Efficacy Study of Vaginal Mesh for Anterior Prolapse
Recruiting
I'm InterestedTrial ID: NCT00557882
Purpose
The primary aim of this double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to test the
hypothesis that the addition of a standardized technique of interpositional synthetic
polypropylene mesh placement improves the one-year outcome of vaginal reconstructive surgery
for anterior prolapse compared to traditional vaginal reconstructive surgery without mesh.
