Quality of Life, Sexuality, Anatomical Results and Side-effects of Implantation of an Alloplastic Mesh for Cystocele Correction at Follow-up after 36 Months.

Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse can significantly reduce quality of life of affected women, with many cases requiring corrective surgery. The rate of recurrence is relatively high after conventional prolapse surgery. In recent years, alloplastic meshes have increasingly been implanted to stabilize the pelvic floor, which has led to considerable improvement of anatomical results.

Improvement of pelvic floor-related quality of life and sexual function after vaginal mesh implantation for cystocele: primary endpoint of a prospective multicentre trial.

Purpose: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) impairs quality of life (QoL) due to vaginal bulge symptoms and changes in bladder/bowel and sexual function. The effect of alloplastic meshes on QoL is still being discussed. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the effect of mesh implantation on QoL and sexual function over 1 year.
