About this study

Official title: Use Of Three Types Of Synthetic Mesh Materials In Sling Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating Effectiveness And Complications

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical results contributions to surgical success,and complications of mixed type of mesh materials as well as prolen mesh materials in sling surgery in a 3 year follow-up the first time in literature.

Read the detailed description

Broad based double forced sling operations were performed in 144 patients by using 3 different types of mesh materials between 2004 and 2007. Group I consisted of 48 patients in whom Vypromesh® (Ethicon,USA) was used; Group II consisted of 48 patients in whom Ultrapromesh®( Ethicon,USA) and Group III consisted of 48 patients in whom Prolene light mesh® (Johnson\&Johnson,USA) was used. The data of the patients and the success of the operation were evaluated based on 24hr pad test, ICIQ-SF scoring, and Korman questionnaire analysis.

Main outcome measures:The Ultrapromesh® synthetic sling procedures have lower complications incidence and higher success rates than the other synthetic slings in 3-year follow-up.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Synthetic sling surgeryProcedure or surgery

    An incision of inverted A shape was inflicted on the anterior vaginal wall(AVW)of the vagina.The upper part of A shaped incision was formed into an island belonging to the vaginal wall.This patch was 3×4cm in most of the patients.Proximal AVWwas dissected as a flap.Synthetics mesh materials were first sutured onto the upper part of the A on the vaginal island with absorbable vicrly sutures.Then,with 2polypropilen sutures,these meshes were fixed on both the right and left sides of this island in a helical manner to form a suspension and using curved Kishner needles,the prolene sutures were transferred to suprapubic area.These sutures were ligated on the rectus fascia in a crosswise manner.The mobile lower wing was advanced onto the island and was sutured onto the vaginal skin with intermittent sutures using 3-0 monocryl sutures.After cystoscopy,the prolene sutures were ligated crosswise in the suprapubic region.Special attention was paid notto create much tension on the mesh material.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. continence rates at three years after surgery

    Ultrapromesh® with its superior biomechanical characteristics and with its high success rates,low vaginal and urethral extrusion and denovo urgency rates determined in clinical studies,can be reliably and effectively used in sling surgery.

    Measured: three years after surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. urethral erosion at three years after surgery

    Measured: three years after surgery

  2. vaginal erosion at three years after surgery

    Measured: three years after surgery

  3. Denovo urgency at three years after surgery

    Measured: three years after surgery

  4. urine retantion at three years after surgery

    Measured: three years after surgery

  5. sutur granuloma at three years after surgery

    Measured: three years after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Synthetic sling surgery in people with Incontinence, run by Ataturk Training and Research Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

continence rates at three years after surgery (time frame: three years after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01348334, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 May 2011.
