An observational study in Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Rectal Prolapse and Urinary Stress Incontinence, sponsored by Poitiers University Hospital. Active, not recruiting at 31 sites in France. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-09-21.

  1. The study's listed conditions name Rectal Prolapse, a narrower term within Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

Observatory of Materiovigilance After Surgery of Urinary Incontinence or Prolapse in Women Implantable medical devices (meshes) used in pelvic organ prolapse surgery (genital prolapse, rectal prolapse), or incontinence surgery may be source of severe complications.

Read the detailed description

RATIONAL Implantable medical devices (meshes) used in pelvic organ prolapse surgery (genital prolapse, rectal prolapse), or incontinence surgery may be source of severe complications.

MAIN OBJECTIVE Estimate the incidence of severe complications during or after surgery of urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse in adult women depending on the type of surgery performed.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES Estimate the incidence of severe complications after urinary incontinence or prolapse surgery as a function of time since surgery.

Compare the incidence rates of severe complications considering the type of procedure (with or without mesh, vaginal or laparoscopic, etc.), comorbidities, mesh type, surgeon experience, and surgical volume centre.

Report the health and satisfaction of operated women. Estimate the risk of revision surgery for failure or recurrence.

MAIN OUTCOME Per- and post-operative complications (less than 12 months after surgery), or late (after 12 months) severe (grade III or higher according to the Clavien-Dindo classification)

OTHER OUTCOMES Time lapse of occurrence of severe complications Surgical recovery for failure or recurrence Health and perceived improvement (OMS, EQ5D, an PGI-I questionnaires)

DESIGN Prospective multicentre cohort allowing the constitution and analysis of an observatory off surgery for genital prolapse, rectal prolapse and urinary stress incontinence in women.

INCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Operated for urinary incontinence, genital prolapse, or rectal prolapse in one of the centres participating in the observatory
  • 18 years old or more.

SUBJECTS NUMBER Estimated at 3000 per year during 5 years in 18 participating centres

STUDY LENGTH Duration of the inclusion period: 2 years with the initial grant from ANSM (Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des produits de santé, French Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency), after new funding by ANSM 5 years of inclusion in total.

Duration of participation of subjects: 2 years with grant from ANSM, after the new funding by ANSM 10 years.

Total duration of the study: 3 years with the grant from ANSM, 15 years with the new funding.

ANALYSIS PLANNED The one-year analysis will be based on multivariate logistic regression analysis (considering confounding factors). The 10-year (or intermediate-term) analysis will use survival analysis methods to account for delays in complications: Kaplan-Meier curves; Model of Cox proportional hazards.

PERSPECTIVES The observatory should make it possible to precise the tolerance and the short- and long-term consequences of the use of these implantable devices (meshes) in pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence surgery in women and to specify the risk factors for severe complications.

The observatory will enable to make comparisons between the different types of meshes and different surgical procedures, and to identify those that may present problems.

Clinical practice recommendations may be issued as well as standards for marketing.

Lead sponsor

Poitiers University Hospital is the lead sponsor of 314 studies on the registry; 62 are open to participants now.

Compared within Rectal Prolapse, this study's primary condition as ClinicalTrials.gg classifies it; the registry's first condition term is Pelvic Organ Prolapse. The counts are of registry records indexed under each term, refreshed daily. How we classify →

Interventions

  • Procedureurinary incontinence, pelvic organ or rectal prolapse surgery

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of severe complications

    Grade III or more according to Clavien-Dindo classification

    Time frame: 10 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time lapse of occurrence of severe complications

    Time frame: 10 years

  2. Surgical recovery for failure or recurrence

    Number participent with new revision surgery for failure Number participent with new revision surgery for recurrence

    Time frame: 10 years

  3. Health and perceived improvement

    Scale OMS/ ECOG Eastern Cooperative Oncology Groupone covers six values, from 0 to 5, where 0 represents a good state of health and 5 the death.

    Time frame: 10 years

  4. Health and perceived improvement

    EQ5D is a standardised measure of health status developed Each of the 5 dimensions comprising the EQ-5D descriptive system is divided into 5 levels of perceived problems : * Level 1 : indicating no problem * Level 2 : indicating slight problems * Level 3 : indicating moderate problems * Level 4 : indicating severe problems * Level 5 : indicating extreme problems

    Time frame: 10 years

  5. Health and perceived improvement

    PGI-I, Patient Global Impression of Improvement, is a transition scale that is a single question asking the patient to rate their urinary tract condition now, as compared with how it was prior to before beginning treatment on a scale from 1. Very much better to 7. Very much worse.

    Time frame: 10 years

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
