suitable for Chinese patients with female pelvic floor dysfunction? 4. What factors are early predictors of developing female pelvic floor dysfunction? And what factors can predict the prognostic status of patients treated with pelvic floor rehabilitation? Participants in the multicenter will be treated with different rehabilitation therapies, during which the researchers will collect clinical symptoms using the PFDI20 questionnaire, and POP-Q scores, pelvic floor muscle strength, and electromyography results from participants before, at the end of, and 3 months and 1 year after the end of treatment.

This study aims to compare the surgical outcomes, safety profiles, and patient satisfaction between two minimally invasive techniques for pelvic organ prolapse repair: Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (V-NOTES) mesh-free sacrocolpopexy and laparoscopic mesh-free sacrocolpopexy. By evaluating perioperative data, complication rates, anatomical and functional outcomes, this trial seeks to determine whether the V-NOTES approach provides comparable or superior results to the traditional laparoscopic technique, without the use of synthetic mesh.

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop perioperative follow-up and evaluation of their effectiveness protocols in women aged 30-65 having pelvic organ prolapse surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the perioperative follow up protocol developed for women aged 30-65 having pelvic organ prolapse surgery effective? * Does the developed perioperative follow up protocol for women aged 30-65 having pelvic organ prolapse surgery have an effect on quality of life, pelvic organ symptom score, sexual function, functional health patterns and anxiety?

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.

This prospective, multi center cohort trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hysteropexy using Splentis via the vaginal route in primary uterine prolapse

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of vaginal ring pessary material on pessary complications and patients' satisfaction. Participants who are using PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pessary will be randomized to 1. PVC vaginal ring pessary 2. Silicon vaginal ring pessary Their pessary-related complications, patients' satisfaction, pain during pessary exchange and prolapse related symptoms with reference to PFDI-20 score will be assessed in a period of six months.

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous fat grafting as a novel treatment for rectocele, a condition characterized by the herniation of rectal tissue into the posterior vaginal wall. Women aged 18 to 60 years with mild to moderate rectocele, presenting with symptoms such as obstructive defecation or vaginal bulge, will undergo submucosal fat injections. The study will assess the procedure\'s ability to alleviate symptoms and reduce prolapse recurrence. This prospective, single-arm trial will be conducted at Cairo University Hospitals.

This is an observational study that gives baseline and follow-up information, that does not directly influence the allocation of patients to various treatment Options (conservative and surgical therapy of Pelvic Organ Prolapse) but the knowledge gained of the data will help to develop treatment strategies.

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.

This is a single-center prospective cohort study sponsored by the University Hospitals Leuven (UZ). Women will undergo a pelvic floor ultrasound and will be asked to fill out a questionnaire at the time of their admission into the labour suite, at the postpartum check-up and 12 months postpartum. The primary objective is to correlate self-reported symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD) (binary outcome) at one year after delivery with structural changes to the Pelvic Floor Muscles (PFM) and postpartum evidence of levator avulsion (binary indicator) as measured by TransPerineal UltraSound (TPUS). Secondary objectives are to compare demographical and obstetrical variables between patients suffering from PFD symptoms or pelvic floor injury (documented one year after delivery) and those who do not; to record how patients manage and cope with PFD including recovery and compliance with Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) as prescribed in the standard pathway of peripartum care; and to use of TPUS images for the development of artificial intelligence tools for automated image analysis. Primary outcomes are PFD symptoms one year after delivery and injury to the PFM evidenced by POP-Q and TPUS. The demographic variables and information about the pregnancy and the delivery will be obtained from the medical records. The presence and severity of PFD will be measured using standardized self-reporting tools: Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Index (POP-DI), Patient Assessment Constipation-SYMptoms (PAC-SYM), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Urinary Incontinence - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), St. Mark's Incontinence Score (SMIS), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Female Sexual Distress Scale - Revised (FSDS-R). FSFI is a widely used generic tool with sufficient granularity and validated in a large number of languages. FSDS-R assesses the construct "personal distress", which has been considered as an additional important aspect contributing to sexual dysfunction of women. PFD, as a clustered outcome, being the presence of any kind of pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms, will be defined as POP-DI score of ≥11 OR ICIQ-SF score of ≥1 OR SMIS score of ≥1 OR FSFI score ≤ 26.55 OR FSDS-R score ≥11.
