A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter observational study aims to collect prospective data on patients with pelvic organ prolapse who are undergoing ventral mesh rectopexy via laparoscopy or robotic surgery. The study will evaluate long-term functional outcomes and complications such as mesh erosions, recurrence, and reoperations. Key questions include the effectiveness of ventral mesh rectopexy for treating rectoceles and the impact of perineal descent on functional outcomes. The registry is based on ongoing research at the University Hospital of Antwerp.
