Prospective Analysis of Restorelle in the Treatment of Uterine Prolapse

Prospective Analysis of Restorelle in the Treatment of Uterine Prolapse

The purpose of this study is to determine the long term performance of Restorelle system for the treatment of uterine prolapse.

This study is being done to evaluate the performance of the Restorelle system, which uses Smartmesh - an ultra-lightweight mesh for uterine prolapse management. Most patients undergo a hysterectomy i.e. removal of the uterus when they have a prolapse. However, this has often been found to be an unnecessary operation. The investigators are studying the use of the Restorelle mesh system to preserve the uterus when there is a uterine prolapse.
