Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of device and procedure related adverse events36 Month
Recurrence of Prolapse36 Month

Recurrent prolapse is measured anatomically at the target compartment by leading edge of prolapse beyond the hymenal ring by POP-Q examination, or additional surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse in the target vaginal compartment(s), or patient reporting symptoms of vaginal bulging.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Recurrent prolapse is measured anatomically by leading edge of prolapse in the target compartment at or beyond the hymenal ring by POP-Q examination, or additional surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse in the target vaginal compartment(s), or patient reporting symptoms of vaginal bulging.
