Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the anatomical and functional results of traditional anterior colporrhaphy and polypropylene mesh surgery in cystocele treatment. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study conducted in the Urogynecology Clinic of Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Maternity and Women's Health Teaching and Research Hospital between June 2006 and February 2007. Forty patients with stage II and III cystocele according to the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system were allocated by a computer programme to conventional or mesh surgery. Twenty patients each underwentanterior colporrhaphy (group I) or polypropylene mesh (Sofradim(®), Parieten) surgery (group II). Both groups were followed for 12 months. RESULTS: At the end of the 12th month, anatomical cure rates were 15/20 (75%) and 19/20 (95%) in groups I and II, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). De novo stress urinary incontinence developed in one patient in group I. Mesh erosion developed postoperatively in three cases (15%). CONCLUSION: In terms of anatomical cure rates, polypropylene mesh surgery was the more successful treatment option when compared with anterior colporrhaphy at the end of 1 year follow-up.
