Outcomes after anterior vaginal wall repair with mesh: a randomized, controlled trial with a 3 year follow-up.

Objective: The objective of the study was to compare anterior colporrhaphy with and without a mesh.

Study Design: Two hundred two women with anterior prolapse were assigned to undergo colporrhaphy alone or reinforced with a tailored polypropylene mesh. Before and 2, 12, 24, and 36 months after surgery, the outcome was assessed by examination and standard questions.

Symptom resolution and sexual function after anterior vaginal wall repair with or without polypropylene mesh.

To evaluate whether symptom resolution and sexual function is better after reinforcement with polypropylene mesh than with traditional anterior repair. Ninety-seven patients were randomized to anterior colporrhaphy and 105 to an operation with mesh. Participants were evaluated up to 24 months by physical examination, standard questions, and questionnaire.

Low-weight polypropylene mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare anterior colporrhaphy with and without a tailored mesh.

Methods: Postmenopausal women with anterior vaginal prolapse to the hymen or beyond were randomly assigned to undergo traditional anterior colporrhaphy alone or reinforced with mesh. The low-weight monofilament polypropylene mesh was self-tailored, having four arms and being placed over the plicated fascia.
