About this study

The objective of the study is to retrospectively collect the data on patients who underwent pelvic organ prolapse treatment using a non-ablative Er:YAG laser with SMOOTH mode and to conduct an objective evaluation of safety and efficacy of Er:YAG laser treatment. In a group of patients that have concomitant stress urinary incontinence symptoms, the effectiveness of the treatments on these symptoms will be evaluated as well.

Read the detailed description

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affect many women and can dramatically decrease their quality of life. Most of the patients diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence also have a degree of pelvic organ prolapse and vice-versa.

One of the more promising new approaches in treating disorders connected to pelvic floor dysfunction has been the introduction of vaginal erbium laser treatment for pelvic organ prolapse.

The primary aim of the present retrospective study was toassess the effectiveness of vaginal erbium laser with SMOOTH mode for the treatment of patients with pelvic organ prolapse and co-existing stress urinary incontinence, if present.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cystocele stage

    Assesment of POP grade using Baden-Walker scale

    Measured: Before and at all follow ups (up to 3 months after last treatment)

  2. Severity of stress urinary incontinence

    assessment of SUI severity using ICIQ-UI questionnaire

    Measured: Before and at all follow ups (up to 3 months after last treatment)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assesment of safety

    Assesment of adverse effects

    Measured: Before and at all follow ups (up to 3 months after last treatment)

  2. Patient satisfaction

    Assesment of patient satisfaction using 0-10 VAS scale

    Measured: Before and at all follow ups (up to 3 months after last treatment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystocele and Pelvic Organ Prolapse, run by Aleksandra Novakov Mikic at 1 site in Serbia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cystocele stage (time frame: Before and at all follow ups (up to 3 months after last treatment)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
