Official title
Effect of a New Risk Calculator on Patient Satisfaction With the Decision for Concomitant Midurethral Sling During Prolapse Surgery
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs with descent of one or more pelvic structures: the uterus and/or cervix, bowel, bladder, or rectum. Although options for treatment include expectant management, pelvic floor physical therapy, and pessary (intravaginal device) use, surgery is the only option which potentially offers a cure. It is well known that women with pelvic organ prolapse are at risk of developing new stress urinary incontinence symptoms after prolapse surgery. Stress urinary incontinence is defined as involuntary loss of urine with an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, such as sneezing, coughing, or laughing. Previous studies have demonstrated that the addition of a prophylactic anti-incontinence procedure at the time of prolapse surgery reduces this risk. One example of such a procedure is a mesh sling placed underneath the urethra (midurethral sling). Nevertheless, the decision to place a midurethral sling to prevent stress urinary incontinence after prolapse surgery remains controversial. A new risk calculator tool has been developed to provide patients' with their individualized risk of developing de novo stress urinary incontinence after prolapse surgery. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether use of this new personalized online risk calculator tool increases patient satisfaction with the decision whether or not to have a midurethral sling placed at the time of prolapse surgery to prevent development of stress urinary incontinence. The investigators hypothesize that use of this tool will increase patient satisfaction with their decision regarding midurethral sling placement.
