Calistar A vs. Calistar S - Comparative Cohort Retrospective Analysis of Single Incision POP Systems

Calistar A vs. Calistar S - Cohort Retrospective Analysis

The main objective of this study is to compare the initial outcomes and complication of two meshes implanted through a single incision to treat anterior and apical prolapses, Calistar A and a second-generation low weight mesh called Calistar S (Soft).

The main objective of this study is to compare the initial outcomes and complication of two meshes implanted through a single incision to treat anterior and apical prolapses, Calistar A and a second-generation low weight mesh called Calistar S (Soft). In such sense, objective and subjective parameters will be retrospectively tested to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of this products. Safety will be assessed by register of complications and effectiveness will be evaluated by pelvic floor reconstruction and quality of life improvements.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Female
• Anterior and apical prolapse Stage 3 (according to POP-Q) or more with or without stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
• Primary or recurrent treatment with Calistar S or Calistar A
• At least 6 months follow-up

Exclusion Criteria:

• Recurrent vaginal infections,
• Chronic colorectal diseases (chronic nonspecific ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, diverticulosis, Chron's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, familial polyposis).
