Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair Plus Mini-Sling Versus Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair Alone

May 19, 2014 updated by: Luigi Mearini, University Of Perugia

URINARY INCONTINENCE AND URO-GENITAL PROLAPSE: A RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE REPAIR PLUS MINI-SLING VERSUS PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE REPAIR ALONE

The investigators have performed colposacropexy in women with uterovaginal prolapse for many years with satisfactory results.

This study was designed to compare whether, in the treatment of patients with uro-genital prolapse and urinary incontinence, the addition of a contemporary anti-incontinence procedure such as mini-sling is associated with a reduction of post-operative urinary incontinence (correction of pre-existent urinary incontinence and prevention of masked urinary incontinence).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: POP repair plus mini-sling
Patients affected by urogenital prolapse and urinary incontinence, who are candidates for pelvic organ prolapsed repair using sacropexy, will receive sacropexy plus anti-incontinence procedure (mini-sling).
Procedure: POP repair plus mini-sling

For POP, the anterior vaginal wall is dissected from the bladder to expose a vaginal wall area where the mesh will be attached. The procedure is repeated for the posterior vaginal wall. The sacral promontory surface is prepared and 1 non-reabsorbable sutures are placed into the sacral periosteum.

A mini sling system will be used, placing a urethral low-tension tape anchored to the obturator muscles bilaterally at the level of tendinous arc. This mini-sling is a polypropylene monofilament mesh.
Active Comparator: pelvic organ prolapse repair
Patients affected by urogenital prolapsed and urinary incontinence, who are candidates for pelvic organ prolapsed repair using sacropexy, will receive sacropexy alone.
Procedure: POP repair
For POP repair, the anterior vaginal wall is dissected from the bladder to expose a vaginal wall area where the mesh will be attached. The procedure is repeated for the posterior vaginal wall. The sacral promontory surface is prepared and 1 non-reabsorbable sutures are placed into the sacral periosteum. The peritoneum is closed over the meshes.
