Safety and Efficacy of Advanced Bipolar Vessel Sealing in Vaginal Hysterectomy: 1000 Cases.

Study Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of advanced electrothermal bipolar vessel sealing (EBVS) during vaginal hysterectomy by evaluating urinary complications, overall complications, and reoperation rate.

Design: A retrospective cohort (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting: High-volume gynecologic surgeon practice, private hospital.

Total transvaginal mesh (TVM) technique for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse: a 5-year prospective follow-up study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To evaluate clinical effectiveness and complication rates at 5 years following the total Trans Vaginal Mesh (TVM) technique to treat pelvic organ prolapse.

Methods: Prospective, observational, multi-centre study in patients with prolapse of stage II or higher.

Results: Of the 90 women enrolled in the study, 82 (91%) were available for the 5-year follow-up period.

Total transvaginal mesh (TVM) technique for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse: a 3-year prospective follow-up study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To evaluate clinical outcomes at 3 years following total transvaginal mesh (TVM) technique to treat vaginal prolapse.

Methods: Prospective, observational study in patients with prolapse ≥ stage II. Success was defined as POP-Q-stage 0-I and absence of surgical re-intervention for prolapse.
