COMET (Composite Outcomes of Mesh vs suture Techniques for prolapse repair)- Protocol for a single blind randomized controlled multicenter trial testing surgical innovation in female pelvic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) increases in incidence and severity with aging. At least 1 in 4 women seek pelvic floor care and many more suffer with concurrent symptoms of bowel, bladder and sexual dysfunction, which can have a large impact on quality of life. It is estimated that 1 in 5 women will undergo surgery for POP. POP is difficult to cure with existing surgeries and therefore treatment failure and reoperations are common. Surgical innovation in this area is urgently needed and we have developed a novel technique of bilateral sacrospinous vaginal vault fixation with synthetic mesh arms (BSSVF-M). Based on preliminary studies it may be more successful, durable and cost-effective than standard sacrospinous ligament suspension with sutures (SSLS). Preliminary developm
