Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine whether vaginal repair or abdominal repair is the procedure of choice for the surgical management of a prolapsed bladder.
| Condition | Intervention |

| Prolapse | Procedure: anterior vaginal repair (colporrhaphy) Procedure: abdominal paravaginal defect repair |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: None (Open Label) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Randomized Trial Comparing Anterior Colporrhaphy to Paravaginal Defect Repair for Anterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse |
Further study details as provided by Geisinger Clinic:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change in the stage of prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall before and one year after surgery [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- The difference in intra-operative and post-operative complications. Patient satisfaction before and one year after surgery based on quality of life and sexual function questionnaires specifically designed for patients with pelvic organ prolapse. [ Time Frame: 4 years ]

Detailed Description:
It is not known whether anterior vaginal repair (colporrhaphy) or abdominal paravaginal defect repair is the procedure of choice for the treatment anterior vaginal wall prolapse. This randomized prospective study will attempt to answer this question by assessing the change in the stage of prolapse before and after surgery, patient satisfaction through quality of life and sexual function questionnaires before and after surgery, and peri-operative complication rates. Patients enrolled into the study will be followed up for up to 2 years after surgery.
