Protocol for a randomized controlled trial to assess two procedures of vaginal native tissue repair for pelvic organ prolapse at the time of the questioning on vaginal prosthesis: the TAPP trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Native tissue cystocele repair has been the cornerstone of prolapse surgery, especially since the learned societies warned clinicians and patients about serious mesh-related complications. Surgical techniques mainly consist in anterior colporraphy and vaginal patch plastron. However, success rates of native tissue cystocele repair are heterogeneous, depending on the design of studies and definition of outcomes. To date, high-quality data comparing vaginal native tissue procedures are still lacking.

Methods

Herein we aimed to describe the design of the first randomized controlled trial (TAPP) comparing anterior colporraphy (plication of the muscularis and adventitial layers of the vaginal wall) and vaginal patch plastron (bladder support anchored on the tendinous a
