Composite Outcomes of Mesh vs Suture Techniques for Prolapse Repair: A Randomized Controlled Multicentre Trial

Sponsor: University of British Columbia

Summary

This is a Canadian, multi-centre, double-blind randomized controlled trial of an innovative vaginal surgery technique for correction of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women. Vaginal surgery is preferred as minimally invasive, however the investigators do not know if materials such as synthetic polypropylene mesh improve success, durability and cost-effectiveness long-term. The investigators principal goal is to compare the experimental bilateral sacrospinous vaginal vault fixation with synthetic mesh arms (BSSVF-M) to the current standard of sacrospinous ligament suspension with synthetic sutures (SSLS) over a timeline of 2 years. Patients and evaluators will be blind to technique.
