1 The clinical evaluation of NAZCA, CALISTAR and SPLENTIS it is based on the compilation of relevant scientific literature that is currently available, so Promedon S.A. considered that clinical investigation of these products was not necessary to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness. This clinical evaluation is divided by: a) The widely-known experience with the use of mesh over the last 90 years... 1 a.1) Introduction... 1 a.2 ) Materials used in the manufacture of mesh... 5 b) The comparison between NAZCA, CALISTAR and SPLENTIS with different medical devices for the treatment of vaginal prolapse... 6 c) The clinical results in surgery verifications... 7 d) Conclusion... 9 a) The widely-known experience with the use of mesh over the last 90 years a.1) Introduction Vaginal prolapse is a disorder similar to a hernia. The vaginal wall looses it strength and the abdominal organ felt over it. This situation can cause an anterior prolapse, a posterior prolapse or it can produce problems in the vaginal dome (apical prolapse). ANTERIOR VAGINAL WALL PROLAPSE OR CYSTOCELE Anterior prolapse occurs when the wall between vagina and bladder looses it strength, causing the bladder drop or sag into the vagina. An anterior prolapse may result from an excessive muscle straining during giving birth, intense straining throughout life or upon exertion during bowel movement (chronic constipation). This condition may cause discomfort and problems with emptying the bladder (an incomplete emptying of bladder could cause infections). The elastic tissues of the vagina may compensate for this tear for some time after the injury occurs. Because the hormone estrogen helps keep the elastic tissues around the vagina strong, an anterior prolapse may not occur until menopause, when levels of estrogen decrease. There are no muscles around the vagina, except the bulbocavernosus muscles at the entrance to the vagina. The levator muscle passes around the vagina and the rectum and inserts into the levator plate, which can elevate rectum, the vagina and the bladder neck together. It is this muscle that is exercised by Kegel exercises. Elevation of the levator plate may partially compensate for the herniation. Page 1 of 11
2 A bladder that has dropped from its normal position may cause two kinds of problems: unwanted urine leakage (heavy work, coughing, sneezing or laughing) and incomplete emptying of the bladder (which may lead to infections). The pubocervical fascia provides back support to the mid urethra, allowing compression when abdominal pressure is increased. This prevents urine loss with sudden increases in pressure, as with coughs, sneezes, laughs, or moves in any way that puts pressure on the bladder. If this compression is lost by tissue tears, then stress incontinence results. If the base of the bladder herniates, then urine will sump down into the inside of the hernia, and bladder emptying will be impaired. Anterior prolapse is classified in grades: An anterior prolapse is mild (grade I) when the bladder droops only a short way into the vagina. With more severe (grade II) anterior prolapse, the bladder sinks far enough to reach the opening of the vagina. The most advanced (grade III) anterior prolapse occurs when the bladder bulges out through the opening of the vagina. A doctor may be able to diagnose a grade II or III anterior prolapse from a description of symptoms and from physical examination of the vagina because the fallen part of the bladder will be visible. The specific treatment for anterior prolapse varies according to several parameters: age, patient s overall health status and medical record, stage of the disease, tolerance to specific medications, procedures or therapies and expectations for the course of the disease. Treatment may be non-surgical for mild cases (grade I) or surgical for more severe anterior prolapse cases (grades II or III). If anterior prolapse is not bothersome, the suggestions include: avoiding heavy lifting and straining, or placing a pessary, a device to hold the bladder in place. In the case of women going through menopause, estrogen therapy to help strengthen the muscles around the vagina may be recommended. Patients should be informed about the possible risks of taking estrogens. POSTERIOR VAGINAL WALL PROLAPSE OR RECTOCELE A protrusion of the visceral content toward the posterior fibromuscular wall of the vagina is called Posterior prolapse. The degree of severity of posterior prolapse may range from a slight bulge of the rectum on the posterior wall of the vagina (Grade I) to a bulge protrusion through the vaginal opening (grade III), witch refer to a portion of the rectum bulging into the vagina and protruding outside the body. The posterior vaginal vault prolapse results from multiple structural support defects. Bulging seems to occur as a consequence of the rupture of the attenuation of the endopelvic structures together with tissue weakness. Vaginal vault prolapse is classified into four grades: Page 2 of 11
3 - Grade I, the vault goes beyond the inferior half of the vagina, without reaching the hymen. - Grade II, the vault reaches the hymen. - Grade III, the vault goes beyond the hymen, but the vagina is not completely inverted. - Grade IV, there is a complete vaginal eversion. Posterior prolapse and apical prolapse are caused by different factors, including constipation, obstetric trauma, prolonged delivery or following a hysterectomy. Non-surgical treatments, such pessaries to elevate the uterus or colpocleisis, can be used with a reduced group of women who are not eligible for surgery, but they are not adequate for women with potential sexual activity. Another way to revert the prolapse of the rectum is to sacrospinous fixation, but it could damage the neurovascular structure adjacent to the vagina. Vaginal prolapse repair with mesh: The concept of biosurgery, a term coined by Hubert Manhes in France in the 1990s, was highly significant in the advance of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery using meshes for tissue reinforcement as well as in the development of transobturator procedures. Manhes support the idea that surgeons leave aside the clearly mechanical concept of surgeries since they work on live tissues that have their own healing and repair laws. Biosurgery values the principles of traditional surgery, associated to tissue reinforcement induced by biomaterials, and it is characterized by the following principles: 1- Minimally invasive approach. 2- Research of anatomical and physiological planes. 3- Minimum trauma. 4- Respect for tissue engineering and its specific ecosystems. 5- Gives its own solutions, that stimulates and divert body reactions where necessary. 6- No fixation (sutures lead to necrosis and infection). 7- Immediate anatomical and functional results. Surgical procedures using a mesh offer better expectations of a permanent vaginal prolapse repair. There are two types of surgical approaches: vaginal and abdominal (laparoscopic). Laparoscopic procedures require highly skilled professionals, specialized training and hospital stay of 2-7 days. Vaginal approach has the advantage of being minimally invasive, decreasing postoperative pain and reducing morbidity associated to Page 3 of 11
