Study summary

This study aims to determine the rate of recurrence of central pelvic organ prolapse in patients who have undergone surgery (sacropexy with and without mesh) for the same pathology.

Read the detailed description

There is a lack of data in the literature comparing sacroplexing with the use of mesh with sacroplexing performed without the use of mesh in terms of recurrence, improvement in symptoms, and restoration of normal pelvic organ prolapse relationships. The objective of this study is to determine the rate of recurrence of central pelvic organ prolapse in patients with a clinical diagnosis of genital prolapse stage ≥ 2 according to the POP-Q classification who underwent laparoscopic sacroplasty with mesh (group 1) and without mesh (group 2). The study may provide information on the impact of mesh in laparoscopic surgery for the correction of central pelvic organ prolapse.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Clinical diagnosis of genital prolapse stage ≥ 2 according to POP-Q classification
  • Surgical treatment of laparoscopic sacropexy by mesh (group 1) and without (group 2) in female patients
  • Acquisition of

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age > 80 years
  • Previous genital prolapse surgery
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Recurrence rate of central pelvic organ prolapse

    The rate of recurrence of central pelvic organ prolapse in patients with a clinical diagnosis of genital prolapse stage ≥ 2 according to the POP-Q classification, undergoing sacroplasty with and without mesh

    Time frame: 24 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Recurrence rate of central pelvic organ prolapse in laparoscopic sacral hysteropexy, sacralcervicopexy and sacralcolpopexy

    The rate of pelvic organ prolapse recurrence in patients treated with mesh (group 1) and without (group 2) in the laparoscopic sacral hysteropexy, sacralcervicopexy and sacralcolpopexy

    Time frame: 24 months after surgery

  2. Rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications

    Evaluation of intraoperative and postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification

    Time frame: During surgery and within 30 days

  3. Modification of symptoms after surgery

    Change in pre- and post-operative symptomatology assessed through the completion of a questionnaire

    Time frame: Before surgery and 24 months after surgery

  4. Changes in the disease framework

    Change in the disease framework of pelvic organ prolapse according to the POP-Q classification assessed before and after surgery

    Time frame: Before surgery and 24 months after surgery
