Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- A composite of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) C point score, patient-rated symptom of vaginal bulging after vaginal colpopexy performed using the NeuGuide™ and the absence of further surgical therapy for uterine prolapse. [12 months]
Primary composite performance outcome
- The number of device / procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAE). [30 days]
Primary safety of surgical implantation as reflected by adverse events
- The number of Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events. [12 months]
Primary safety of NeuGuide treatment as reflected by adverse events
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in mean POP-Q C point score from baseline (cm). [one month]
Secondary anatomical performance of the NeuGuide treatment
- Change in mean POP-Q C point score from baseline (cm). [6 months]
Secondary anatomical performance of the NeuGuide treatment
- Change in mean POP-Q C point score from baseline (cm). [12 months]
Secondary anatomical of the NeuGuide treatment
- Change in mean POP-Q C point score from baseline (cm). [24 months]
Secondary anatomical performance of the NeuGuide treatment outcome
- Change in mean POP-Q C point score from baseline (cm). [36 months]
Secondary anatomical performance of the NeuGuide treatment
- Number of subjects who require surgical therapy of uterine prolapse or urinary incontinence. [36 months]
Secondary performance: durability of the NeuGuide treatment
- Number of subjects in whom the primary symptomatic reason for repair of prolapse persists. [12 months]
Secondary symptomatic performance of the NeuGuide treatment
- The time utilization of staff performing the NeuGuide procedure. [one month]
Secondary outcome: Cost performance of the procedure
- The POP-Q Stage Score calculated from POP-Q measurements, where the Stages of POP-Q system measurement are as follows: Stage 0 no prolapse is demonstrated Stage 1 the most distal portion of the prolapse is more than 1 cm above the level of the hymen [Baseline]
Secondary outcome: POP-Q Stage Score.
- The POP-Q Stage Score calculated from POP-Q measurements, where the Stages of POP-Q system measurement are as follows: Stage 0 no prolapse is demonstrated Stage 1 the most distal portion of the prolapse is more than 1 cm above the level of the hymen [one month]
Secondary outcome: POP-Q Stage Score.
- The POP-Q Stage Score calculated from POP-Q measurements, where the Stages of POP-Q system measurement are as follows: Stage 0 no prolapse is demonstrated Stage 1 the most distal portion of the prolapse is more than 1 cm above the level of the hymen [12 months]
Secondary outcome: POP-Q Stage Score.
- The POP-Q Stage Score calculated from POP-Q measurements, where the Stages of POP-Q system measurement are as follows: Stage 0 no prolapse is demonstrated Stage 1 the most distal portion of the prolapse is more than 1 cm above the level of the hymen [24 months]
Secondary outcome: POP-Q Stage Score.
- The POP-Q Stage Score calculated from POP-Q measurements, where the Stages of POP-Q system measurement are as follows: Stage 0 no prolapse is demonstrated Stage 1 the most distal portion of the prolapse is more than 1 cm above the level of the hymen [36 months]
Secondary outcome: POP-Q Stage Score.
