Factors Affecting the Improvement of Severity of Concomitant USI After a Novel TVM Surgery for Women With POP

Completed
Conditions
Concomitant Conditions
Interventions
Procedure: The novel anterior TVM surgeries
Registration Number
NCT03607968
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan University Hospital
Brief Summary

Background/Purpose:

A novel transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery for women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) had been reported. However, factors affecting the efficacy of this novel TVM surgery are unknown; and the above information should be important for preoperative consultation, especially for POP women with concomitant urodynamic stress incontinence (USI). Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the factors responsible for anti-incontinence effect of this novel anterior TVM surgery.

Patients and Methods:

All women with POP and concomitant overt or occult USI, who underwent the novel anterior TVM surgeries, were enrolled in this study. Medical records, including urodynamic studies, questionnaires and 3-day bladder diaries, were retrospectively reviewed. Linear regress analysis was used to identify factors that were responsible for the changes in pad weights from baseline \[i.e., 100 \* (postoperative pad weight - baseline pad weight)/baseline pad weight\].

Expected Results:

The investigators will get the factors responsible for anti-incontinence effect of this novel anterior TVM surgery. Key Words: pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence, pad test, urodynamic stress incontinence

Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the factors responsible for anti-incontinence effect of this novel anterior TVM surgery.

Methods:

All women with POP and concomitant overt or occult USI, who underwent the novel anterior TVM surgeries between November 2011 and December 2015 at the Department of Obstetrics \& Gynecology, were enrolled in this study. Medical records, including urodynamic studies, questionnaires and 3-day bladder diaries, were retrospectively reviewed. Linear regress analysis was used to identify factors that were responsible for the changes in pad weights from baseline \[i.e., 100 \* (postoperative pad weight - baseline pad weight)/baseline pad weight\].

Expected Results:
