The purpose of this study is to determine the long term performance of Restorelle system for the treatment of uterine prolapse.
This study is being done to evaluate the performance of the Restorelle system, which uses Smartmesh - an ultra-lightweight mesh for uterine prolapse management. Most patients undergo a hysterectomy i.e. removal of the uterus when they have a prolapse. However, this has often been found to be an unnecessary operation. The investigators are studying the use of the Restorelle mesh system to preserve the uterus when there is a uterine prolapse.

Number of patients who present with recurrence of uterine prolapse following surgery as assessed by failing to meet success criteria
Success criteria will be defined through the examination of patient's Prolapse Quantification System Assessment (POPQ) score of C -1 or less and patient's report of bothersome bulge they can see or feel per Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form 20 (PFDI-20) question 3, response of 0 or 1 (i.e. response of "not at all"). Failure to meet this criteria will be considered recurrence of uterine prolapse.
