About this study

Official title: Vaginal Prolapse Surgery Accompanied by Mid Urethral Sling Versus no Sling for Reduction of Postoperative Incontinence: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Prevalence of pelvic organ prolapsed is high in Nepal. After prolapse surgery many patients are affected with incontinence. Incontinence has physical, social and mental effect to the individual. This study is designed to know the role for mid urethral sling during vaginal prolapse surgery to decrease the rate of incontinence after the surgery.

Read the detailed description

Aim: To de termine the effect of mid urethral sling in reducing postoperative incontinence after vaginal prolapse surgery.

General Objectives: To compare the risk of de novo postoperative incontinence between prolapsed surgery with mid urethral sling versus no sling.

Specific Objectives: to compare the change in score of BFLUTS-SF (Bristol Female lower urinary tract symptoms- sexual function) and UDI-6 (Urinary distress inventory-6) pre and post surgery between the two groups.

Research Hypothesis: The use of mid urethral sling after vaginal prolapse surgery has role in reduction of postoperative incontinence.

Materials \& Methods:

  1. Whether study involves humans/animals or both : Humans
  2. Population/ participants: Patients with pelvic organ prolapse who are planned for vaginal prolapse surgery in BPKIHS (BP Koirala Institute of Health and Sciences).
  3. Type of study design: a randomized controlled trial (e) Expected sample size: 54 Sample size calculation: Previous study done by Control groups: Patient undergoing vaginal prolapse surgery only without mid urethral sling. There will be small incision in the suprapubic region that mimics the TVT incision. (f) Probable duration of study: one and half year (g) Setting: BPKIHS, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (h) Parameter/Variables to be applied/ measured: Age, BMI, POPQ (Pelvic organ prolapse quantification) stage, menopause, ESST (Empty supine stress test). (i) Outcome measures: LUTS score, UDI-6 score, SUI (stress urinary incontinence), Voiding dysfunction, dyspareunia, satisfaction, Complications like bladder injury, hemorrhage. (j) Rationale for statistical methods to be employed: attached (k) Ethical clearance: Study will be started after getting clearance from the IRC (Institutional review committee) of BPKIHS . (l) Permission to use copyright questionnaire/Proforma: Pre designed Proforma and questionnaire will be used to collect the data. The internationally valid questionnaire in English will be validated in Nepali language first and then it will be used. (m) Maintain the confidentiality of subject: The confidentiality of the patients will be maintained throughout the research.

What participants receive

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

  • Retro pubic slingDevice

    Also called vaginal hysterectomy

    patient after hysterectomy will undergo retropubic sling surgery in the same setting. Retropubic sling will be inserted vaginally in the retropubic area following standard protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Stress urinary incontinence

    The primary outcome of the study will be the presence of stress urinary incontinence in post operative at 3 months follow up. During follow up patient will be asked about the urinary incontinence on coughing, sneezing, heavy work and will examined in comfortably full bladder and cough stress test will be done to confirm the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. stress urinary incontinence

    The primary outcome of the study will be the presence of stress urinary incontinence in post operative at 6 months follow up. During follow up patient will be asked about the urinary incontinence on coughing, sneezing, heavy work and will examined in comfortably full bladder and cough stress test will be done to confirm the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 1) BFLUTS-FS (frequency symptoms), VS(voiding symptoms), IS (Irritable symptoms), Sex symptoms , QoL (Quality of life) score 2) UDI-6 (Urinary distress inventory-6) score 3) Complications during surgery 4) Dyspareunia 5) Pelvic pain

    The main two questionnaires used in this study are BFLUTS-SF and UDI-6. BFLUTS-SF has five different section

    1. BFLUTS- FS: frequency symptoms and score ranges from 0-15, VS: voiding symptoms and score is from 0-12 IS: irritable bladder symptoms and score is from 0-20. . sex: sexual symptoms and score is from 0-6. QoL: quality of life due to bladder symptoms and score is from 0-18.
    2. UDI-6 score: quality of life due to bladder symptoms. Score range from 0-18. Severity increases as score increases in each section. High score denotes patient are highly affected due to bladder problems.
    3. Complications are noted hemorrhage, bladder injury, prolonged catheterization, urinary retention, need of mesh removal Remote complications: mesh erosion, Dyspareunia, pelvic pain, these complications will be noted. For pelvic pain visual analogue scale will be used, score having 1-10; 0, being least to 10 being the maximum.

    Measured: 3 months

Model description
If patient gives consent and falls on selection criteria (inclusion and exclusion), she will be enrolled for randomization. Written informed consent will be taken. Computer generated simple randomization will be done.filled. POP-Q, Occult SUI and ESST will be checked and noted. This will be done by one of the researcher. Surgery will be performed by one of the researcher. Both Group I and Group II patients will undergo vaginal hysterectomy with McCall's culdoplasty and anterior repair with or without posterior repair according to the need. Patient who falls in Group I will undergo midurethral sling with tension free vaginal tape (TVT). Patient will be followed up at 3 and 6 months. The primary outcome of the study will be the difference in SUI. Secondary outcomes will be BFLUTS AND udi-6 SCORE, voiding dysfunction, dyspareunia, patient satisfaction and complications during surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Retro pubic sling in people with Stress Urinary Incontinence and Vaginal Hysterectomy, run by B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2020. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact baburam Dixit (Thapa), MD/MS (977-9842352481, baburamdixit@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stress urinary incontinence (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Feb 2020.
