Use Of Three Types Of Synthetic Mesh Materials In Sling Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating Effectiveness And Complications

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical results contributions to surgical success,and complications of mixed type of mesh materials as well as prolen mesh materials in sling surgery in a 3 year follow-up the first time in literature.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Broad based double forced sling operations were performed in 144 patients by using 3 different types of mesh materials between 2004 and 2007. Group I consisted of 48 patients in whom Vypromesh® (Ethicon,USA) was used; Group II consisted of 48 patients in whom Ultrapromesh®( Ethicon,USA) and Group III consisted of 48 patients in whom Prolene light mesh® (Johnson&Johnson,USA) was used. The data of the patients and the success of the operation were evaluated based on 24hr pad test, ICIQ-SF scoring, and Korman questionnaire analysis.

Main outcome measures:The Ultrapromesh® synthetic sling procedures have lower complications incidence and higher success rates than the other synthetic slings in 3-year follow-up.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Active Comparator: Vypromesh®(Ethicon,USA)
Vypromesh®(semiabsorbable multiflament mesh;non-absorbable Polypropylene+absorbable Poliglactin)
Procedure: Synthetic sling surgery
An incision of inverted A shape was inflicted on the anterior vaginal wall(AVW)of the vagina.The upper part of A shaped incision was formed into an island belonging to the vaginal wall.This patch was 3×4cm in most of the patients.Proximal AVWwas dissected as a flap.Synthetics mesh materials were first sutured onto the upper part of the A on the vaginal island with absorbable vicrly sutures.Then,with 2polypropilen sutures,these meshes were fixed on both the right and left sides of this island in a helical manner to form a suspension and using curved Kishner needles,the prolene sutures were transferred to suprapubic area.These sutures were ligated on the rectus fascia in a crosswise manner.The mobile lower wing was advanced onto the island and was sutured onto the vaginal skin with intermittent sutures using 3-0 monocryl sutures.After cystoscopy,the prolene sutures were ligated crosswise in the suprapubic region.Special attention was paid notto create much tension on the mesh material.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
continence rates at three years after surgery
Time Frame: three years after surgery
Ultrapromesh® with its superior biomechanical characteristics and with its high success rates,low vaginal and urethral extrusion and denovo urgency rates determined in clinical studies,can be reliably and effectively used in sling surgery.
three years after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
