About this study

This study evaluates the recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse and the rate of re-operation after primary surgery for anterior vaginal wall prolapse with native tissue repair in long term follow-up.

Read the detailed description

This was a retrospective cohort study including patients undergoing their first surgical intervention for pelvic organ prolapse in Turku University Hospital gynecology department in the years 2000-2005. The point of interest was to study patients with prolapse of the anterior vaginal compartment (i.e. cystocele) with native tissue repair surgical approach as treatment. We made a search from the medical database of surgical procedures for operation codes LEF00 (i.e.anterior colporraphy and LEF13 (i.e. vaginal hysterectomy of descended uterus with/without vaginal/perineal molding) during the studied period. Initially, we found 699 patients with matching operating codes and for those, we went through their medical records. From the final study population, we excluded those who had previously had an operation for pelvic organ prolapse and those whose primary operation didn't include anterior colporraphy and those who weren't eligible for long term follow-up. Thus, the study population constituted of 392 subjects who were followed through medical records until the end of October 2018.

From the medical records, we collected the day of birth, the date of the primary operation, body mass index, history of vaginal childbirth and cesarean section (if available), history of incontinence surgery, the grade of cystocele and diagnosis and before surgery, the operation code and executed surgical procedures, possible complications, and the history of possible re-operations. Also, the date of death was reported as well as the date of changing residence outside the Hospital District of Varsinais-Suomi.

All gathered information were saved without personal details.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Cystocele, run by Turku University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 20 Dec 2024. 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?

Rate of re-operations (time frame: Long-term, at least 5 years follow up.). 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 20 Dec 2024.
