Objective: To evaluate efficacy of the Elevate Anterior and Apical (EAA) in the repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) when performed after previous hysterectomy and with or without uterine preservation during POP surgery.
Materials And Methods: One hundred forty-two women with anterior vaginal prolapse and/or apical descent ≥ stage II were enrolled. The primary outcome was treatment failure defined as > stage II POP-Q during follow-up using the Last observed Failure Carried Forward method.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the Elevate Apical and Posterior single-incision mesh system (SIMS) with IntePro Lite for pelvic organ prolapse repair.
Methods: This prospective multicenter study included 139 women with ≥ stage II posterior vaginal prolapse and/or apical descent who underwent placement of type I polypropylene mesh through a single transvaginal incision with no external needle passes. Primary endpoint was the percent of patients with posterior and/or apical stage ≤ I ("cure") at follow-up.
Objective: We sought to assess the efficacy and safety of 2 dosing regimens of a novel, oral tranexamic acid formulation (Lysteda; Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc, Parsippany, NJ) in women with cyclic heavy menstrual bleeding.
Study Design: This was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-group trial for 3 menstrual cycles (n = 304). Women with mean menstrual blood loss (MBL) of ≥ 80 mL/cycle were randomized to receive either 1.
Objective: To compare outcomes of anterior colporrhaphy alone to that reinforced with bovine pericardium graft.
Methods: Women with anterior vaginal wall prolapse were enrolled in a randomized fashion in this grafted compared with nongrafted repair study. Outcome measures included pelvic organ prolapse quantification data, quality-of-life assessment, healing abnormalities, and complications.
