Trocar-Guided Transvaginal Mesh Repair of Pelvic Organ Prolapse

To prospectively assess clinical outcomes after pelvic organ prolapse repair with a standardized trocar-guided surgical device using polypropylene mesh. This was a prospective multicenter cohort study performed throughout 26 clinics. Evaluation at baseline, 2 months, and 1 year after surgery included prolapse grading using the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q) and symptom assessment using the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6). For the purpose of this study, postoperative POP-Q stage 0-I was considered anatomic cure. Two-hundred sixty-one patients were included in the study; 232 (89%) attended the 1-year follow-up. Mean+/-standard deviation age at surgery was 66.3+/-9.4 years. Anatomic cure 1 year after surgery was observed in 96 of 121 women (79%) after anterior repair with mesh (P
