Results of Xenform® Matrix Repair in Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse- A Four Year Study

Abstract

Pelvic organ prolapse is a common gynaecological disorder with a 11 % life time risk of requiring at least one surgery to correct prolapse. Approximately, one third of these women face the risk of needing surgery for recurrent prolapse [1]. The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study demonstrated post hysterectomy prevalence of cystocoele of 32.9% and rectocele of 18.3% [2]. Similar rates were shown to be prevalent in women with uterus and rate of uterine prolapse was 14.2% [2]. There has been an ongoing clinical need for various materials to reinforce the native tissues to optimise the prolapse repair with particular emphasis to reduce the recurrence [3-30].
