The purpose of this clinical investigation is to collect clinical data about the ProGYNious Mesh based on a prospective clinical investigation. The primary objective is to verify the treatment outcome and success of the ProGYNious mesh implant in pelvic organ prolapse repair. The secondary objective is to confirm the safety, risks, complications and quality of life of ProGYNious as an implant for pelvic organ prolapse repair.
ProGYNious is a Y-shaped synthetic mesh implant which combines two types of polypropylene meshes with different properties. The mesh body is made of ultra-light monofilament polypropylene with a wide hexagonal pore structure with a high level of elasticity. A reinforced mesh material with a smaller pore structure is used for the mesh neck which achieves a strong fixation to the sacral promontory. This study is a prospective international multi-center post-market clinical investigation with five participating medical centers.

Objective cure rate for pelvic organ prolapse
Objective cure rate during follow-up defined by: 1. Anatomic cure by POP-Q \<= 1 (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System) 2. Absence of bulge symptoms 3. No additional pelvic organ prolapse treatment necessary
Time frame: 3 months and 12 months post-operative
Complications and adverse events during follow-up
Peri- and post-operative complications, mesh erosion / mesh extrusion (analyzed according to the ICS/IUGA Complication Classification), de novo stress urinary incontinence, de novo urge urinary incontinence
Time frame: 3 months and 12 months post-operative
Objective outcome (POP-Q)
Intra-individual comparison of the POP-Q (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System) locations and antomical markers (pre-operative vs. post-operative). The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system is an objective, standardized, site-specific system used by clinicians to assess, describe, and stage pelvic support in women. It uses 6 anatomical points measured in centimeters relative to the hymen to diagnose the severity of prolapse.
Time frame: 3 months and 12 months post-operative
Quality of Life (QoL) and sexual function
Analysis of the improvement in quality of life (QoL) and sexual function with the German Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (GPFQ, Deutscher Beckenbodenfragebogen). The GPFQ does contain the domains bladder function, bowel function, prolapse and sexual symptoms. In each domain a total of 10 points may be reached. The maximum symptom score for the entire questionnaire are 40 points.
Time frame: 3 months and 12 months post-operative
Subjective success
Subjective success described by Patients Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I). Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) score four years after incontinence surgery. The Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) is a global index that may be used to rate the response of a condition to a therapy (transition scale). It is a simple, direct, easy to use scale that is intuitively understandable to clinicians: * Very much better * Much better * A little better * No change * A little worse * Much worse * Very much worse
Time frame: 3 months and 12 months post-operative
