GYN | "LIFE" study for fecal incontinence
STUDY BRIEF | The LIFE study is a trial for women experiencing symptoms for Fecal Incontinence (FI). This study is evaluating the use of the investigational LivSure vaginal insert for the control of FI. The insert is non-surgical and does not contain drugs or hormones. It resides in a similar position as a diaphragm or tampon and can be removed by the patient at any time. While in the vagina, the device supports the rectum in a way that may control bowel leakage.
GYN | VAULT study for pelvic organ prolapse
STUDY BRIEF | The purpose of this research study is to learn about the effectiveness of 2 surgical techniques for treatment of uterovaginal prolapse: Laparoscopic/ robotic-assisted sacral hysteropexy and Vaginal Uphold Hysteropexy will be compared. Both procedures leave the uterus in place and use mesh to support the uterus and vagina. The cure rates, complications, and improvement of symptoms after these two procedures will be compared.
