DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objectives and aims of this application are for the San Diego site to continue its work In the Pelvic Floor Disorders Network (PFDN). The unique strength of our application is our proven two site model, which combines the strengths of 7 academic investigators at both a tertiary medical center and a large volume HMO. We would like to provide leadership, continuity, innovation, academic expertise, a captured diverse patient population, and a proven research infrastructure to the network. We have a track-record of being the top 2 recruitment in surgical trials for pelvic floor disorders and we want to continue that into the third cycle of the PFDN. As noted in the RFA," In many cases, clinicians caring for women with pelvic floor disorders have adopted principles of care and surgical techniques before rigorous, objective, controlled evaluation has taken place. New devices and techniques have had a dramatic influence on surgical practice...".Our study addresses this concern. Vaginal mesh is probably the most controversial topic in pelvic floor disorders and a strong argument can be made that the PFDN is the best group to study it. A growing-trend of women is seeking uterine sparing surgery for prolapse and a growing trend of gynecologists and urologists are managing uterine prolapse with vaginal mesh kit procedures. Our proposed randomized trial of uterine sparing, grafted vaginal apical suspension vs. traditional hysterectomy with native tissue suspension addresses the very important question of whether it is necessary to remove the uterus to treat uterine prolapse. This proposed study recognizes the role of new devices and techniques that are changing our care of women with pelvic floor disorders. Our comprehensive outcome measures should allow us to answer whether these new uterine-sparing, apical vaginal procedures are reasonable alternatives to conventional vaginal hysterectomy and native tissue suspension. RELEVANCE: Our site's participation in the next cycle of the PFDN should allow successful network recruitment for surgical trials. Uterine prolapse is a very common pelvic floor disorder and we should determine the best vaginal surgical treatment for this condition. This proposed research study will answer whether uterine - sparing procedures are reasonable alternatives to hysterectomy for this condition.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的和目的是让圣地亚哥站点继续其在盆底疾病网络 (PFDN) 中的工作。我们应用程序的独特优势在于我们经过验证的双站点模型，它结合了三级医疗中心和大型 HMO 的 7 名学术研究人员的优势。我们希望为该网络提供领导力、连续性、创新、学术专业知识、捕获的多样化患者群体以及经过验证的研究基础设施。我们在盆底疾病外科试验中拥有排名前 2 的记录，我们希望将这一记录延续到 PFDN 的第三个周期。正如 RFA 中所指出的，“在许多情况下，护理患有盆底疾病的女性的临床医生在进行严格、客观、受控的评估之前就已经采用了护理原则和手术技术。新设备和技术对手术实践产生了巨大影响...”。我们的研究解决了这个问题。阴道网片可能是盆底疾病中最具争议的话题，并且可以有力地证明 PFDN 是研究它的最佳小组。越来越多的女性寻求子宫脱垂手术，妇科医生和泌尿科医生也越来越多地通过阴道网片手术治疗子宫脱垂。我们提出的保留子宫、移植阴道顶端悬吊术与传统子宫切除术和天然组织悬吊术的随机试验解决了是否有必要切除子宫来治疗子宫脱垂的非常重要的问题。这项拟议的研究认识到新设备和技术的作用正在改变我们对患有盆底疾病的女性的护理。我们的综合结果测量应该使我们能够回答这些新的保留子宫、顶端阴道手术是否是传统阴道子宫切除术和天然组织悬浮术的合理替代方案。 相关性：我们的网站参与下一个 PFDN 周期应该能够成功地招募手术试验的网络。子宫脱垂是一种非常常见的盆底疾病，我们应该针对这种情况确定最佳的阴道手术治疗方法。这项拟议的研究将回答对于这种情况，保留子宫手术是否是子宫切除术的合理替代方案。
