A Prospective Comparison of Two Vaginal Mesh Kits in the Management of Anterior and Apical Vaginal Prolapse: Long Term-results for Apical Fixation and Quality of Life
A Prospective Comparison of Two Vaginal Mesh Kits in the Management of Anterior and Apical Vaginal Prolapse: Long Term-results for Apical Fixation and Quality of Life
Our study is a non-randomized prospective study compared two groups matched for anterior/apical POP-Q grade: 84 received Elevate Ant™ single-incision mesh (group A) and 42 Perigee™ transvaginal mesh (group B). The study hypothesis was that the Elevate Ant™ mesh would provide better apical correction than the Perigee™ mesh. One- and 2-year follow-up comprised anatomic assessment (POP-Q) and QoL (PFDI-20, PFIQ-7, PISQ-12). Success was defined as 2-year POP-Q ≤1. Secondary endpoints were function and complications.
