研究概览
简要总结
The study purpose is to gain experience with the TOPAS system, a minimally- invasively delivered self-fixating mesh for the treatment of pelvic floor weakness in women with symptoms of moderate fecal incontinence
详细描述
This is a multi-center study under a common protocol. Approximately 20-30 patients will be enrolled across 5 sites in the U.S. The study population is females at least 21 years of age who have attempted but have not been satisfied with conservative therapy for their fecal incontinence symptoms. The study follow-up is two years.

结局指标
主要结局
Fecal Incontinence Incidence From Baseline (Pre-treatment) Through 24 Months Post-treatment
时间窗: Baseline (pre-treatment), 6 Week, 3 Month, 6 Month, 12 Month and 24 Month post-treatment
Includes solid and liquid stools, as measured by the mean rate obtained using a subject-reported bowel diary. The 3 month post-treatment visit was the primary endpoint time period.

- Fecal Incontinence Symptoms as Measured by the Wexner Score(Baseline (pre-treatment), 6 Week, 3 Month, 6 Month, 12 Month and 24 Month post-treatment)
- Intra- and Peri-Surgical Parameters: Length of Hospital Stay(Length of the hospital stay for the device implant procedure)
- Intra- and Peri-Surgical Parameters: Estimated Blood Loss During Implant Procedure(Duration of the device implant procedure (an average of 23 minutes))
- Incidence Rate of Complications During the 24 Month Post-Treatment Follow-up Period(Through 24 month post-treatment)
- Fecal Incontinence Symptoms as Measured by Symptom Severity Scale in Fecal Incontinence(Baseline (pre-treatment), 6 Week, 3 Month, 6 Month, 12 Month and 24 Month post-treatment)
- Quality of Life Assessment as Measured by Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life(Baseline (pre-treatment), 3 Month, 6 Month, 12 Month and 24 Month post-treatment)
- Pain Intensity as Measured by the Pain Intensity Scale(Baseline (pre-treatment), 6 Week post-treatment)
