Official title
Long Term Follow Up Of Transvaginal Cystocele Repair Using Four Armed Collagen Coated Polyester Mesh; Retrospective Cohort Study With Prospective Long-term Follow-up
Overview
This study aims to assess safety and efficacy of transvaginal repair of cystocele using four armed collagen coated polyester mesh beyond 5 years postoperatively.
Detailed description
Cystocele, also known as anterior vaginal wall prolapse, is a common condition in females, particularly those with or without uterine prolapse.
Traditionally, cystocele repair has been performed using native tissue suturing techniques. This method involves reinforcing the weakened vaginal wall by plicating and tightening the patient's tissues without introducing any foreign material. While suture repair is associated with fewer foreign body complications, long-term studies have reported notable recurrence rates, leading some surgeons to seek alternative methods.
Mesh insertion involves placing a synthetic material underneath the bladder to reinforce the vaginal wall and improve long-term anatomical outcomes. Although mesh repairs initially showed promising results in reducing recurrence, concerns have arisen regarding complications such as mesh erosion, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia.
