Mesh pullout force: comparative study of different deployment techniques in a sheep model.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Pullout force of mesh from tissue is one of the important mechanical properties of an implanted mesh to repair pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The EndoFast Reliant™ system kit allows mesh attachment with soft-tissue fasteners. The aim of this study was to compare the pullout force that developed in mesh that was attached by EndoFast Reliant fasteners to mesh that was attached by trocar-based methods (tunnel, pocket) in a sheep model.

Trocarless system for mesh attachment in pelvic organ prolapse repair--1-year evaluation.

Introduction And Hypothesis: EndoFast Reliant system is a novel technology for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair that attaches mesh directly with metal fasteners.

Methods: This was a prospective multicenter study in 20 women who underwent vaginal POP repair to evaluate safety and efficacy. The patients were followed for 12 months, using POP-Q measures, questionnaires on symptoms (PFDI), and sexual function (FSFI).
