Multicenter Ventral Mesh Rectopexy Registry Collaborative

Condition(s) studied

Study summary

The goal of this multicenter observational study is to collect data prospectively of patients with pelvic organ prolapse undergoing ventral mesh rectopexy (as well as rectoceles, entero-/sigmoidoceles/ intussusception/ rectal prolapse or combined) by laparoscopy or robotic surgery and to evaluate the longterm functional outcomes.

Secondly complications (mesh erosions, recurrence, reoperations) are evaluated.

Following main questions will be analysed - other can follow in consultation with the collaborative

1. Is VMR the technique of choice for treatment of rectoceles? Functional results - recurrence - mesh related complications
2. Has a perineal descent an impact on the functional outcome of ventral mesh rectopexy perfored for external rectal prolaps, internal rectal prolaps, rectocele, enterocele, sigmoidcele or combined pelvic organ prolapse?

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Functional outcome — 5 years
  Evaluation of the long-term functional outcomes of ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) for posterior organ prolapse. Is VMR the surgical technique of choice for treatment of rectoceles?
• Has perineal descent has an impact on the functional outcome of ventral mesh rectopexy performed for external rectal prolaps, internal rectal prolaps, rectocele, enterocele, sigmoidocele or combined pelvic organ prolapse? — 5 years
