Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

It is unknown whether it is best to do the TVT( procedure for urinary stress incontinence in women) at the time of prolapse surgery or at a later date. Women with both conditions were randomized to both procedures together or the TVT 3 months after the prolapse surgery. Any or no leakage when couching was the main end-point, evaluated 1 year after the last surgery

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Vaginal Repair for prolapse, TVT procedure
  • Procedure: TVT and Prolapse surgery
N/A

Detailed Description

All women were evaluated by the POP-Q (pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification) prior to surgery and 1 year after.

Examination for urinary leakage was done prior to surgery and 1 year after. Group 2 was also examined after prolapse surgery to see if TVT was still needed.
