Glue instead of stitches: new fix for pelvic mesh problems

NCT ID NCT02011373

Summary

This study tested a synthetic surgical glue as an alternative to stitches or staples for securing mesh implants during laparoscopic surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse. Researchers wanted to see if using this glue could reduce complications like vaginal erosion that sometimes occur with traditional fixation methods. The study followed 70 women with significant prolapse for 12 months to measure the success of the repair and any complications.
