A retrospective comparison of two vaginal mesh kits in the management of anterior and apical vaginal prolapse: long-term results for apical fixation and quality of life

ConclusionsThe use of the Elevate Ant mesh was associated with significantly better apical correction at 2  years. Function improved in both groups, but with a significantly better PFDI-20 score in the Elevate Ant group at 1 and 2 years. The postoperative stress urinary incontinence rate, however, tended to be greater in the Elevate Ant group. The results need confirming with longer follow-up of these cohorts and in randomized studies.
