Does Pelvicol Graft in the Posterior Compartment Offer Any Benefit to Surgical Outcomes During Laparoscopic Sacral Colpoperineopexy?
Women with vaginal bulging who are undergoing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy at Clarian Health
are eligible to enroll in this study. Two different methods of correcting rectocele at the
time of sacrocolpopexy will be compared for surgical outcome, surgical complications, and
patient satisfaction with intercourse and bowel function. One of the surgical methods uses
an additional graft material and one surgical method does not. It is hypothesized that the
method which uses an additional graft material to strengthen the patient's tissues will have
a better outcome.
