Safety and Efficacy of Transvaginal Mesh Colposuspension for Anterior Vaginal Prolapse: the Elevate vs. Anterior Colporrhaphy Trial


This study is designed to compare the safety and efficacy of a commercially available mesh
kit used for surgical repair of anterior vaginal wall prolapse with traditional suture
repair surgery.


This is a multicenter, double blinded, randomized controlled trial, comparing Elevate®
System with Intepro® Lite™, Anterior and Apical Prolapse Repair System (American Medical
Systems) and Anterior Colporrhaphy (anterior suture repair) in women with symptomatic pelvic
organ prolapse, who have opted to have surgical repair.

The goals of the study are to compare both efficacy and safety of the two procedures and to
compare the surgical impact of mesh and suture repairs on vaginal function.

The principal investigator is from Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. Mayo Clinic will serve as
the data gathering and coordination site for this multicenter trial.

- women older than 21 years of age

- with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse who opt for a vaginal repair
