Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in PFDI-20 Prolapse Subscale (POPDI-6) score
Pelvic Floor Disability Index (PFDI-20) includes 20 questions are rated from 0 to 4, with 0 is no present of distress and 4 is the highest of symptom scale. Pelvic Floor Disability Index distress index is a subscale of the first 6 questions of the above scale
6 months
Secondary Outcomes (5)

6 months
Change in PFDI-20
at baseline 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months compared to preoperative
Change in PISQ-12 scores
at baseline 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months compared to preoperative
PGI-I
3 months, 6 months, and 12 months

Study Arms (1)
Apyx device treatment
OTHERThe Apyx device enables approximation and fixation of the vaginal apex to the SSL using a deployable anchoring system. Using the device, SSLF can be performed transvaginally without the need for any incisions or blind dissections and without the requirement of heavy anesthesia.
Interventions
The Apyx device enables approximation and fixation of the vaginal apex to the SSL using a deployable anchoring system.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Women with prolapse electing to undergo reconstructive vaginal surgery for primary uterovaginal prolapse, who wish to enroll in this trial of an incision-free prolapse repair technique, after being familiarized with the suspected benefits and risks of the procedure.
- Ages 18-90 years old
- POP-Q Stage 2 or greater with an apical support defect, also defined as uterovaginal prolapse
- Desire of uterine preservation
- Patient is willing to return for follow-up evaluation and questionnaire completion at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, in addition to routine postoperative standard of care.
- English fluency
You may not qualify if:
- Previous vaginal, abdominal, or laparoscopic repair for pelvic organ prolapse
- Prior hysterectomy
- Known allergy to Nitinol / Stainless Steel / Polydioxanone.
- Suspected uterine pathology, including malignancy.
- History of chronic pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis or fibromyalgia.
- Women diagnosed with symptomatic uterine fibroids, cervical elongation or hypertrophy, abnormal uterine or vaginal bleeding.
- History of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
- Prior pelvic radiation therapy or malignancy.
- Diagnosis of reproductive tract anomalies.
- Pregnant or lactating women.
- Participation in another trial
- Inability to provide informed consent for study enrollment
- PI's subjective assessment that study procedure will not plausibly correct patient pelvic organ prolapse symptoms due to anatomic considerations
