Abstract

We compared safety and efficacy of Gynemesh PS® and Pelvicol® for recurrent cystocele repair. One hundred ninety patients were randomly divided into Gynemesh PS® and Pelvicol® groups and underwent tension-free cystocele repair. The Chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables, the paired t test for continuous parametric variables, and the Mann–Whitney test for continuous nonparametric variables. Ninety-six Gynemesh PS® patients and 94 Pelvicol® patients were studied. Mesh erosions occurred in 6.3% of Gynemesh PS® patients. No erosions were observed in Pelvicol® patients (p = 0.02). Objective cure was 71.9% for Gynemesh PS® and 56.4% for Pelvicol® (p = 0.06). Subjective cure was the same in both groups except for better sexuality in the Pelvicol® group. At 24 months follow-up, only Gynemesh PS® patients had mesh erosions. Anatomical outcome was similar in the two groups. Pelvicol® gave a better impact on voiding and sexuality.
