Objective and subjective outcome 3 years after synthetic transobturator non-absorbable anterior mesh in symptomatic advanced pelvic organ prolapse surgery
Conclusion The Perigee System gave a favorable result in both anatomical and subjective success rate with a low rate of mesh related morbidities. The strength of the study reported here is its long-term follow-up of a relatively large number of patients and the use of validated questionnaires. Limitations are that it is not an RCT; hence, selection and indication bias is unavoidable. The good outcome and low morbidities resulting from mesh use is from a single surgeon’s perspective and may not be generalized to others. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)