4 abdominal processes. These surgical procedures are used since the 1960s, such as the prepubic approach, which started en Several studies demonstrated that these surgical implantation techniques are safe, effective and minimally invasive. Moreover, they offer many advantages such a short postoperative period, a short sick leave, simplicity in procedure and a short learning curve 19. At present, a growing number of surgeons are implanting meshes from different companies using the anterior and posterior intravaginal approaches. These techniques are minimally invasive due to the use of needles that facilitate the passage of mesh arms through the tissues. These techniques are also highly recommended for obese patients or for those patients who had previously undergone vaginal surgeries 23. NAZCA and CALISTAR mesh for vaginal prolapse repair: NAZCA consists of a mesh and disposable surgical instruments to easy the implantation by intravaginal approach. Mesh arms have silicone connectors at the ends that allow threading of the needles and introducing the arms through the tissues. Connectors are then cut and discarded. CALISTAR consists of a mesh and disposable surgical instruments to easy the implantation by intravaginal approach. Mesh arms have polypropylene columns at the ends that allow threading of the needles and anchor the mesh. The mesh is made of monofilament polypropylene (same of SAFYRE and OPHIRA sling) and it is placed on the bladder or rectum with no tension. Interconnective tissue grows through its pores and holes, allowing for good implant integration and no loss of vascularization between the vagina and the bladder in the case of anterior prolapse treatment, and between the vagina and the rectum in the case of posterior prolapse treatment or apical prolapse. There are holes in the center of the mesh in order to reduce the amount of synthetic material implanted and to make the mesh softer and more flexible, while allowing a fast growth of connective tissue between both walls. Promedon has four mesh models: 1- A mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair, which consists of a mesh with four arms. At surgeon s discretion, these arms can be placed tension free, two in each obturator foramen, or two prepubic and the other two in each obturator foramen. The set includes two disposable transobturator needles and one disposable prepubic needle. Page 4 of 11
5 2- The mesh for posterior vaginal wall prolapse repair has two arms which are placed in the lateral wall of the elevator muscle, according to the sling implantation technique by posterior approach. The set includes two disposable needles for posterior approach. 3- A mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair, which consists of a mesh with two polypropylene columns with multiple fixation points, and 3 anchors with suture. The set includes one disposable retractable insertion guide. 4- A mesh for posterior vaginal wall prolapse repair, which consists of a polypropylene mesh, and 3 anchors with suture. The set includes one disposable retractable insertion guide. Promedon meshes are permanent implants and they are provided as sterile single-use products. They come in a double pouch-like bag or in a PETG tray, as well as the needles. All content comes in a cardboard box. a.2 ) Materials used in the manufacture of mesh The bibliography mentions different materials used for the construction of mesh, which can be classified in 2 groups: synthetic origin and biological origin. The synthetic materials offer a great mechanical resistance and they do not have risk of transmission of diseases like the biological materials. The biological materials are better accepted by tissues, although they are reabsorbed with time. 9 Biologic Materials: Autologous Cadaveric fascia lata Porcine Small Intestine Poliéster Polyethylene terephthalate Polytetrafluoroethylene Synthetic Materials: Equally the use of the synthetic mesh for repair of genital prolapse has drastically reduced the recurrence rate from 30-50% in the past to the present 3-6% 25. One of synthetic mesh more used in the treatment of vaginal prolapse is made with polypropylene mesh. Page 5 of 11
6 AMS, Sofradim, Tyco, Cousin Biotech, Ethicon, Hi-Tec, Bard are some of the companies that offer mesh for the vaginal prolapse repair. b) The comparison between NAZCA, CALISTAR and SPLENTIS with different medical devices for the treatment of vaginal prolapse As shown below, the characteristics of NAZCA TC and CALISTAR A are compared with 4 of the main devices for the treatment of anterior prolapse: Characters Devices NAZCA TC (Promedon) Perigee (AMS) CALISTAR A (Promedon) Profilt (Gynecare-J&J) Avaulta (Bard- Sofradim) Elevate Anterior (AMS) Mesh Composition with porcine coating Transvaginal Transvaginal Single Incision Single Incision Surgical Approach Transobturator/ Prepubic Transobturator Obturator internous Muscle/ Transobturator Transobturator Obturator internous Muscle/ Sacrospinous Sacrospinous Ligament Ligament Surgical Instruments TOT Needles TOT Needles Rectractable insertion guide Universal Needles TOT Needles Rectractable insertion guide As shown below, the characteristics of NAZCA R and CALISTAR P are compared with 3 of the main devices for the treatment of posterior prolapse: Characters Devices NAZCA R (Promedon) CALISTAR P (Promedon) Apogee (AMS) Profilt (Gynecare- J&J) Elevate Posterior (AMS) Mesh Composition Page 6 of 11
