Brief Summary
This is an extension study of a prospective, multicenter, randomized, single-blind trial whose purpose is to compare mesh-related complications and effectiveness of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair in women undergoing minimally-invasive total hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy (SCP) with a light-weight polypropylene mesh (Upsylon™ y-mesh) using permanent (polytetrafluoroethylene, Gore-Tex) versus delayed absorbable monofilament (polydioxanone, PDS) suture for vaginal mesh attachment through at least 3 years after surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Vaginal Mesh or Suture Exposure
Total number of participants (96% with permanent and 86% absorbable suture) will be examined and evaluated for vaginal mesh and/or suture exposure at 2 years or grater time period. Exposure of the suture or mesh will be defined upon the visual examination in the clinic, It is expected to identify \<10% patient population during examination
Post Procedure Evaluation at Minimum 2 years
Vaginal Mesh or Suture Exposure
Total number of participants (96% with permanent and 86% absorbable suture) will be examined and evaluated for vaginal mesh and/or suture exposure at 3 years or grater time period. Exposure of the suture or mesh will be defined upon the visual examination in the clinic, It is expected to identify \<10% patient population during examination
Post Procedure Evaluation at 3 years
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Anatomic success
Post Procedure Evaluation at Minimum 2 years and 3 years
Subjective success
Post Procedure Evaluation at Minimum 2 years and 3 years
Assessment for re-intervention or re-surgery for recurrence of persistence of POP
Post Procedure Evaluation at Minimum 2 years and 3 years
Study Arms (2)
