Barbed-suture Efficiency Study for Sacrocolpopexy
Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
Minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (SCP) performed laparoscopically or with robotic assistance is associated with improved patient-centered outcomes such as faster recovery times, less pain, less bleeding, and shorter hospital stay, however at the expense of longer operating times. One of the time consuming parts of the procedure is vaginal mesh attachment.

Interventions
Non-barbed delayed absorbable suture
The non-barbed delayed absorbable suture group vaginal mesh attachment will be performed with 2-0 PDS (polydioxanone). The vaginal mesh will be attached with at least four interrupted sutures on the anterior vagina and posterior vagina.
Barbed delayed absorbable suture
The barbed delayed absorbable suture group vaginal mesh attachment will be performed with 2-0 V-Loc. The vaginal mesh will be attached with a running V-Loc on the anterior and posterior vagina.
